“…Regarding the fact that PRF fosters numerous children’s developmental outcomes, future studies on the PRFQ should include not only mothers’ data but also some child variables such as, e.g., attachment security [ 75 ], the capacity of affect regulation and psychosocial functioning [ 11 ], or children’s mentalizing capacity [ 9 ]. This would allow researchers to explore the validity of the PRFQ in more detail.…”

“…It is possible that, because many of the items on this subscale use negatively laden words (e.g., child embarrassing , annoying , or confusing the parent, parent finding play hard ), it may elicit a social desirability bias which affects reporting on some of the items. However, a range of studies have found acceptable internal consistency for this subscale (e.g., Álvarez et al., 2021; Anis et al., 2020; Ghanbari et al., 2022), so there is no clear consensus regarding the reliability and validity of the prementalizing modes subscale.…”

“…In the context of the parent-child relationship, parental mentalizing is defined as the parent's tendency to treat their child as a psychological agent with a mind of their own, that is, the parent's willingness to guess and envision what mental states may lie behind the child's immediate behavior [40,41]. Theory and empirical findings suggest that parental mentalizing is vital for a range of child psychosocial outcomes, such as the development of emotion regulation and emotion understanding in self, and others (e.g., [42][43][44][45][46][47][48]), executive functions, and language development [49]. It is assumed that mentalizing enables parents to provide a framework of presenting the child to internal experiences by "playing along" with the child's mental world [50,51] and that this process is fundamental for the child's emerging understanding of the representational nature of the external world [40,51].…”
