This study aimed to adapt the Multidimensional Assessment of Interoceptive Awareness (MAIA) questionnaire for younger respondents.
The language of the MAIA was revised and children aged 7-10 years (n = 212) and adolescents aged 11-17 years (n = 217) completed the questionnaire.
The original eight-factor model was tested for fit using confirmatory factor analysis. The model had an acceptable fit in the total sample and younger subsample and overall fit in the older subsample was adequate following modification. Internal consistency was good, except for the Noticing, Not-Distracting and Not-Worrying scales. Results also demonstrated a negative linear relationship between the trusting scale and age, suggesting that youths may lose trust in their body as they age.
The adapted MAIA can be used with a younger population and, depending on the research question, individual MAIA scales may be selected. The survey is available at https://osher.ucsf.edu/maia.
本研究旨在为年轻受访者改编多维内感受性意识评估问卷(MAIA)。
修订 MAIA 的语言,让 7-10 岁的儿童(n=212)和 11-17 岁的青少年(n=217)完成问卷。
使用验证性因子分析对原始的八因素模型进行拟合检验。在总样本和年轻子样本中,该模型拟合良好,在对年长子样本进行修正后,整体拟合度也足够。除了“Noticing(察觉)”“Not-Distracting(不分散注意力)”和“Not-Worrying(不担心)”这三个分量表外,内部一致性较好。结果还表明,信任分量表与年龄呈负线性关系,这表明随着年龄的增长,年轻人可能会对自己的身体失去信任。
改编后的 MAIA 可用于年轻人群,并且根据研究问题,可以选择个别 MAIA 分量表。该问卷可在 https://osher.ucsf.edu/maia 上获得。
