这篇文章比较了扩展的母性心智的描述性测量和原始测量。我们包括106位母亲在被要求谈论她们18个月大的孩子(55个男孩)时对描述的有效性和丰富性的评估，此外还评估了与精神相关的描述符的比例。与之前的发现相反，心理描述符的比例与母亲的敏感度无关。然而，扩展后的测量显示，积极的心态和母亲的敏感性之间，以及描述的丰富性和母亲的敏感性之间存在显著的正相关。然后，我们调查了积极母性思维的预测因素。母亲对过去依恋经历的心理状态，心理调整，以及对孩子气质的感知都被考虑在内。研究结果表明，依恋、心理状态和育儿压力是积极心态的独立预测因素。这些发现表明，精神状态不仅与父母的心理状态有关，还与当前与为人父母有关的因素有关。
This article compares an expanded descriptive measure of maternal mind-mindedness to the original measure. We included assessments of the valence and richness of descriptions given by 106 mothers when asked to talk about their 18-month-old child (55 boys), in addition to assessing the proportion of mind-related descriptors. Contrary to previous findings, the proportion of mental descriptors was not associated with maternal sensitivity. However, the expanded measure revealed a significant positive link between positive mind-mindedness and maternal sensitivity, and between richness of the description and maternal sensitivity. We then investigated predictors of positive maternal mind-mindedness. Maternal state of mind regarding past attachment experiences, psychological adjustment, and perception of the child's temperament were considered. The findings revealed that attachment state of mind and parenting stress constitute independent predictors of positive mind-mindedness. These findings suggest that mind-mindedness is associated not only with parental state of mind but also to current factors related to parenthood.
