In this study, the authors both developed and validated a self-report mindfulness measure, the Toronto Mindfulness Scale (TMS). In Study 1, participants were individuals with and without meditation experience. Results showed good internal consistency and two factors, Curiosity and Decentering. Most of the expected relationships with other constructs were as expected. The TMS scores increased with increasing mindfulness meditation experience. In Study 2, criterion and incremental validity of the TMS were investigated on a group of individuals participating in 8-week mindfulness-based stress reduction programs. Results showed that TMS scores increased following treatment, and Decentering scores predicted improvements in clinical outcome. Thus, the TMS is a promising measure of the mindfulness state with good psychometric properties and predictive of treatment outcome.
在本研究中，作者开发并验证了一种自我报告的正念测量工具——多伦多正念量表（TMS）。在研究1中，参与者包括有冥想经验和无冥想经验的个体。结果显示出良好的内部一致性以及两个因子，即好奇心和去中心化。与其他构念的大多数预期关系符合预期。TMS分数随着正念冥想经验的增加而升高。在研究2中，对一组参加为期8周的基于正念减压项目的个体，研究了TMS的效标效度和增量效度。结果显示，治疗后TMS分数升高，且去中心化分数预测了临床结果的改善。因此，TMS是一种很有前景的正念状态测量工具，具有良好的心理测量特性且能预测治疗结果。
