“…The Sociodemographic Questionnaire-designed to collect data such as age, sex, income, marital status, course, and employment. The Philadelphia Mindfulness Scale (PHLMS)-developed by Cardaciotto et al (2008) and translated and adapted to the Brazilian Portuguese by Silveira, Castro, and Gomes (2012). It consists of a 5point Likert scale and 20 items, divided in two dimensions: "Acceptance" and "Awareness. "…”

Mindfulness-based interventions have been applied in diverse populations and achieved mental health benefits. This study examined the effects of a brief mindfulness program for emotional regulation and levels of mindfulness on senior students in Brazil. The intervention consisted of six weekly meetings attended by 30 participants. It is a pre-experimental research, with pre-and post-test comparative and correlation measurements. The preliminary results, which relied on parametrical and non-parametrical tests, revealed a reduction in total emotional regulation difficulties (p = 0.0001; r = − 0.55). Also, there was an increase in the levels of mindfulness in the subtests for both dimensions under evaluation: "Awareness" (p = 0.0001; d = 0.77) and "Acceptance" (p = 0.048; d = 0.37). By associating the amount of meditative practices performed by students with the variables, a significant positive correlation was found with the mindfulness dimension "Awareness" (r P = 0.422; p = 0.020), and there was a significant negative correlation with Difficulties in emotion regulation (r S = − 0.478; p = 0.008) and with its respective subscales "Nonacceptance" (r S = − 0.654; p = 0.0001) and "Clarity" (r S = − 0.463; p = 0.010). In conclusion, the application of a brief mindfulness-based intervention is promising in Brazilian university contexts; moreover, it can bring benefits to students, e.g., an increase in emotion regulation as well as in levels of mindfulness. We suggest that further research should use an experimental design and follow-up.

“…In Brazil, there are only two validated instruments to measure and assess the level of mindfulness, the Philadelphia Mindfulness Scale (Silveira, Castro & Gomes, 2012), and the Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire (Barros, Kozasa, Souza & Ronzani, 2014). However, the fi rst scale was adapted among people with high levels of schooling, which differs from the reality of the Brazilian population, and the second measures mindfulness in a multidimensional way.…”

Mindfulness is a skill that allows the practitioner to expand an existing space between stimulus and response, so he/she may make more conscious choices which in turn prevents the perpetuation of dysfunctional patterns of behaviors, contributing to the improvement of his/her well-being. The goal of this study was to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Brazilian version of the Mindful Attention Awareness Scale (MAAS) in a sample with 395 participants divided into smokers, people from the general population, college students and meditators. They answered the MAAS and the Psychological Well-Being Scale (PWBS). An exploratory factor analysis was conducted to test the factor structure of the MAAS. Internal consistency, test-retest reliability and split half were respectively assessed with Cronbach's α and correlation coeffi cients. Construct validity was examined by correlating the MAAS with psychological well-being. Criterion validity was assessed by comparing the meditators' scores on the MAAS with the scores of other participants. After the exploratory factor analysis, the Brazilian MAAS remained a unidimensional scale. Reliability [α = .83; split half = .67 and test-retest = .80 (p < .001)] and validity measures were adequate, except the criterion validity which was not confi rmed in the mentioned sample. Keywords: Mindfulness, MAAS, psychometry. ResumoMindfulness é uma habilidade que permite ao praticante a ampliação de um espaço existente entre um estímulo e a resposta, podendo o mesmo fazer escolhas mais conscientes e impedindo a perpetuação de padrões de comportamentos disfuncionais, contribuindo para a melhora de seu bem estar. Este estudo objetivou avaliar as propriedades psicométricas da versão brasileira da Mindful Attention Awareness Scale (MAAS). Participaram deste estudo 395 pessoas, divididos entre fumantes, comunidade geral, universitários e meditadores. Foi realizada análise fatorial exploratória para testar a estrutura fatorial da MAAS. A consistência interna foi testada através do alfa de Cronbach, além do teste-reteste e do método das metades, avaliados através de correlação. A validade de construto foi avaliada através da correlação entre a Escala de Bem Estar Subjetivo (EBES) e a MAAS. A validade de critério foi avaliada através da comparação dos escores dos meditadores e dos demais participantes na MAAS. Após a análise fatorial exploratória, a MAAS manteve-se uma escala unidimensional. As medidas de confi abilidade [α = 0,83; split half = 0,67 e teste reteste = 0,80 (p < 0,001)] e validade foram satisfatórias, exceto a validade de critério, não confi rmada nesta amostra.

“…The researcher followed the completion by video call (following the same scheme of simultaneity of the 100-min class), where each student assigned a score for the questions that classified his or her own degree of attention. The MAAS [37] and PMS [38] questionnaires and their scales were validated in the Portuguese-Brazilian language. The Toronto questionnaire [12] was translated by the researchers involved in this work due to its relevance in quantifying the degree of the students' full attention in the last moments of the class.…”

“…The second questionnaire is the SMP, which also assesses the quantification of the subject's full attention state [38]. The result of the SMP is also obtained by simple average of the score of the 20 questions, which can be between 1 and 5.…”

Purpose: This proof-of-concept study aimed to develop and evaluate the feasibility and preliminary efficiency of a methodology to measure the mindfulness state using a wearable device (“Cap”) capable of monitoring students’ levels of full attention by means of real-time measured heart rate variability (HRV). Methods: The device was developed to export the data to the user’s cell phone via Bluetooth, which in turn stores the securely accessible data in the cloud. The autonomous wearable device consists of electronic boards of the Arduino platform that, in addition to the HRV, detect the heartbeat, the external temperature of the skull surface, and head/neck movements. Results: Preliminary statistical data using rMSSD (root mean squared successive differences), the Poincare map, the Toronto Mindfulness Scale, the Mindful Attention Awareness Scale (MAAS) and the Philadelphia Mindfulness Scale (PMS) show that increased HRV values converge to high values for the mindfulness state when the time difference between R and RN+1 sample is greater than 88 ms. Conclusion: The device proved to be viable and potentially effective for measuring the state of mindfulness. Thus, further studies should be conducted to test it on a large scale as well as in real classroom situations.
