Mind-body interventions are used to alleviate physical and psychological symptoms. The multidimensional assessment of interoceptive awareness (MAIA), which is used to self-report the effects of mind-body interventions, is not currently available in Chinese.
This study aimed to translate the MAIA from English into Chinese (MAIA-C) and to examine the psychometric properties of the MAIA-C.
This was a methodological study. The MAIA was translated forward and backward systematically, and content validity was assessed by a panel of experts. A convenience sample of adult participants with mind-body practice was recruited from social clubs in Taiwan. The MAIA-C was administered to study participants. Internal consistency and test-retest reliability were tested using Cronbach's alpha and intraclass correlation coefficient. Construct validity was assessed in two ways: using confirmatory factor analysis and using the differences between the known groups to divide the sample into two groups of highly experienced and less experienced participants.
The complete data for the 294 participants were analyzed. The eight-factor structure of the MAIA-C was confirmed. Cronbach's α was .91 overall and .46-.88 for the individual scales of the instrument. Intraclass correlation coefficient and composite reliability for the scales ranged from .60 to .85 and .55 to .87, respectively. The result of confirmatory factor analysis revealed a fair fit of the model to the data with a root mean square error of approximation of .076 and a comparative fit index of .95. Significant differences were found for the seven scales between the two groups.
CONCLUSIONS/IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE: The MAIA-C showed acceptable reliability and validity in psychometric testing. Therefore, this scale may be used in studies that assess interoceptive awareness in Chinese-speaking populations who are undergoing mind-body interventions.
身心干预用于缓解身体和心理症状。用于自我报告身心干预效果的内感受性觉知多维评估量表（MAIA）目前尚无中文版。
本研究旨在将MAIA从英文翻译成中文（MAIA-C），并检验MAIA-C的心理测量学特性。
这是一项方法学研究。对MAIA进行了系统的正向和反向翻译，并由专家小组评估内容效度。从台湾的社交俱乐部招募了有身心练习经验的成年参与者作为便利样本。对研究参与者施测MAIA-C。使用克朗巴哈系数和组内相关系数检验内部一致性和重测信度。通过两种方式评估结构效度：使用验证性因素分析，以及利用已知组间差异将样本分为经验丰富组和经验较少组。
对294名参与者的完整数据进行了分析。证实了MAIA-C的八因素结构。MAIA-C总体的克朗巴哈系数为0.91，各分量表的克朗巴哈系数在0.46至0.88之间。各分量表的组内相关系数和组合信度分别在0.60至0.85和0.55至0.87之间。验证性因素分析结果显示模型与数据拟合良好，近似均方根误差为0.076，比较拟合指数为0.95。两组在七个分量表上存在显著差异。
结论/实践意义：MAIA-C在心理测量测试中显示出可接受的信度和效度。因此，该量表可用于评估接受身心干预的华语人群内感受性觉知的研究。
