Maternal mind-mindedness in early childhood as a predictor of mental health outcomes in early adulthood

This project uses long-term longitudinal data to investigate whether maternal mind-mindedness in the first three years of life predicts mental health outcomes in early adulthood. The sample of families varied widely in socio-economic status (SES), and SES is expected to play a moderating role in the longitudinal association between mind-mindedness and mental health outcomes. The project also explores the role of adverse life events in developmental pathways to mental health in early adulthood.
