: The five facets mindfulness questionnaire-short form (FFMQ-SF) is a new, brief measure for the assessment of mindfulness skills in clinical and nonclinical samples. The construct validity of the FFMQ-SF has not been previously assessed in community samples.: The present study investigated the factor structure of the Italian version of the FFMQ-SF.: Structured equation modeling was used to test the fit of three alternative models in a sample of highly educated adults ( = 211).: A hierarchical model with a single second-order factor loaded by observing, describing, and acting with awareness (i.e. the mindfulness "what" skills) performed slightly better than both a five-factor model with correlated factors and a hierarchical model with a general second-order factor. The FFMQ-SF scores were significantly higher than those reported in both Dutch depressed patients and Australian undergraduate students for all facets (but nonreactivity for the Australian sample).: Data support the multifaceted nature of mindfulness skills. Because of its brevity and simplicity of use, the FFMQ-SF is a promising questionnaire in longitudinal and clinical research. This questionnaire can serve as a guideline to help clinicians assess and monitor mindfulness skills acquisition, strengthening, and generalization, and prioritize mindfulness skills that need immediate attention.
五因素正念问卷-短式（FFMQ-SF）是一种新的、简短的评估临床和非临床样本中正念技能的工具。FFMQ-SF 的结构效度在社区样本中尚未得到评估。本研究旨在调查意大利版 FFMQ-SF 的结构。在一个高学历成年人样本（n=211）中，使用结构方程模型来测试三种替代模型的拟合情况。一个具有单一二阶因子的层次模型，该二阶因子由观察、描述和有意识地行动（即正念的“是什么”技能）加载，其拟合度略优于具有相关因子的五因素模型和具有一般二阶因子的层次模型。FFMQ-SF 得分在所有方面都显著高于荷兰抑郁症患者和澳大利亚本科生的得分（但澳大利亚样本的非反应性除外）。数据支持正念技能的多面性。由于其简洁性和易用性，FFMQ-SF 是纵向和临床研究中很有前途的问卷。该问卷可以作为指导，帮助临床医生评估和监测正念技能的获得、加强和泛化，并优先考虑需要立即关注的正念技能。
