Interest in studying the relative contributions of verbal (e.g., maternal mind-mindedness [MM]) and non-verbal dimensions (i.e., parental embodied mentalizing [PEM]) of parental mentalization to child socio-emotional development is relatively recent. To date, only one study has addressed this issue in relation to child attachment security, suggesting a complementary and unique contribution of each one. The purpose of the present study was to further examine the specific contribution of PEM to infant attachment security by considering MM. In addition, this study aimed to explore the mediating role of maternal sensitivity linking PEM, MM to infant attachment security within 110 mother-infant dyads at moderate psychosocial risk. The two dimensions of parental mentalization (PEM and MM) were assessed on the basis of observations made during a videorecorded sequence of mother-child interactions in a context of free play with and without toys when the infants were 8 months old. The Maternal Behavior Q-Sort was used to measure the mothers’ sensitivity in a natural setting based on observations of daily mother-child interactions, also when the infants were about 8 months old. Attachment security was measured using The Strange Situation Procedure at infant age 16 months. The results showed positive correlations between maternal sensitivity and both verbal and non-verbal measures of parental mentalization. The mediation analyses first revealed that PEM had a significant indirect effect on attachment security, with sensitivity being identified as a mediator in this association. No indirect effect linking MM and attachment security via sensitivity was observed. These results highlight the contribution of PEM to maternal sensitivity and show maternal sensitivity to be a factor that partly explains the influence of PEM on attachment security in children.

非语言和语言父母心理化作为婴儿依恋安全的预测因子:父母具体化心理化和思维意识的贡献以及母亲敏感性的中介作用

研究父母心智化的语言(例如,母亲心智 [MM])和非语言维度(即父母具体化心智化 [PEM])对儿童社会情感发展的相对贡献的兴趣是相对较新的。迄今为止,只有一项研究解决了与儿童依恋安全相关的这个问题,表明每个研究都具有互补性和独特性。本研究的目的是通过考虑 MM 进一步检查 PEM 对婴儿依恋安全的具体贡献。此外,本研究旨在探讨母亲敏感性在 110 名处于中等心理社会风险的母婴二人中将 PEM、MM 与婴儿依恋安全联系起来的中介作用。父母心智化的两个维度(PEM 和 MM)是根据在婴儿 8 个月大时在有和没有玩具的自由玩耍的背景下录制的母子互动序列中所做的观察进行的。母亲行为 Q-Sort 用于测量母亲在自然环境中的敏感度,该方法基于对日常母子互动的观察,包括婴儿大约 8 个月大时。依恋安全性是在 16 个月大的婴儿使用奇怪的情况程序测量的。结果表明,母亲的敏感性与父母心理化的语言和非语言措施之间存在正相关关系。中介分析首先表明 PEM 对依恋安全有显着的间接影响,敏感性被确定为这种关联的中介。没有观察到通过敏感性将 MM 和附件安全性联系起来的间接影响。这些结果突出了 PEM 对母亲敏感性的贡献,并表明母亲敏感性是部分解释 PEM 对儿童依恋安全影响的因素。
