Examining the factor structure of the 39-item and 15-item versions of the Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire before and after mindfulness-based cognitive therapy for people with recurrent depression.
Overview
This study examines the factor structure and psychometric properties of the 39-item and 15-item versions of the Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire before and after mindfulness-based cognitive therapy in adults with recurrent depression. Using confirmatory factor analysis, the authors found that a four-factor model excluding the 'observing' facet best fit pre-treatment data, while a five-factor model fit post-treatment data for both versions. The resource indicates that configural invariance was not supported across time points and suggests researchers consider excluding the Observing subscale when comparing scores before and after interventions.
