We examined the links between mothers' prenatal attachment dimensions, parental mentalization and mother-infant relational patterns. The sample consisted of 68 mother-infant dyads. During pregnancy, mothers reported on attachment-related anxiety and avoidance. When the infants were three months old, the mothers' parental reflective functioning (PRF) was assessed via the PDI-R2-S interview. Mothers-infant free play interactions were coded for maternal sensitivity and dyadic reciprocity and mothers' utterances were coded for appropriate and non-attuned mind-mindedness (MM). Prenatal attachment anxiety was associated with less appropriate MM. Appropriate MM was associated with maternal sensitivity and mother-infant dyadic reciprocity. The models predicting maternal sensitivity and dyadic reciprocity from dimensions of the mothers' prenatal anxiety/avoidance attachment, mediated by their PRF, appropriate and non-attuned MM, were significant. Univariate analyses revealed a significant direct link only between appropriate MM and mother-infant dyadic reciprocity. We discuss these results as well as the differences between the PRF and MM constructs.
我们研究了母亲产前依恋维度、父母心智化与母婴关系模式之间的联系。样本包括68对母婴二元组。在孕期，母亲们报告了与依恋相关的焦虑和回避情况。当婴儿三个月大时，通过PDI-R2-S访谈评估母亲的父母反思功能（PRF）。对母婴自由玩耍互动进行编码，以评估母亲的敏感性和二元互动性，并对母亲的话语进行编码，以评估恰当和不恰当的心智化（MM）。产前依恋焦虑与不太恰当的MM相关。恰当的MM与母亲的敏感性和母婴二元互动性相关。由母亲的PRF、恰当和不恰当的MM介导的，从母亲产前焦虑/回避依恋维度预测母亲敏感性和二元互动性的模型具有显著性。单变量分析仅揭示了恰当的MM与母婴二元互动性之间存在显著的直接联系。我们讨论了这些结果以及PRF和MM结构之间的差异。
