The Chinese version of the Comprehensive Inventory of Mindfulness Experiences (CHIME-37) shows impressive reliability and validity as a mindfulness measurement tool. In a study involving 1,785 college students, it revealed an eight-factor structure that explained over 70% of variance. Internal consistency scores ranged from 0.848 to 0.914, while test-retest reliability was between 0.746 and 0.885. Positive correlations were found with well-being measures, while negative correlations appeared with mental health issues, confirming its effectiveness for assessing mindfulness in this population.
