چکیده

مقدمه و اهداف
هدف پژوهش حاضر مقایسه تحول نظریه ذهن در کودکان عادی و کم‏توانی‏ذهنی و تعیین ارتباط آن با سبک‏های دلبستگی و سلامت روان مادران بود.
مواد و روش­ ها
روش پژوهش توصیفی از نوع همبستگی و علی-مقایسه‏ای بود. نمونه شامل 74 کودک با کم­توانی ذهنی و 100 کودک عادی بود که با استفاده از روش نمونه‏گیری تمام­شماری و در دسترس در شهر بیرجند انتخاب شدند. مادران پرسش­نامه سلامت عمومی و پرسش­نامه سبک‏های دلبستگی بزرگسالان را تکمیل کردند، نظریه ذهن کودکان نیز از طریق آزمون نظریه ذهن ارزیابی شد.
یافته­ ها
نتایج پژوهش نشان داد که بین اکتساب نظریه ذهن در سطوح اول و دوم در کودکان عادی و کم‏توان ذهنی تفاوت معناداری وجود دارد (05/0P<)، اما در سطح سوم بین کودکان عادی و کم‏توان ذهنی تفاوت معناداری وجود ندارد (05/0<P). یافته‏های پژوهش حاضر همچنین نشان داد بین نظریه ذهن با سبک دلبستگی و سلامت روان رابطه‏ی معناداری وجود ندارد (05/0<P).
نتیجه­ گیری
می‏توان نتیجه گرفت بین عملکرد نظریه ذهن کودکان عادی و کم‏توان ذهنی تفاوت وجود دارد، اما بین سبک‏های دلبستگی و سلامت روان مادران با نظریه ذهن رابطه معناداری وجود ندارد.

چکیده [English]

Background and Aims: The aim of the present study was to compare the theory of mind in intellectually disabled and normal children and to determine the relationship between theory of mind and attachment style and mental health.
Materials and Methods The method of study was descriptive correlational and Ex post facto. The sample consisted of 74 children with intellectual disabilities and 100 normal children who were selected using census sampling and available sampling in Birjand city. Mothers completed General Health Questionnaire (GHQ) and Adult Attachment Style Questionnaire and the theory of mind in children was evaluated through the theory of mind Test.
Result: The results showed that there is a significant difference between children with intellectual disability and normal children in the first and second levels of acquisition of the theory of mind (p<0/05), but there is no significant difference between children with intellectual disability and normal children in the third level of acquisition of the theory of mind (p>0/05).
Conclusion: Also, the result showed that there is no significant relationship between theory of mind with attachment style and mental health (p>0/05). Therefore, it can be concluded that there is a significant difference between the acquisition of the theory of mind in children with intellectual disability and normal children, but there is no significant relationship between the theory of mind as well as attachment style and mental health in mothers.
