Abstract
This thesis is presented in two parts: a meta-analysis and an empirical study. The aim of the research papers was to address the existing gaps in the literature related to mind-mindedness and its relationship with attachment security, and its potential to be impacted by sleep deprivation in new mothers.
The meta-analysis aimed to synthesise the literature on the relationship between mind-mindedness and attachment. Analysis found that there is a relationship between appropriate mind-mindedness and a more secure attachment. Conversely, non-attuned mind-mindedness has shown to be associated with more insecure attachment styles. Yet, no differences were found between the subgroups of insecure attachment. Subgroup analysis found no differences in assessment measure or gender.
The empirical study used a within subjects’ design to measure the relationship between sleep changes and mind-mindedness in new mothers. Non-attuned mind-mindedness was positively associated with an increase in wake after sleep onset.
