Being Mindful About Overuse of Total Scores: a Comparison of Total Scores and Moderated Nonlinear Factor Analysis Scores in Assessing Mindfulness Across Race/Ethnicity, Age, and PTSD Diagnosis
Overview
This study compares total scores against moderated nonlinear factor analysis scores on the Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire to assess measurement invariance across race, age, and PTSD diagnosis. It identifies significant differential item functioning that affects how mindfulness factors are interpreted for Hispanic participants and those with PTSD. The resource is intended for researchers or clinicians interested in psychometric validation and statistical modeling of mindfulness assessments.
