Overview

Moderated mediation highlights the role of mind‐mindedness in parental distress and relationship quality.

Key Points

  • Parents of children with mental health issues reported higher parental distress and conflict.
  • Positive mind‐mindedness relates to less parental distress, mediated by conflict and closeness.
  • Negative mind‐mindedness directly affects parental distress without mediation through relationship quality.
  • Enhancing mind‐mindedness may alleviate distress and improve parent‐child relationships.
