What is the Mindful Attention Awareness Scale (MAAS)?
The MAAS is a self-report questionnaire designed to measure mindfulness, specifically focusing on the presence or absence of attention to and awareness of what is occurring in the present moment. It is a single-factor scale with 15 items that respondents rate based on their experience. Higher scores indicate higher levels of mindfulness. The scale is widely acknowledged for its reliability and validity in assessing mindfulness across different populations.
