Abstract

Objective

Psychological mindedness has been positively associated with psychological wellbeing and positive outcomes in psychological therapy. Valid and reliable measures of psychological mindedness are needed for accurate measurement of the construct. This paper is the first to provide a comprehensive review of existing measures of psychological mindedness.

Methods

The review protocol was pre-registered and systematic with methods reported according to PRISMA criteria. The quality of studies reporting on psychometric properties of measurement tools was evaluated against the COSMIN criteria.

Results

Twenty-three studies relating to six measures of psychological mindedness were included in the review. No measure demonstrated sufficient evidence when evaluated against all COSMIN measurement criteria. However, the Balanced Index of Psychological Mindedness (BIPM) demonstrated the most robust psychometric properties with sufficient evidence of structural validity and internal consistency demonstrated through studies of high quality.

Conclusions

Whilst the BIPM demonstrated the most robust measurement properties, further research is needed in relation to its content validity, cross-cultural validity, and responsiveness. The BIPM also does not incorporate ‘other-oriented’ psychological mindedness. Alternative measures such as the PMS and PMAP are available to measure psychological mindedness towards others but have less sufficient evidence of psychometric rigour.

期刊介绍： Clinical Psychology & Psychotherapy aims to keep clinical psychologists and psychotherapists up to date with new developments in their fields. The Journal will provide an integrative impetus both between theory and practice and between different orientations within clinical psychology and psychotherapy. Clinical Psychology & Psychotherapy will be a forum in which practitioners can present their wealth of expertise and innovations in order to make these available to a wider audience. Equally, the Journal will contain reports from researchers who want to address a larger clinical audience with clinically relevant issues and clinically valid research.
