Time Flow Mindfulness Questionnaire (TFMQ) is a self-report rating scale designed to measure the emotional, cognitive, bodily, environmental, and action-related distractions that arise during three common phases of mindfulness meditation practice: the preliminary moments, during practice, and after practice. This 42-item rating scale is suitable for both novice and experienced adult practitioners, including those from the general population and workplace settings. The TFMQ assesses the multi-source and multi-temporal experiences of mindfulness and its benefits through the following first- and second-order factors: Practice (preliminary, during), Benefits (short-term, long-term), and Benefits at work. Its dimensionality was derived through exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses, demonstrating strong internal consistency within a sample of 141 mindfulness practitioners. The TFMQ has been validated across a few studies with diverse samples and designs (e.g., cross-sectional, cross-lagged), demonstrating acceptable validity and reliability. The TFMQ is a valid and reliable tool for assessing mindfulness experiences. It enables practitioners to gain deeper awareness of the various distractions that arise during different stages of mindfulness practice.

摘要

Time Flow Mindfulness Questionnaire (TFMQ) is a self-report rating scale designed to measure the emotional, cognitive, bodily, environmental, and action-related distractions that arise during three common phases of mindfulness meditation practice: the preliminary moments, during practice, and after practice. This 42-item rating scale is suitable for both novice and experienced adult practitioners, including those from the general population and workplace settings. The TFMQ assesses the multi-source and multi-temporal experiences of mindfulness and its benefits through the following first- and second-order factors: Practice (preliminary, during), Benefits (short-term, long-term), and Benefits at work. Its dimensionality was derived through exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses, demonstrating strong internal consistency within a sample of 141 mindfulness practitioners. The TFMQ has been validated across a few studies with diverse samples and designs (e.g., cross-sectional, cross-lagged), demonstrating acceptable validity and reliability. The TFMQ is a valid and reliable tool for assessing mindfulness experiences. It enables practitioners to gain deeper awareness of the various distractions that arise during different stages of mindfulness practice.
