父母和孩子之间的社交互动对于心理理论的发展很重要，但这些互动可能会受到邻近家庭环境的干扰。目前的研究以母亲及其 3.5 岁双胞胎（N = 250 名儿童）为样本，观察了母亲敏感性及其与儿童心理理论和居住环境（以杂乱和拥挤为指标）的关系。母亲的敏感性和居住环境是根据实验者的报告来测量的，儿童的心理理论是通过行为任务来测量的。结果表明，母亲敏感性与儿童心理理论之间的关联受到住房环境的调节，其中母亲敏感性与儿童心理理论之间的正相关仅在住房环境中杂乱和拥挤程度较低的情况下观察到。讨论了其他上下文变量和过程。
Social interactions between parents and children are important for developing theory of mind, but these may be disrupted by aspects of the proximal home environment. The current study observed maternal sensitivity and its associations with child theory of mind and the housing environment (index by clutter and crowding) in a sample of mothers and their 3.5‐year‐old twins (N= 250 children). Maternal sensitivity and housing environment were measured from experimenter report and child theory of mind was measured through behavioural tasks. Results show that the association between maternal sensitivity and child theory of mind was moderated by the housing environment, where the positive associations between maternal sensitivity and child theory of mind were only observed at lower levels of clutter and crowding in the housing environment. Additional contextual variables and processes are discussed.
