这项纵向研究探讨了父母的质量，父母的行为和儿童的气质在6个月的年龄预测儿童的创作的想象中的同伴（IC）在44个月的年龄。在六个月时，父母的养育质量和父母的行为进行了测量，使用亲子早期关系评估，并记录在母婴互动过程中的精神状态参考的频率。气质采用修订的婴儿气质问卷进行评估。然后，父母完成问卷调查，评估他们的孩子是否在44个月大时患有IC。结果发现，只有气质的接近特征对儿童的IC状态有一定的预测作用。父母的措施的结果表明，与IC的儿童的父母更有可能归因于他们的孩子的精神状态，并避免侵入他们的孩子的行为比没有IC的儿童的父母。结果表明，父母的行为对儿童创造的IC是重要的。
This longitudinal study examined whether parenting quality, parental behaviours and children's temperament at 6 months of age predicted children's creations of imaginary companions (ICs) at 44 months of age. At six months, parenting quality and parental behaviours were measured using the Parent-Child Early Relational Assessment, and the frequency of mental-state references made during mother-infant interactions was recorded. Temperament was assessed using the Revised Infant Temperament Questionnaire. Parents then completed questionnaires assessing whether their children had ICs at 44 months of age. The results revealed that only the approach characteristic of temperament marginally predicted children's IC status. Results of the parental measures showed that parents of children with ICs were more likely to attribute mental states to their child and to refrain from intruding in their child's behaviours than parents of children without ICs. The results indicated that parental behaviours are important for children's creation of ICs.
