Title: | Mindful Attention and Awareness: Relationships with Psychopathology and Emotion Regulation | Authors: | Gregório, Sónia Pinto-Gouveia, José |
Keywords: | Adult; Attention; Awareness; Emotions; Factor Analysis, Statistical; Female; Humans; Male; Mental Disorders; Middle Aged; Personality; Portugal; Psychiatric Status Rating Scales; Psychometrics; Reproducibility of Results; Surveys and Questionnaires; Young Adult; Mindfulness | Issue Date: | 2013 | Serial title, monograph or event: | The Spanish Journal of Psychology | Volume: | 16 | Abstract: | The growing interest in mindfulness from the scientific community has originated several self-report measures of this psychological construct. The Mindful Attention and Awareness Scale (MAAS) is a self-report measure of mindfulness at a trait-level. This paper aims at exploring MAAS psychometric characteristics and validating it for the Portuguese population. The first two studies replicate some of the original author's statistical procedures in two different samples from the Portuguese general community population, in particular confirmatory factor analyses. Results from both analyses confirmed the scale single-factor structure and indicated a very good reliability. Moreover, cross-validation statistics showed that this single-factor structure is valid for different respondents from the general community population. In the third study the Portuguese version of the MAAS was found to have good convergent and discriminant validities. Overall the findings support the psychometric validity of the Portuguese version of MAAS and suggest this is a reliable self-report measure of trait-mindfulness, a central construct in Clinical Psychology research and intervention fields. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10316/47220 | DOI: | 10.1017/sjp.2013.79 | Rights: | embargoedAccess |
