Theory of mind development in context / edited by Virginia Slaughter, Marc de Rosnay. - London : Routledge, 2017. - 160 pages : illustrations (black and white) ; 24 cm

'Theory of Mind Development in Context' explores how children's environments shape their theory of mind and, in turn, their ability to interact effectively with others. Based on world-leading research, and inspired by the ground-breaking work of Candida Peterson, the original collected chapters demonstrate that children's understanding of other people is shaped by their everyday environment. Specifically, the chapters illustrate how theory of mind development varies with broad cultural context, socioeconomic status, institutional versus home rearing, family size, parental communication style, and aspects of schooling.
