TLDR
Mindfulness facets were shown to be differentially correlated in expected ways with several other constructs and to have incremental validity in the prediction of psychological symptoms.Abstract:
The authors examine the facet structure of mindfulness using five recently developed mindfulness questionnaires. Two large samples of undergraduate students completed mindfulness questionnaires and measures of other constructs. Psychometric properties of the mindfulness questionnaires were examined, including internal consistency and convergent and discriminant relationships with other variables. Factor analyses of the combined pool of items from the mindfulness questionnaires suggested that collectively they contain five clear, interpretable facets of mindfulness. Hierarchical confirmatory factor analyses suggested that at least four of the identified factors are components of an overall mindfulness construct and that the factor structure of mindfulness may vary with meditation experience. Mindfulness facets were shown to be differentially correlated in expected ways with several other constructs and to have incremental validity in the prediction of psychological symptoms. Findings suggest that conceptualizing mindfulness as a multifaceted construct is helpful in understanding its components and its relationships with other variables.read more

Mindfulness Practice Leads to Increases in Regional Brain Gray Matter Density
Britta K. Hölzel,James Carmody,Mark Vangel,Christina Congleton,Sita M. Yerramsetti,Tim Gard,Tim Gard,Sara W. Lazar +7 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that participation in MBSR is associated with changes in gray matter concentration in brain regions involved in learning and memory processes, emotion regulation, self-referential processing, and perspective taking.

Association of an Educational Program in Mindful Communication With Burnout, Empathy, and Attitudes Among Primary Care Physicians
Michael S. Krasner,Ronald M. Epstein,Howard Beckman,Anthony L. Suchman,Benjamin P. Chapman,Christopher J. Mooney,Timothy E. Quill +6 more
TL;DR: Participation in a mindful communication program was associated with short-term and sustained improvements in well-being and attitudes associated with patient-centered care, and these findings warrant randomized trials involving a variety of practicing physicians.

Mindfulness-based stress reduction for stress management in healthy people: A review and meta-analysis.
TL;DR: MBSR showed a nonspecific effect on stress reduction in comparison to an inactive control, both in reducing stress and in enhancing spirituality values, and a possible specific effect compared to an intervention designed to be structurally equivalent to the meditation program.

Mindfulness and Emotion Regulation: The Development and Initial Validation of the Cognitive and Affective Mindfulness Scale-Revised (CAMS-R)
Greg Feldman,Greg Feldman,Adele M. Hayes,Sameet Kumar,Jeffrey M. Greeson,Jeffrey M. Greeson,Jean-Philippe Laurenceau +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed a brief self-report measure of mindfulness with items that cover the breadth of the construct and that are written in everyday language, which demonstrated acceptable internal consistency and evidence of convergent and discriminant validity with concurrent measures of mindfulness, distress, well-being, emotion-regulation, and problem-solving approaches in three samples of university students.

TL;DR: A self-report mindfulness measure, the Toronto Mindfulness Scale (TMS), developed and validated is a promising measure of the mindfulness state with good psychometric properties and predictive of treatment outcome.

Alternative Ways of Assessing Model Fit
Michael W. Browne,Robert Cudeck +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, two types of error involved in fitting a model are considered, error of approximation and error of fit, where the first involves the fit of the model, and the second involves the model's shape.

Comparative fit indexes in structural models
TL;DR: A new coefficient is proposed to summarize the relative reduction in the noncentrality parameters of two nested models and two estimators of the coefficient yield new normed (CFI) and nonnormed (FI) fit indexes.

The Benefits of Being Present: Mindfulness and Its Role in Psychological Well-Being
TL;DR: Correlational, quasi-experimental, and laboratory studies show that the MAAS measures a unique quality of consciousness that is related to a variety of well-being constructs, that differentiates mindfulness practitioners from others, and that is associated with enhanced self-awareness.
