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

Meditation, mindfulness, and executive control: The importance of emotional acceptance and brain-based performance monitoring
Rimma Teper,Michael Inzlicht +1 more
TL;DR: Mediation pathway models revealed that meditation practice relates to greater executive control and that this effect can be accounted for by heightened emotional acceptance, and to a lesser extent, increased brain-based performance monitoring.

TL;DR: Evidence is provided of the feasibility of MT in treating SUDs and suggests that MT may be efficacious in targeting stress, and reduced psychological and physiological indices of stress during provocation in MT compared to CBT.

Mindfulness and counseling self-efficacy: The mediating role of attention and empathy.
TL;DR: This paper examined the predictive relationship between mindfulness and counseling, self-efficacy and the potential mediating effects of attention and empathy and found that mindfulness may be an important variable in the development of key counselor preparation outcomes.

Mindfulness: a systematic review of instruments to measure an emergent patient-reported outcome (PRO).
TL;DR: Current mindfulness scales have important conceptual differences, and none can be strongly recommended based solely on superior psychometric properties, and investigators need to proceed cautiously before optimizing any mindfulness intervention based on the existing scales.

Psychometric Properties of the Five Facets Mindfulness Questionnaire (FFMQ) in a Meditating and a Non-meditating Sample
TL;DR: Overall, the Dutch FFMQ demonstrated favorable psychometric properties, commensurate with its (original) English language version, and the FFMQ-NL and its subscales were shown to have good internal consistencies.

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.
