成人心智化能力与父母将孩子视为心理主体（心灵意识）之间关系的确切性质目前仍在争论中。虽然一些作者声称这是在不同上下文中表达的相同能力，但其他人则声称它们是不同的结构。这项研究考察了母亲和父亲的心智化和心灵意识之间的关系，同时调查了它们与社会人口、父母和儿童变量的潜在联系。参与者是 74 个家庭，包括母亲、父亲及其学龄前儿童。控制教育水平、精神病理症状和儿童报告的气质后，心智化和心灵意识之间的关系并不显着。此外，心智化和心灵意识被证明具有明显的相关性，支持了它们是两个不同结构的观点。
The precise nature of the relation between adult mentalizing abilities and parental representations of the child as a mental agent (mind-mindedness) is under current debate. While some authors state that it is the same competence expressed in different contexts, others assert that they are different constructs. This study examined the relation between mentalizing and mind-mindedness, in mothers and fathers, while investigating their potential links to socio-demographic, parental, and child variables. Participants were 74 families comprising of mother, father, and their preschool-aged child. Controlling for educational level, psychopathological symptoms, and children's reported temperament, the relation between mentalizing and mind-mindedness was non-significant. Moreover, mentalizing and mind-mindedness were shown to have distinct correlates, supporting the proposal that they are two distinct constructs.
