What is it about?
The Mini-Maternal Behavior Q-Sort (Mini-MBQS) is a gold standard measure of parental sensitivity. We found two subscales of the Mini-MBQS and validated these subscales by testing associations with infant attachment. Infants with insecure and disorganized attachment had parents with lower sensitivity on both subscales.

Why is it important?
We provide an empirically derived factor structure for the Mini-MBQS. Its two subscales, each with significant infant attachment associations, may improve precision in clinical work and research translation.
