“…Despite the nascent stage of research on MM and personality, emerging evidence suggests that this meditative practice may significantly mold individuals' personality and self-concept towards healthier profiles. Yekta et al, (2022) [4] in their quasi-experimental study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) in enhancing marital satisfaction among married women in Tehran. Sixty women with moderate marital satisfaction participated in pre-test, posttest, and control group assessments.…”

This study examines the impact of mindfulness meditation on the self-concept of 30 married women from the Amroha district of Uttar Pradesh. Using the Self-concept Scale made by Rastogi the selfconcept was determined. The participants rated various dimensions of self-concept before and after a one-week mindfulness meditation training program. Results indicate significant improvements in Health and Sex Appropriateness, Abilities, Self-confidence, Self-acceptance, Worthiness, Present, Past and Future, and Beliefs and Convictions dimensions following the intervention. These findings suggest that mindfulness meditation holds promise as an effective intervention for enhancing self-concept and overall well-being in married women. Further research may explore long-term effects and generalizability to diverse populations.

“…Overall, the concepts of mindfulness and interpersonal mindfulness reflect different characteristics [ 20 , 21 , 29 – 32 ], and appear to involve different constructs [ 20 , 30 ]. Although a growing amount of research has investigated the effects of mindfulness on interpersonal relationships (e.g., parent-child [ 33 ], teacher-student [ 31 ], friendship [ 21 ], and marital [ 34 ] relationships), and despite evidence on the value of considering mindfulness in social contexts, research was slow to develop and apply measures that specifically capture the construct of interpersonal mindfulness. Yet, there are very few valid and reliable measurement instruments that specifically cater for interpersonal mindfulness [ 35 ].…”

Background There is a lack of measures and data on interpersonal mindfulness from non-Western cultures, which can hinder advances in our understanding of the construct, its conceptual representation, and its effects on human connection and relationships within different cultural settings. To fill this gap and help spark future research in this area in the Arab world, the current study aimed to examine the psychometric properties of an Arabic translation of the 27-item and the 13-item versions of the interpersonal Mindfulness Scale (IMS) in a sample of Arabic-speaking adolescents from the general population. Methods A web-based survey was conducted in a sample of 527 Lebanese community adolescents (Mean age = 15.73 ± 1.81 years; 56% females). The IMS was translated from English into Arabic using the forward-backward translation method. Participants completed the long and short forms of the IMS, as well as the Buss–Perry Aggression Questionnaire-Short Form (BPAQ-SF), and the 5-item Brief Irritability Test. Results Confirmatory factor analyses provided support to the four-factor structure of both the 27-item and the 13-item IMS (i.e., Presence, Awareness of Self and Others, Nonjudgmental Acceptance, and Nonreactivity). The original and the short form versions of the IMS yielded excellent internal consistency in our sample, with a Cronbach’s α coefficients of 0.95 and 0.90, and McDonald’s omega coefficients of 0.95 and 0.90, respectively. Multigroup comparisons suggested the factorial invariance of the Arabic 27-item and 13-item IMS between male and female participants at the metric, configural, and scalar levels. Finally, the concurrent validity of both full-length and short form of the IMS appeared to be good and comparable, as attested by patterns of correlations in expected directions with outcome variables (i.e., aggression, anger, hostility, and irritability). Conclusion The present findings provide support for the good psychometric qualities of the Arabic translation of the IMS in both long and short forms, suggesting that these scales are suitable for use to measure interpersonal mindfulness in Arabic-speaking youth, at least in Lebanon. We expect that the IMS, in particular its shortest form, will prompt more systematic investigation of interpersonal mindfulness in the Arabic-speaking populations, especially with regard to enhancing healthy communications with others and building effective social relationships.

“…They also add that individuals with high levels of mindfulness are better equipped to experience positive atmospheres, openness, and acceptance of different perspectives from their partners. Regarding marital satisfaction, Yekta et al (2022) explain that mindfulness plays a crucial role in enhancing relationship satisfaction. Mindfulness enables individuals to accept their partner's shortcomings, which in turn contributes to happiness and reduces conflicts within the marriage (Simou & Moraitou, 2018).…”

Housewives are frequently burdened with numerous roles and responsibilities, occasionally contending with domestic conflicts that impact their level of marital satisfaction. The purpose of this study was to find out the role of mindfulness and assertiveness in the marital satisfaction of housewives who do not have a job. This research was a quantitative survey research on 262 unemployed housewives. Participants were selected using purposive sampling. Three scales were used to collect data the Marital Satisfaction Scale, the Mindfulness Scale, and the Assertiveness Scale. Data for hypothesis testing were analyzed using multiple regression. The results revealed that mindfulness and assertiveness have a positive and significant role in affecting housewives’ marital satisfaction at 29.4 percent. The implication of this study is that improving mindfulness and assertiveness among housewives, particularly those who prioritize household responsibilities and do not work, can positively influence marital satisfaction.
