本文报告了关于父母反思功能问卷（PRFQ）的开发和验证的三项研究，这是一种简短的多维自我报告测量，用于评估父母的反思功能或心智化，即将婴儿视为心理主体的能力。研究 1 在 299 名 0-3 岁儿童母亲的社会多元化样本中调查了 PRFQ 的因素结构、可靠性以及 PRFQ 与人口特征、症状困扰、依恋维度和情感可用性的关系。在研究 2 中，以 153 名初为人父母的样本为样本，调查了母亲和父亲 PRFQ 的因子不变性，并调查了其与人口特征、症状困扰、依恋维度和养育压力的关系。研究 3 调查了 PRFQ 和婴儿依恋分类之间的关系，并通过陌生情境程序 (SSP) 对 136 名社区母亲及其婴儿进行了评估。探索性和验证性因素分析提出了三个理论上一致的因素，用于评估前心理化模式、婴儿心理状态的确定性以及对婴儿心理状态的兴趣和好奇心。这些因素通常以理论上预期的方式与 SSP 中的父母依恋维度、情感可用性、养育压力和婴儿依恋状态相关。但与此同时，还需要对 PRFQ 进行更多研究，以进一步确定其可靠性和有效性。
This paper reports on three studies on the development and validation of the Parental Reflective Functioning Questionnaire (PRFQ), a brief, multidimensional self-report measure that assesses parental reflective functioning or mentalizing, that is, the capacity to treat the infant as a psychological agent. Study 1 investigated the factor structure, reliability, and relationships of the PRFQ with demographic features, symptomatic distress, attachment dimensions, and emotional availability in a socially diverse sample of 299 mothers of a child aged 0–3. In Study 2, the factorial invariance of the PRFQ in mothers and fathers was investigated in a sample of 153 first-time parents, and relationships with demographic features, symptomatic distress, attachment dimensions, and parenting stress were investigated. Study 3 investigated the relationship between the PRFQ and infant attachment classification as assessed with the Strange Situation Procedure (SSP) in a sample of 136 community mothers and their infants. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses suggested three theoretically consistent factors assessing pre-mentalizing modes, certainty about the mental states of the infant, and interest and curiosity in the mental states of the infant. These factors were generally related in theoretically expected ways to parental attachment dimensions, emotional availability, parenting stress, and infant attachment status in the SSP. Yet, at the same time, more research on the PRFQ is needed to further establish its reliability and validity.
