“…The original version of the FFMQ has shown good psychometric properties (Baer et al 2006;Baer et al 2008), and the Swedish translation of the FFMQ (Lilja et al 2009) has shown similar results. Cronbach's alpha coefficients for the Swedish version of the FFMQ total scale and its' five subscales ranged from 0.80 to 0.92 (Lilja et al 2009). In this study, Cronbach's alpha coefficients ranged from 0.80 (Nonreactivity to inner experience) to 0.88 (Describe).…”

A well established notion in Buddhist literature is that meditation practice improves the ability to be mindful in daily life which in turn promotes psychological wellbeing. In order to test this hypothesis the relations between meditation experience, five mindfulness facets and psychological well-being were studied in a sample consisting of Buddhist meditators, Western mindfulness meditators and non-meditators. The meditators scored higher than nonmeditators on all mindfulness facets except Describe, but when age and gender were controlled for there were significant differences only on Non-React and Observe.Multiple and simple mediation were tested in a path model framework. Length of meditation experience was related to Non-React and Observe, and there was a similar trend also for Non-Judge, suggesting that these mindfulness facets are the ones most strongly associated with mindfulness meditation practice. The multiple mediation analysis showed an indirect effect of meditation experience on psychological wellbeing via the five mindfulness facets. Simple mediation analyses indicated that Non-React was the primary mediator. These results support the notion that length of meditation experience is related to higher levels of mindfulness, which in turn is associated with improved well-being.

“…Higher scores on each subscale indicate higher levels of each facet of trait mindfulness. The FFMQ has demonstrated good internal consistency in previous young adult samples (Cronbach's a ranging from .79 to .93; Caldwell, Harrison, Adams, Quin, & Greeson, 2010), as well as good construct validity across several studies (Baer et al, 2008;Heeren, Douilliez, Peschard, Debrauwere, & Philippot, 2011;Lilja et al, 2011;Van Dam, Earleywine, & Danoff-Burg, 2009).

The purpose of the present study was to examine the links among the five facets of trait mindfulness, sexual satisfaction, and relationship satisfaction in dating relationships. Three hundred and twenty-two individuals in a current dating relationship completed measures of trait mindfulness, sexual satisfaction, and relationship satisfaction. Results of path analyses indicated that sexual satisfaction fully mediated the associations between the Observing (PE D .08, CI D [.02, .15]) and Nonjudging of Inner Experience (PE D .11, CI D [.03, .19]) facets of mindfulness and relationship satisfaction. In contrast, the three remaining facets of mindfulness (Describing, Acting with Awareness, and Nonreactivity to Inner Experience) were not related to sexual satisfaction or relationship satisfaction. These results suggest that attending to and noticing (but refraining from evaluating) internal and external stimuli may contribute to greater relationship satisfaction specifically by increasing sexual satisfaction with one's partner. Furthermore, findings from the current study provide empirical support for the link between mindfulness and sexual satisfaction in dating relationships and suggest that they may jointly contribute to relationship satisfaction, thus indicating an important area for future research and suggesting a potential target for relationship education and intervention efforts.

“…Baer et al 35 reported adequate to good internal consistencies (ranging from .72 to .92) for each of the scales. The FFMQ has been validated in several countries, [35][36][37][38][39][40] including Norway 41 In this study Cronbach's alpha was .81 for the disaster-exposed group, .66 for the control group, and .75 for the total group.…”

Mindfulness involves various attention skills, including the ability to sustain and focus attention. We investigated the association between trait mindfulness and errors of omission and commission in a sustained attention task in individuals who had been exposed to the trauma of a natural disaster. A positive association between mindfulness and sustained attention was hypothesized. A disaster-exposed group (n=25) consisting of Norwegian tourists who survived the 2004 Southeast Asian tsunami in a location with high mortality rates was recruited. A control group (n=24) matched for gender, age and educational level was included in the study. Trait mindfulness and sustained attention were measured with the Five-Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire (FFMQ) and the Conner's Continuous Performance Test (CPT II) respectively. In the disaster-exposed group but not in the control group, there was a significant negative association between mindfulness and number of commission errors that was observed with linear regression after adjustment for gender, age, years of education, depression, anxiety, intelligence quotient (IQ), and amount of post-traumatic stress symptoms. To examine the associations between the five factors of mindfulness: observing, describing, acting with awareness, nonjudging and non-reacting, and the number of CPT II omission and commission errors, linear regressions with adjustment for gender, age and years of education were applied. There was a significant negative association between number of commission errors and the describing factor of mindfulness in the disaster-exposed group, but not in the control group. There was a strong negative association between the factor of non-reacting and number of omission errors in the control group, and a weaker but still significant negative association between the factor of nonjudging and number of omission errors in the control group. There was also a strong positive association between number of commission errors and the observing factor of mindfulness in the control group. The study shows that the association between sustained attention and mindfulness and its different aspects may be affected by disaster exposure.
