The relationship between the sensitivity and attachment o is the core of attachment theory. Perceptual sensitivity and mind-mindedness enriched the connotation of the sensitivity,exploring the relationship among them will help to the development of attachment theory and offer academic construction.In this paper,30 pairs of maternal and child were studied by using the Mother Behavior Q-set,mind-mindedness coding system,attachment Q-set to coding the home observation kinescope, and also we use signal detect theory to get the perceptual sensitivity data,and then we discuss the relation among perceptual sensitivity,sensitivity and mind-mindedness and its relationship with the attachment.The study found that acts of maternal sensitivity and mind-mindedness shows no significant gender differences,but the girls are more than boys;the mother who have the master's degree shows higher sensitivity and mind-mindedness,but no significant difference in other qualifications;In addition,the sensitivity and mind-mindedness are influenced by the nature of job,the mothers who were bom in the city shows higher sensitivity and mind-mindedness scores than those who come from countryside,but the differences are not significant.Mother's perceptual sensitivity to negative emotion was significantly higher than the positive emotion.Behavioral sensitivity,mind-mindedness,perceptual sensitivity, attachment variables are significantly related.We use the structural equation models and multinomial logistic regression to text the mediation and moderation among the variables.The results shows perceptual sensitivity and mind-mindedness can't predict attachment directly.The results confirmed that maternal sensitivity mediates the relation between perceptual sensitivity and infant attachment,at the same time,maternal sensitivity mediates the relation between mind-mindedness and infant attachment.Perceptual sensitivity moderated the mediating effect caused behavioral sensitivity.That is the relation between behavioral sensitivity and attachment is moderated by perceptual sensitivity.
