Research Abstract |
A mother whose child could respond properly to another individual's preference showed more imitative actions of him/her and utterances on his/her affective states during interaction with him/her than that whose child could not. These results suggested that parental imitative actions and utterances on child's mental states might facilitate the development of understanding others' minds. While in Japan a child whose mother was more tend to be disorganized type of attachment was slower in the development of understanding others' minds, in Sri Lanka vice versa. It is necessary to elucidate what cultural properties in care-giving give rise to such a difference between Japan and Sri Lanka.
