Abstract
We studied the bidirectional relation between attachment and the two aspects of ToM. We found that mother’s affective ToM predicted child’s affective ToM. However, no significant relation was found in their cognitive ToM. Mother’s attachment predicts child’s affective ToM but mother’s ToM does not predict child’s attachment..
