Abstract

Objectives: The Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire - Short Form (FFMQ-15) measures the tendency to be mindful and is proposed as an alternative to the original 39-item version. This study examines the psychometric properties of the FFMQ-15 in a clinical sample to provide further support for a short-form version.

Method: Participants (N = 244; M_age = 29.68) included in the study completed the FFMQ-39 and FFMQ-15, the Brief Experiential Avoidance Questionnaire (BEAQ), and the Adult ADHD Self-Report Scale - Part A (ASRS). A confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) examined the structure of the FFMQ-15.

Results: The FFMQ-15 demonstrates moderate to excellent internal consistency. The FFMQ-15 showed significant correlations in predicted directions with the FFMQ-39, the BEAQ, and the ASRS. The CFA supports a four-factor hierarchical model, excluding the Observing subscale.

Conclusion: Results indicate reasonable psychometric properties of the FFMQ-15 but suggest further examination of the Observing subscale.

调查五方面正念问卷的心理测量特性-简短形式。

目的：五方面正念问卷-简短形式（FFMQ-15）衡量正念倾向，并被提议作为原始39项版本的替代方案。本研究在临床样本中检验了FFMQ-15的心理测量特性，为简短版本提供进一步的支持。方法：纳入研究的参与者（N = 244；年龄= 29.68）完成了FFMQ-39和FFMQ-15、简易体验回避问卷（BEAQ）和成人ADHD自述量表A部分（ASRS）。验证性因子分析（CFA）检查了FFMQ-15的结构。结果：FFMQ-15具有中等至优异的内部一致性。FFMQ-15在预测方向上与FFMQ-39、BEAQ和ASRS呈显著相关。CFA支持一个四因素分层模型，不包括观察子量表。结论：结果表明FFMQ-15的心理测量特性是合理的，但建议进一步检查观察分量表。

期刊介绍： The Bulletin of the Menninger Clinic offers a psychodynamic perspective on the application of theory and research in outpatient psychotherapy, attachment theory, developments in cognitive neuroscience and psychopathologies, as well as the integration of different modes of therapy. This widely indexed, peer-reviewed journal has been published since 1936 by the Menninger Clinic. Topical issues focus on critical subjects such as disordered attachments, panic disorder, trauma, and evidence-based interventions.
