It is a 12-item scale that measures everyday mindfulness and focuses on the degree to which respondents experience their thoughts and feelings (31). Items are rated on a 4-point Likert scale from 1 (rarely/not at all) to 4 (almost always). Scores on the scale are summed. Higher scores reflect greater mindfulness. Internal consistency across the 12 items was acceptable to good for two student samples (alpha = 0.74–0.80). The Italian version (32) showed four subscales with acceptable internal consistency including Attention (i.e., the ability to regulate attention), Present Focus (i.e., the orientation to present experience), Awareness (awareness of experience) and Acceptance (i.e., the attitude of acceptance or non-judgment toward experience).
