What is it about?

Mind-mindedness (MM) promotes children’s socio-cognitive skills and attachment, yet relatively less is known about the earliest precursors of MM. This longitudinal study examined the role of prenatal depression, alone and in combination with infant negative emotionality on MM. Findings suggest that MM has its origins in antenatal experiences, moderated by child characteristics.

Perspectives

Our findings suggest that MM has its origins in antenatal experiences, moderated by child characteristics, with implications for the relational nature of MM. Findings also have significance for early childhood professionals to facilitate MM among mothers with prenatal depression.
