Abstract

Objectives

Based on current research, mindfulness interventions have a positive impact on both the mental and physical health of adults and adolescents. However, there is a growing need for additional research to develop properly validated measures. The objective of this study was to validate the Polish version of Child and Adolescent Mindfulness Measure (CAMM).

Methods

A sample of 325 adolescents aged 12–15 years (M = 13.39, SD = 1.05, 50% females) completed the Polish version of CAMM together with measures of mental well-being, psychological distress, psychological inflexibility and thought suppression. Factor structure using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), internal consistency and convergent validity of the CAMM were assessed.

Results

The results provide evidence for the original one-factor structure of the CAMM, with good internal consistency with Cronbach’s α = 0.92 and McDonald’s ω = 0.92. As predicted, CAMM scores correlated positively with mental well-being and negatively with psychological distress, psychological inflexibility and thought suppression.

Conclusions

The Polish 9-item version of CAMM shows good psychometric qualities, being a promising tool to measure mindfulness in Polish-speaking children and adolescents.
