Abstract

Highlights: [•] The nature of the mind-mindedness construct was investigated. [•] Adults’ mind-minded descriptions of significant others correlate positively. [•] Mind-minded descriptions of significant others are unrelated to those of famous people/paintings. [•] Mind-mindedness appears not to be a trait-like quality. [•] These findings may help inform our understanding of theory of mind in adulthood. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
