这篇文章考察了在成人和青少年母亲的心理素质，使用适当性的评估和情感价的母亲心理相关的评论，而与他们的婴儿互动。29名成年母亲和69名青春期母亲带着她们18个月大的婴儿参加了两项评估。结果表明，成年母亲在与孩子互动时使用更多与心理相关的评论，特别是涉及婴儿心理状态的评论。成年母亲也会使用更恰当和积极的心理相关评论。家庭观察和陌生情境评估显示，成年母亲的心智倾向有两个维度与母亲敏感性相关，三个维度与婴儿依恋相关，而青春期母亲的心智倾向只有一个维度与母亲敏感性相关。
This article examines the quality of maternal mind-mindedness among adult and adolescent mothers, using an assessment of the appropriateness and emotional valence of maternal mind-related comments while interacting with their infants. Twenty-nine adult mothers and 69 adolescent mothers participated in two assessments with their 18-month-old infants. Results showed that adult mothers used more mind-related comments when interacting with their child, especially comments referring to infant mental states. Adult mothers also used more appropriate and positive mind-related comments. Home observations and strange situation assessments revealed that two dimensions of mind-mindedness were associated with maternal sensitivity and three with infant attachment in adult mothers, whereas only one dimension was associated with maternal sensitivity in adolescent mothers.
