- Comparing Self-Compassion, Mindfulness, and Psychological Inflexibility as Predictors of Psychological Health (2014, result): “Van Dam et al. (2011) compared a single-factor mindfulness measure (MAAS) and the total self-compassion score of the SCS in predicting symptom severity and quality of life in a sample diagnosed with mixed anxiety and depression.”
- Relating Mindfulness, Heartfulness, and Psychological Well-Being: the Role of Self-Compassion and Gratitude (2018, methodology): “Fourth, we used a measure of dispositional mindfulness—the MAAS—that raised serious concerns from both a theoretical and a methodological point of view (e.g., Grossman 2011; Van Dam et al. 2010).”
- Self-compassion is a better predictor than mindfulness of symptom severity and quality of life in mixed anxiety and depression. (2011, background): “Van Dam et al. / Journal of Anxiety Disorders 25 (2011) 123–130”
- Examining workplace mindfulness and its relations to job performance and turnover intention (2014, background): “For example, some of the items that comprise this scale permit very little differentiation across respondents (Van Dam et al., 2010) and some items may not be relevant to certain respondents or performance settings (e.g. ‘I drive places on “automatic pilot” and then wonder why I went there.’).”
- Mindfulness, by any other name…: trials and tribulations of sati in western psychology and science (2011, result): “Additionally, more recent analyses also go in the same direction by suggesting that the MAAS reflects the experience of general inattentiveness, not mindfulness (Van Dam, Earleywine and Borders 2010 ).”
