Functions of Internal Temporal Dialogues

Psychological literature in the field of internal dialogical activity assumes that internal temporal dialogues perform several important functions, namely: support, redefining the past, balancing, distancing, advising, making decisions, acquiring wisdom and managing the future. The article is an attempt to verify this proposal through qualitative analyses of temporal dialogues conducted by three persons, who participate in the wider research project on functions of internal temporal dialogues (N = 200). Dialogical Temporal Chair Technique was used. Presented qualitative analyses of internal temporal dialogues seem to confirm most of the functions listed in the theoretical proposition. The results are also discussed with reference to well-being and happiness as well as the theory of the dialogical self (the role of metaposition) and time perspective.
