“…For example, Taylor and Carlson (1997) found that the presence of an IC related to superior performance on a battery of theory of mind (ToM) tasks. Hoff (2005) reported that 10‐year‐olds with ICs scored more highly on two measures of creativity than their peers without ICs. Typically, ICs begin to drop out of children's imaginative lives in middle childhood, although Taylor, Carlson, Maring, Gerow, and Charley (2004) reported continued engagement with ICs among children aged 7, and ICs are also reported in adolescence (Seiffge‐Krenke, 2001).…”

“…Paracosms can be understood as persistent and consistent evocations of imagined places, sometimes inhabited by imaginary friends and creatures -e.g. an imaginary game played over and over by young children that becomes more intricate as details develop through play (Cohen, 1993;Hoff, 2005).…”

“…Ponekad su izmišlje-ni prijatelji ljudskih karakteristika (23), ali javljaju se i oni životinjskog oblika (18) neovisno o dobi javljanja (21). Druga pak istraživanja ukazuju da pojava izmišljenih prijatelja i psihopatologija nisu značajno povezane (12,14) te da čak izmišlje-ni prijatelji mogu imati važnu ulogu za mnoge pozitivne razvojne ishode (8,10,18,(28)(29)(30).…”

Pitanje emocionalnih, socijalnih i kognitivnih razvojnih ishoda kod djece koja se uključuju u igru s izmišljenim prijateljima još je uvijek otvoreno. Stoga je cilj ovog istraživanja bio utvrditi učestalost i dob javljanja izmišljenih prijatelja te ispitati odnos između pojave izmišljenih prijatelja i socijalne kompetencije, internaliziranih i eksternaliziranih problema u ponašanju na uzorku djece predškolske dobi. U istraživanju je sudjelovalo 224 roditelja djece u dobi od 2 do 7 godina. Roditelji su, osim davanja podataka o izmišljenim prijateljima djece, procjenjivali socijalnu kompetentnost djeteta te internalizirane i eksternalizirane probleme u ponašanju. Rezultati pokazuju kako je 40,2% djece u uzorku imalo izmišljenog prijatelja pri čemu je najčešća dob javljanja bila treća godina života. Izmišljeni prijatelji su se češće javljali kod djevojčica, a većina je djece osmišljavala samo jednog prijatelja koji je bio prisutan nekoliko mjeseci. Za 31 % djece izmišljeni je prijatelj bio dobi podjednake njihovoj, dok je za 92 % dječaka te 49 % djevojčica izmišljeni prijatelj bio i istog spola. Djeca s izmišljenim prijateljima i bez njih imala su podjednaku razinu socijalne kompetencije, no ne i eksternaliziranih problema, koji su bili manje zastupljeni u djece s izmišljenim prijateljima. Negativni učinci izmišljenih prijatelja vidljivi su u djevojčica pa djevojčice s izmišljenim prijateljima imaju značajno više internaliziranih problema od ostatka uzorka. / The question of emotional, social and cognitive development outcomes in children involved
