摘要

Objectives

This study developed and interethnically validated the Mindful Self-Care Scale (MSCS), revision (MSCS 2.0), by exploring the relationship between practiced mindfulness, assessed by the MSCS, and present-moment centeredness, measured by the Trait and State Mindful Awareness and Attention Scales (MAAS-T and MAAS-S).

Method

In this cross-sectional survey using a self-report sample of 10,257 participants, an ethnically-balanced sample (n = 5,242) was generated. The representative sample included American Indian (n = 90), Asian (n = 1,199), African American (n = 1,049), Latino (n = 1,009), White (n = 1,198), and other (n = 697).

Results

The eight-factor MSCS 2.0 met excellent fit criteria and showed strong relationships with Trait and State MAAS. Individually, each factor predicted present-moment centeredness. The bivariate correlations and structural relationships of the practiced mindfulness (MSCS) factors to state mindfulness was stronger than their relationships to trait mindfulness.

Conclusions

The revised eight-factor MSCS provided increased validity and widened factor scope in an ethnically-balanced sample. Increased mindful self-care behaviors resulted in elevated present-moment centeredness. Supportive structure, mindful awareness, self-compassion, and mind–body practice were the strongest predictors of present-moment centeredness. The remaining mindful self-care factors were all indirect predictors. The practice of mindful self-care facilitates more present moment engagement, as an achieved state. Future research should examine the frequency of practice required to bring about more persistent change at the trait level.
