The Mindful Attention Awareness Scale (MAAS) is a valid and reliable tool for measuring mindfulness in people who have recovered from a first episode of psychosis. In a sample of 150 individuals, the scale showed a single-factor structure that remained stable over time, excellent internal consistency, and expected relationships with measures of well-being, depression, and positive symptoms. These psychometric properties match those found in other populations, supporting the MAAS's use for assessing present-moment attention and awareness in this group.
