“…The MAAS scores were positively correlated (magnitude ¼ 0.23-0.39small-medium) with various constructs, which include positive affect, quality of life, life satisfaction, self-esteem, general health, happiness, and Five-facet Mindfulness (magnitude ¼ 0.31-0.81medium-large). It was negatively correlated with various constructs (magnitude ¼ 0.32-0.60medium-large) such as negative affect, perceived stress, depression, anxiety, anger burnout, impulsiveness, experiential avoidance, dissociative experience, rumination, and dysfunctional belief (Black et al, 2012;Brown and Ryan, 2003;Montes et al, 2013;Soler et al, 2012).…”

“…This is the component of mindfulness practice which is agreed upon by most scholars in mindfulness literature; hence the rationale of choosing the MAAS in this validation study. The MAAS has been validated in various populations: Swedish (Hansen et al, 2009), German , French (Jermann et al, 2009), Italian (Rabitti et al, 2013), Spanish (Soler et al, 2012), Turkish (Catak, 2012), American (MacKillop and Anderson, 2007), African American (Morgan et al, 2014), and Argentine (Montes et al, 2013). In Asia, it has been validated in China (Deng et al, 2012), Taiwan (Chang et al, 2011), and Africa (Levy et al, 2012).…”

Purpose The principles of mindfulness have been increasingly applied in medical education for stress reduction. One of the most often used measures for mindfulness research is the Mindful Attention Awareness Scale (MAAS). The purpose of this paper is to determine the factor structure, and investigate its reliability and validity in a sample of multi-ethnic medical students in Malaysia. Design/methodology/approach In total, 590 medical students were involved in the study. After minor modification of the MAAS, a test battery including sociodemographic information, the MAAS, Subjective Happiness Scale (SHS), Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS), Five-facet Mindfulness Questionnaire (FFMQ), Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale (DASS), and Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) was administered to the participants. Findings Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses supported a one-dimensional factor structure of the MAAS. Cronbach’s α coefficient of the scale was 0.92 and in a sub-sample (n=118), it showed satisfactory temporal stability in two weeks period. There were significant positive correlations with SHS, SWLS, and four subscales of FFMQ scores (convergent validity); and negative correlations (discriminant validity) with the DASS and PSS scores (p<0.05). In another sub-sample (n=52) who participated in a four-week mindfulness-based intervention, the scale showed significant change in scores (p=0.002). Originality/value The study provided preliminary results supporting the use of the MAAS as a valid, reliable and stable factor structure of mindfulness measure among medical students in Malaysia.

Foi objetivo do estudo reunir evidências de validade de estrutura interna e convergente da Escala de Consciência Plena no Trabalho. Participaram do estudo 383 trabalhadores, de ambos os sexos (65,7% do sexo feminino), com idades variando entre 18 e 70 anos (M = 34,5; DP = 11,7), que responderam à versão brasileira da escala e a instrumentos para avaliação de outros construtos. As análises fatoriais confirmatórias demonstraram a existência de sete itens concentrados em um único fator, com índice de consistência interna de 0,81. Na validação convergente, a escala correlacionou-se positiva e moderadamente com o engajamento laboral, a saúde mental e os afetos positivos dirigidos ao trabalho, e negativa e moderadamente com o neuroticismo. A escala apresentou, portanto, evidências de validade de estrutura interna, de precisão e de validade convergente, o que recomenda seu uso futuro em pesquisas e diagnósticos organizacionais sobre a consciência plena no trabalho.
