1 INTRODUCTION Parental reflective functioning (PRF) is a crucial parental ability that allows a parent to understand and interpret behavioral cues from their child as manifestations of mental states (Luyten, Mayes, Nijssens, et al., 2017; Luyten, Nijssens, Fonagy, et al., 2017; Slade, 2005).

SYNOPSISObjective. Parental reflective functioning (PRF) consists of three dimensions using the Parental Reflective Functioning Questionnaire (PRFQ): Pre-Mentalizing Modes, Certainty about Mental States, and Interest and Curiosity. Different types of mentalization, such as genuine mentalization, hypomentalization, and hypermentalization, have been hypothesized yet rarely empirically examined.
