Discipline strategies yang diterapkan oleh ibu merupakan salah satu faktor penting dalam pemahaman theory of mind anak. Meskipun demikian, masih sangat sedikit penelitian yang mempelajari mengenai discipline strategies ibu dan theory of mind. Selain itu, penelitian sebelumnya hanya mengaitkan discipline strategies ibu dengan first-order theory of mind saja, dan belum ada yang mengaitkan dengan second-order theory of mind secara bersamaan. Padahal perkembangan pemahaman theory of mind pada anak memiliki dua tahapan, yaitu first-order dan second-order theory of mind. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengidentifikasi jenis discipline strategies yang digunakan oleh ibu, dan mempelajari kontribusi delapan jenis discipline strategies ibu terhadap first-order theory of mind dan second-order theory of mind pada anak usia 5 ndash; 6 tahun. Sebanyak 104 anak dan ibu mengikuti kegiatan penelitian ini. Pemahaman first-order dan second-order theory of mind anak diukur melalui 6 komponen theory of mind dengan metode tanya jawab, sedangkan penggunaan discipline strategies ibu diukur dengan kuesioner. Discipline strategies discuss dan boss yang digunakan oleh ibu memprediksi pemahaman first-order maupun second-order theory of mind anak. Di sisi lain, discipline strategies let rsquo;s child decide, how feel, silence, social norms, parent emotion dan persuasive tidak memberikan kontribusi yang signifikan terhadap pemahaman first-order maupun second-order theory of mind anak.
