Mediation analyses showed that, independent of verbal ability and social skills, sensitivity to criticism at Time 2 mediated the association between theory of mind at Time 1 and academic achievement at Time 3.About:

Promoting Mentalizing in Pupils by Acting on Teachers: Preliminary Italian Evidence of the "Thought in Mind" Project.
Annalisa Valle,Davide Massaro,Ilaria Castelli,Ilaria Castelli,Francesca Sangiuliano Intra,Elisabetta Lombardi,Edoardo Alfredo Bracaglia,Antonella Marchetti +7 more
TL;DR: The results showed that, although some measured components of mentalization progressed over time, only the TiM Project training group significantly improved in third order false belief understanding and changed - in a greater way compared to the control group – in two of the three components of the Mentalizing Task.

Longitudinal effects of theory of mind on later peer relations: the role of prosocial behavior.
TL;DR: Following children across the transition to primary school supported the authors' mediational hypothesis of indirect paths from early theory of mind to subsequently lower peer rejection and higher peer acceptance, via improvements in prosocial behavior.

Promoting theory of mind during middle childhood: a training program.
TL;DR: A conversation-based training program for 9- and 10-year-olds showed significantly greater gains in ToM than the control group; this contrast was stable over 2 months, and (in a subsample) the improvement was independent of any changes in executive functions.

Friendlessness and Theory of Mind: A Prospective Longitudinal Study
Elian Fink,Elian Fink,Sander Begeer,Sander Begeer,Candida C. Peterson,Virginia Slaughter,Marc de Rosnay +6 more
TL;DR: Extending previous evidence of ToM's predictive links with later social and cognitive outcomes, these results for mutual friendship suggest possible interventions to help reduce the lifelong mental health costs of chronic friendlessness.

The moderator–mediator variable distinction in social psychological research: Conceptual, strategic, and statistical considerations.
Reuben M. Baron,David A. Kenny +1 more
TL;DR: This article seeks to make theorists and researchers aware of the importance of not using the terms moderator and mediator interchangeably by carefully elaborating the many ways in which moderators and mediators differ, and delineates the conceptual and strategic implications of making use of such distinctions with regard to a wide range of phenomena.
Journal ArticleDOI
Asymptotic and resampling strategies for assessing and comparing indirect effects in multiple mediator models
TL;DR: An overview of simple and multiple mediation is provided and three approaches that can be used to investigate indirect processes, as well as methods for contrasting two or more mediators within a single model are explored.
Journal ArticleDOI
SPSS and SAS procedures for estimating indirect effects in simple mediation models.
TL;DR: It is argued the importance of directly testing the significance of indirect effects and provided SPSS and SAS macros that facilitate estimation of the indirect effect with a normal theory approach and a bootstrap approach to obtaining confidence intervals to enhance the frequency of formal mediation tests in the psychology literature.

Mediation in experimental and nonexperimental studies: New procedures and recommendations.
Patrick E. Shrout,Niall Bolger +1 more
TL;DR: Efron and Tibshirani as discussed by the authors used bootstrap tests to assess mediation, finding that the sampling distribution of the mediated effect is skewed away from 0, and they argued that R. M. Kenny's (1986) recommendation of first testing the X --> Y association for statistical significance should not be a requirement when there is a priori belief that the effect size is small or suppression is a possibility.

Reconsidering Baron and Kenny: Myths and Truths about Mediation Analysis
TL;DR: Baron and Kenny's procedure for determining if an independent variable affects a dependent variable through some mediator is so well known that it is used by authors and requested by reviewers almost reflexively.
