Abstract

Mind-Mindedness reflects parents' capacity to treat their child as an individual with a mind of their own. Research is lacking on how Representational Mind-Mindedness (RMM) translates into observable parenting behaviours beyond infancy. The present study examined how RMM was associated with parents' Acknowledging Behaviour (AB) and use of Mental State Talk (MST), and whether these associations were moderated by parents' educational level. The sample consisted of 133 Danish parents and their 6-year-old children, who were observed engaging in a challenging puzzle and in a shared reminiscing task during home visits. RMM was operationalized as parents' use of mental attributes when describing their child. There was no significant association between RMM and AB. RMM was significantly associated with MST, but only among parents with higher education level. The present study illuminates differences in how the representational measure of parents' mentalization capacity translates into observable parenting behaviors among early school-aged children.

表象心智如何转化为六岁孩子父母的可观察育儿行为？

心智反映了父母将孩子视为有自己思想的个体的能力。关于表象心智（RMM）如何转化为婴儿期之后可观察到的养育行为，目前还缺乏研究。本研究探讨了 RMM 与父母的认可行为（AB）和心理状态谈话（MST）的使用之间的关系，以及这些关系是否受父母教育水平的影响。样本由 133 位丹麦父母和他们 6 岁的孩子组成，在家访期间观察了他们参与高难度拼图和共同回忆任务的情况。RMM 是指父母在描述孩子时使用的心理属性。RMM 与 AB 之间无明显关联。RMM 与 MST 有明显相关性，但仅存在于教育水平较高的家长中。本研究揭示了父母心智化能力的表征测量如何转化为学龄前儿童可观察到的养育行为的差异。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
