“…IMS is comprised of 27 items divided into four dimensions: (1) Presence, (2) Awareness of Self and Others, (3) Nonjudgmental Acceptance, and (4) Nonreactivity. Preliminary studies supported its validity (Chalmers et al, 2021 ; Medvedev et al, 2020 ) and potential utility (Pratscher et al, 2018 ). These preliminary results are very encouraging.…”

Objectives Previously developed mindfulness measures focused on its intrapersonal dimensions and did not measure the interpersonal aspects of mindfulness. Furthermore, recently developed interpersonal mindfulness measures were either specific to a certain context (e.g., parenting, conjugal, teaching) or omitted/minimized the role of the body in the interpersonal dynamic. The proposed Interpersonal Mindfulness Questionnaire (IMQ) aims to operationalize the theoretical notion of embodied and embedded mindfulness by grounding it into four dimensions, each representing a set of skills that can be cultivated through training and practice: (1) Detachment from the Mind, (2) Body-Anchored Presence, (3) Attention to and Awareness of the Other Person, and (4) Mindful Responding. Methods The IMQ subscales were developed through consultations with a panel of eight graduate students and ten experts in the field. Three studies were conducted to evaluate the construct, internal consistency, reliability, convergent validity, and utility of the IMQ. Results Findings from the three studies supported the proposed four subscales of IMQ and suggested that these four subscales are independent and supported by convergent evidence. In addition, results suggested that IMQ subscales’ scores are sensitive to meditation experience and are associated with better intrapersonal and interpersonal outcomes. Conclusions IMQ subscales are valid and are consistent with the proposed embodied and embedded conception of interpersonal mindfulness. IMQ subscales are associated with intrapersonal mindfulness, but not strongly enough to be conceived as the same phenomenon. Limitations, as well as theoretical and practical implications of IMQ subscales, are thoroughly discussed.

“…The authors suggested that those who are highly mindful in interpersonal interactions are more likely to enjoy better quality friendships, whereas dispositional mindfulness was associated with positive emotional adjustment and similar markers of mental well-being instead of social adjustment. The IMS measure has undergone even further development in collaboration with the original scale developer (Chalmers et al, 2021; Medvedev et al, 2020). Taken together, past research has uncovered a unique role of interpersonal mindfulness, separate from dispositional mindfulness and self-compassion, for emerging adults’ social adjustment, whereby measures of interpersonal mindfulness and dispositional (i.e., intrapersonal trait) mindfulness each contribute uniquely only to emerging adults’ social versus emotional adjustment, respectively (Pratscher et al, 2019).…”

Experiencing mindful parenting has been positively associated with youth’s dispositional mindfulness and self-compassion, which in turn, relates to better emotional adjustment. However, mindful parenting could also relate to interpersonal mindfulness, which is another form of mindfulness that has had a unique relation with social adjustment. In this study, 458 emerging adults (age of 17–21 years) completed a survey to report their current experience of mindful parenting, dispositional mindfulness, self-compassion, interpersonal mindfulness, emotional (general well-being, social anxiety) and social adjustment (friendship quality, prosocial behavior, conflict negotiation). Regression models testing direct and indirect associations showed that mindful parenting was directly but also indirectly associated with emerging adults’ emotional adjustment via dispositional mindfulness and self-compassion (not interpersonal mindfulness), and indirectly associated with social adjustment via interpersonal mindfulness (not dispositional mindfulness or self-compassion). Findings have implications for theory and practice within the areas of mindfulness, parenting, and emerging adults’ emotion regulation and personal adjustment.
