Abstract

Parents’ language use is an important context for early socialization. We examined the relationship between parents’ self-reported mindfulness and observed language use in two forms of attachment-relevant communication. Sixty-three parents of 6–18-month-old infants from Australia (n = 32) and New Zealand (n = 31) completed the five facets of mindfulness-short form (FFMQ-SF) questionnaire, the adult attachment interview (AAI), and a 10-min play session with their infant. We examined parents’ frequency of word usage within the categories of the linguistic inquiry word count (LIWC) text analysis program to explore the relationship between mindfulness and language use. Mindfulness was associated with cognitive, affective, perceptual, and time orientation language use in the AAI. However, fewer associations were identified between mindfulness and language use in the parent-infant play session. Results are discussed in terms of their relevance to mindfulness and attachment.

研究父母自我报告的正念与观察到的依恋相关交流中的语言使用之间的关系。

父母的语言使用是早期社会化的重要背景。我们研究了在两种与依恋相关的交流形式中，父母自我报告的正念与观察到的语言使用之间的关系。来自澳大利亚（32 人）和新西兰（31 人）的 63 名 6-18 个月大婴儿的父母填写了正念五方面简表（FFMQ-SF）问卷、成人依恋访谈（AAI）以及与婴儿进行的 10 分钟游戏。我们研究了父母在语言调查字数统计（LIWC）文本分析程序类别中的用词频率，以探讨正念与语言使用之间的关系。在 AAI 中，正念与认知、情感、知觉和时间定向语言的使用有关。然而，在亲子游戏环节中，正念与语言使用之间的关联较少。本文从正念与依恋的相关性角度对研究结果进行了讨论。

期刊介绍： The Infant Mental Health Journal (IMHJ) is the official publication of the World Association for Infant Mental Health (WAIMH) and the Michigan Association for Infant Mental Health (MI-AIMH) and is copyrighted by MI-AIMH. The Infant Mental Health Journal publishes peer-reviewed research articles, literature reviews, program descriptions/evaluations, theoretical/conceptual papers and brief reports (clinical case studies and novel pilot studies) that focus on early social and emotional development and characteristics that influence social-emotional development from relationship-based perspectives. Examples of such influences include attachment relationships, early relationship development, caregiver-infant interactions, infant and early childhood mental health services, contextual and cultural influences on infant/toddler/child and family development, including parental/caregiver psychosocial characteristics and attachment history, prenatal experiences, and biological characteristics in interaction with relational environments that promote optimal social-emotional development or place it at higher risk. Research published in IMHJ focuses on the prenatal-age 5 period and employs relationship-based perspectives in key research questions and interpretation and implications of findings.
