Mindfulness, Work Climate, and Psychological Need Satisfaction in Employee Well-being (2015, unknown): “It is also relevant to note that other scholars define and measure mindfulness differently than how we assessed it in this study (Dimidjian and Linehan 2003; Grossman 2011; Hayes and Wilson 2003).”
McDonaldizing Spirituality (2017, methodology): “Since the exponential development of the mindfulness industry, Grossman (2011) has been forceful in his criticisms of mindfulness measurement scales, particularly those relying upon self-reports by MBI course participants.”
Out of the armchair and into the streets: Measuring mindfulness advances knowledge and improves interventions: Reply to Grossman (2011). (2011, background): “Criterion Validity Grossman (2011) argued that the MAAS lacks appropriate criterion validity, as it has not been shown to predict behavioral outcomes.”
Conceptual and Methodological Issues in Research on Mindfulness and Meditation (2015, background): “, 2007) and the problems in the measurement of mindfulness (Brown, West, Loverich, & Biegel, 2011; Grossman, 2011) have appeared in the past 7 years, but a comprehensive overview of methodological issues in this area has been lacking.”
Mindfulness Interventions. (2017, unknown): “…(e.g., self-reporting is subject to socially desirable responding and retrospective reporting biases, it is difﬁcult to know how attentive and aware one is on a daily basis, the meaning of self-reported mindfulness can change with more formal mind-fulness training experiences) (Grossman 2011).”
The Assessment of Mindfulness with Self-Report Measures: Existing Scales and Open Issues (2013, background): “Moreover, Grossman (2011) suggested that a certain degree of mindfulness may be a prerequisite for identifying own states of mindfulness (resp. mindlessness), and thus for meaningfully responding to mindfulness items.”
A preliminary investigation of the role of psychological inflexibility in academic procrastination (2014, background): “One possibility for the lack of association on both of these subscales is the nuanced interpretation of observation and awareness, which can have different meanings to individuals who are not familiar with the type of attention fostered in mindfulness practices (Grossman, 2011).”
Leader Mindfulness and Employee Performance: A Sequential Mediation Model of LMX Quality, Interpersonal Justice, and Employee Stress (2018, unknown): “More fundamentally, some researchers have raised doubts about the possibility of assessing mindfulness through selfreport scales such as the MAAS, as we did in the current study (Grossman 2008, 2011).”
Mindfulness: Awareness Informed by an Embodied Ethic (2014, unknown): “” Given the diversity of origins and often lack of familiarity with non-Western, Buddhist concepts in which mindfulness is embedded and constituted, it should not be surprising that definitions and applications continue to expand toward varieties of meaning only sometimes even partially overlapping ”
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).”
The Way Forward in Mindfulness and Sustainability: a Critical Review and Research Agenda (2020, background): “Some publications already discuss a long list of methodological challenges inherent to the research of mindfulness (Grossman 2011; Creswell 2017; Goldberg et al. 2017; Goleman and Davidson 2017; Van Dam et al. 2018).”
A mindfulness intervention promoting work–life balance: How segmentation preference affects changes in detachment, well‐being, and work–life balance (2021, background): “…intervention studies in the work context (H€ulsheger et al., 2013, 2015; Kiburz et al., 2017) and recommended as a manipulation check in intervention studies (Jamieson & Tuckey, 2017), but it is increasingly criticized for measuring only present-centred attention awareness (e.g., Grossman, 2011).”
