Abstract
Parental mind-mindedness is defined as the caregivers’ tendency to treat their child as an individual with their own minds and is assessed by looking at the parents’ tendency to comment appropriately or non-attuned on their infant’s putative internal states during free-play interaction (Meins, 1997; Meins et al., 2013). Previous studies suggested a relation between parental mind-mindedness and various child outcomes (for review, see McMahon & Bernier, 2017). This study investigated whether parental mind-mindedness at 3 months (MM3) is associated with later behavior problems in children at 30 months and if this relation can be explained by the concurrent effect of mind-mindedness (MM30). The sample included 44 parent-infant dyads from the north of the Netherlands. Child internalizing and externalizing behavior problems were collected by parental report on the ‘Child Behavior Checklist preschool’ questionnaire (Verhulst & Koot, 1996). Parental mind-mindedness was measured in a subsample of the ´TRacking Individual Adolescents’ Lives Survey’ - Next generation´ (TRAILS-NEXT) study. Video-observations of the 10-minute free-play interaction were coded to assess the proportion of attuned and non-attuned mind-related comments. The hierarchical multiple regression analyses revealed a significant association between early non-attuned parental mind-mindedness and externalizing problems at 30 months, remaining significant even after accounting for the concurrent effect. No evidence was found for an association between parental mind-mindedness and internalizing behaviour. Future studies are recommended to include larger samples and account for dependent scores to gain a better understanding of the effects of parental mind-mindedness on the development of problem behaviour in children.
