• Mindfulness and Inhibitory Control in Early Adolescence (2012, unknown): “Mindful attention and awareness is conceptually based on models of selfregulation theory (Brown & Ryan, 2003; MacKillop & Anderson, 2007); it is a state of consciousness that is characterized by self-awareness and focused attention to the present moment in an open and accepting state (Bishop et…”
• Assessment of Mindfulness (2009, background): “In recent investigations, the single-factor structure has been further validated in a population of cancer outpatients (Carlson & Brown, 2005), as well as in a large undergraduate student sample ( MacKillop & Anderson, 2007 ).”
• Mindfulness, coping self-efficacy and foreign language anxiety: a mediation analysis (2017, background): “…‘I find myself doing things without paying attention’ strong psychometric properties including convergent and divergent validity (Brown & Ryan, 2003), discriminant validity (Zvolensky et al., 2006) and internal validity and confirmatory factor analysis (MacKillop & Anderson, 2007) were determined.”
• Measuring mindfulness? An Item Response Theory analysis of the Mindful Attention Awareness Scale (2010, background): “The MAAS has a strongly supported unidimensional factor structure and good nomothetic span (e.g., Brown & Ryan, 2003; MacKillop & Anderson, 2007), making it a seemingly good candidate to represent mindfulness.”
• The Assessment of Mindfulness with Self-Report Measures: Existing Scales and Open Issues (2013, methodology): “Studies provided evidence for positive associations of meditation practice with MAAS, KIMS, FMI, FFMQ, and TMS (Baer et al. 2004, 2006, 2008; Brown and Ryan 2003; Walach et al. 2006) as well as for the absence of such relationships with MAAS, FFMQ, CAMS, MQ, and TMS (Baer et al. 2006, 2008; Carmody ”
• Validation of the Child and Adolescent Mindfulness Measure (CAMM) with Non-Clinical Adolescents (2015, background): “divergent validity (Brown and Ryan 2003; MacKillop and Anderson 2007).”
• Psychometric Properties of the Chinese Translation of the Mindful Attention Awareness Scale (MAAS) (2011, background): “The scale was originally validated among American college students and community adults (e.g., Brown and Ryan 2003; MacKillop and Anderson 2007), as well as individuals with cancer (Carlson and Brown 2005).”
• Self-Compassion and Dispositional Mindfulness Are Associated with Parenting Styles and Parenting Stress: the Mediating Role of Mindful Parenting (2016, background): “This instrument demonstrated good internal consistency across a wide range of samples (e.g., Brown and Ryan 2003; MacKillop and Anderson 2007).”
• Mindfulness at Work: Antecedents and Consequences of Employee Awareness and Absent-mindedness (2013, background): “…on awareness (absent-mindedness), some past research suggests that non-meditator may score at the same level on mindfulness scales as to experienced meditators, possibly because non-meditators may be less aware of their lack of mindfulness than meditators (e.g., MacKillop and Anderson 2007).”
• Trait Mindfulness in Relation to Emotional Self-Regulation and Executive Function (2014, background): “78 was yielded from a sample of 727 university students (MacKillop and Anderson 2007), which supports 620 Mindfulness (2014) 5:619–625”
