“…No significant gender differences were found by de Bruin et al (2014), Chiesi et al (2017), Cunha et al (2013), Kuby et al (2015), Saggino et al (2017), Vinas et al (2015), and in the original study by Greco et al (2011). On the contrary, several studies on the CAMM reported gender differences indicating lower mindfulness skills in females (Dion et al, 2018;Roux et al, 2019;Theofanous et al, 2020). Interestingly, Theofanous et al (2020) and Chiesi et al (2017) found the CAMM to be gender invariant, meaning that it measures the same construct in boys and girls.…”

These findings suggest that, if differences are found between girls and boys, they are not based on different understandings of the content of the CAMM.…”

“…The CAMM was validated in several different languages, e.g., in Dutch (de Bruin et al, 2014), in Catalan (Vinas et al, 2015), in Italian (Chiesi et al, 2017;Saggino et al, 2017), in French-Canadian (Dion et al, 2018), in French (Roux et al, 2019), in Spanish (García-Rubio et al, 2019;Guerra et al, 2019), in Portuguese (Cunha et al, 2013), in Greek (Theofanous et al, 2020), and in Persian (Mohsenabadi et al, 2020). Moreover, the CAMM was used in a number of further validation or mindfulness studies, e.g., the validation of the CAMM in a sample of minority adolescents from lowincome environments (Prenoveau et al, 2018), analyzing the role of mindfulness and emotional intelligence on emotional states (Mestre et al, 2019), investigating mindfulness in relation to gambling behavior (Pace et al, 2021), the relation of mindfulness and psychiatric symptoms (Pepping et al, 2016), as well as mindfulness and correlations with chronic pain (Waldron et al, 2018).…”

Psychometric Properties of a German Version of the Child and Adolescent Mindfulness Measure (CAMM) in a Community Sample

et al. 2022

Objectives Based on the current literature, mindfulness seems to have positive effects on mental and physical health not only in adults but also in children and adolescents. Research should further investigate these findings and needs properly validated measures. Therefore, the aim of the present study is to validate a German version of the Child and Adolescent Mindfulness Measure (CAMM). Methods A sample of 248 children and adolescents (10–19 years, M = 14.85, SD = 2.55, 58.87% females) filled in the CAMM, measures of self-compassion, internalizing (depression and anxiety) and externalizing (destructiveness and boundary violations) symptoms, and quality of life. A confirmatory factor analysis was conducted to test the original factor structure. Also, internal consistency, convergent validity, and possible gender and age group differences were examined. Results Results did not support the original one-factor structure of the CAMM with ten items but indicated a one-factor structure with seven items for the German version of the CAMM. Internal consistency was good with Cronbach’s α = .83 and McDonald’s ω = .85. Convergent validity of the seven-item scale was indicated by moderate correlations in expected directions with self-compassion, internalizing and externalizing symptoms, and quality of life. Conclusions The German seven-item version of the CAMM seems to be a promising tool to measure mindfulness in German-speaking children and adolescents.

“…The associations of sex and age with mindfulness appear to be inconclusive and perhaps have to do with specific aspects of mindfulness and is culture dependent (e.g. Theofanous et al, 2020). We did not collect socioeconomic information, which in previous studies showed some connection with low distress tolerance and potentially lower levels of mindfulness (see Hsu et al, 2013).…”

Are mindful people more risk‐averse? Effects of trait and state mindfulness on risk preference in decision‐making

T he current research investigated whether various aspects of mindfulness were differentially associated with risk preference in decision-making. In Studies 1 and 2, attention and present-focus aspects of trait mindfulness were associated with lower risk preference in making monetary gains. In Study 3, participants completed either a mindfulness training or listened to a comparable control recording. Compared to the control condition, subjects in the mindfulness condition were more risk-averse in making choices for monetary gains. The attention and present-focus aspects of state mindfulness mediated this connection. Study 4 introduced a loss framing, where attention and present-focus no longer associated with lower risk preference, but awareness and acceptance aspects of trait mindfulness associated with higher risk preference in avoiding monetary losses. The results suggest that different aspects of mindfulness have potential for mitigating risk preference, but such potential is limited depending on the framing of a decision context.

“…Previous research regarding the gender difference in mindfulness did not come to a consistent conclusion. Some researchers found no gender differences in mindfulness (e.g., Dhandra & Park, 2018; Hofmann et al, 2020), while others found that males had higher levels of mindfulness levels (Dion et al, 2018; Theofanous et al, 2020). Some researchers hold that because females are more likely to be entangled in their thoughts compared to males, females are less mindful than males (Hofmann et al, 2020).…”

Mindfulness and intimate relationship satisfaction in daily life: The role of empathy

et al. 2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This study examined the role of empathy in the relationship between mindfulness and intimate relationship satisfaction (IRS). Using ecological momentary assessment, 100 pairs of university students who were in relationships participated in the study. The participants were invited to complete a questionnaire measuring their current states of mindfulness, IRS, and empathy three times a day for 14 days. The results showed that empathy at the within‐person level played a mediating role in the relationship between acceptance and IRS. Empathy at the within‐person level also moderated the relationship between monitoring and IRS. Findings illustrated the vital role of empathy in an intimate relationship. Limitations of the study were discussed.
