	The aim of the study is to establish whether there exists a relationship between temperamental predispositions and the use of imagery, as well as to examine temperamental traits as predictors of imagery use in children practising various sports. The study involved 82 children (boys and girls) aged 7–11, as well as 82 parents. The participants filled in the Sport Imagery Questionnaire for Children (SIQ-C), in the Polish adaptation of D. Budnik-Przybylska and K. Karasiewicz, and the EAS Temperament Questionnaire by Arnold H. Buss and Robert Plomin (1984) in the Polish adaptation of Włodzimierz Oniszczenko. The research confirmed a significant relationship between temperamental traits and the use of imagery, as well as indicated temperamental predictors of the use of imagery in sport. The article presents the detailed results of the study.
