In a non-clinical North American sample of 103 mothers and their 14- to…

Ronald, Angelica; Happe, Francesca; Hughes, Claire; Plomin, Robert – Social Development, 2005
Experimental research suggests the differentiation of "nice" and "nasty" theory of mind (ToM). Over 5000 parents from the Twins Early Development Study reported on nice (e.g., being considerate) and nasty (e.g., blaming others) behaviours following their twins' second, third, and fourth birthdays. Factor analyses yielded four factors and it was…
