Recent research has identified mothers' mental reflective functioning and verbal mind-minded comments as important predictors of subsequent infant attachment security. In the present study, we examine associations between mothers' (N = 95) parenting reflectivity expressed in an interview and observed parenting behavior, including verbal mind-minded comments and interactive behavior during interaction with their 7-month-old infants. Parenting reflectivity was coded from the Working Model of the Child Interview. Maternal behavior was assessed via observations of mother-infant interaction during free play and structured teaching tasks. Both maternal appropriate mind-minded comments as well as other indicators of maternal interactive behavior were coded. Parenting reflectivity was positively correlated with mind-minded comments and behavioral sensitivity. Hierarchical multiple regression analyses indicated that parenting reflectivity contributed to maternal behavior beyond the contributions of mothers' educational status and depression symptoms. Discussion emphasizes the importance of individual differences in parental capacity to accurately perceive and mentalize their infants' experience, and the consequences of these differences for caregiving behavior.
最近的研究已确定母亲的心理反思功能和言语的关注心理评论是随后婴儿依恋安全性的重要预测因素。在本研究中，我们考察了95位母亲在访谈中表达的育儿反思性与观察到的育儿行为之间的关联，包括言语的关注心理评论以及与7个月大婴儿互动时的互动行为。育儿反思性是根据儿童访谈工作模型进行编码的。通过观察自由玩耍和结构化教学任务期间的母婴互动来评估母亲的行为。对母亲恰当的关注心理评论以及母亲互动行为的其他指标都进行了编码。育儿反思性与关注心理评论和行为敏感性呈正相关。分层多元回归分析表明，育儿反思性对母亲行为的影响超出了母亲教育程度和抑郁症状的影响。讨论强调了父母准确感知和理解婴儿经历的能力存在个体差异的重要性，以及这些差异对养育行为的影响。
