The Kentucky Inventory of Mindfulness Skills (KIMS) is a well-validated multidimensional questionnaire measuring dimensions of mindfulness on four scales: Observing, Describing, Act With Awareness, and Accept Without Judgment. Even though the KIMS has been used in several clinical studies no information is available about the psychometric properties in different clinical samples. The present study includes two clinical samples: a German sample of people diagnosed with borderline personality disorder, posttraumatic stress disorder, or major depression and an English sample of people diagnosed with recurrent depression. Results of confirmatory factor analysis offer good support for the hypothesized model of four correlated factors, whereas the model of one general underlying mindfulness factor as a second order construct was not confirmed. Furthermore, our analyses revealed that the KIMS scales show high internal consistency and that all KIMS scales are sensitive to change in a subsample of participants taking part in Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy.
《肯塔基正念技能量表》（KIMS）是一种经过充分验证的多维问卷，可在四个量表上测量正念的维度：观察、描述、有意识地行动和不带评判地接受。尽管 KIMS 已在多项临床研究中使用，但关于其在不同临床样本中的心理测量特性尚无信息。本研究包括两个临床样本：一个是德国的样本，包括被诊断为边缘型人格障碍、创伤后应激障碍或重度抑郁症的人群；另一个是英国的样本，包括被诊断为复发性抑郁症的人群。验证性因子分析的结果为假设的四个相关因素模型提供了良好的支持，而一个通用的潜在正念因素作为二阶结构的模型则没有得到证实。此外，我们的分析表明，KIMS 量表具有较高的内部一致性，并且所有 KIMS 量表在参加正念认知疗法的参与者的一个子样本中都能敏感地反映出变化。
