Abstract

This study examined the links between parent-child attachment security, early adolescents' theory of mind and early adolescents' forgiveness towards their mothers (N=91, M age=11.9). Our findings showed that early adolescents with greater mother-child attachment security and theory of mind abilities showed a greater propensity to forgive their mothers.
