There is a lack of a valid and reliable measure assessing mindfulness in Pakistan. Hence, the goal of the current study was to translate and validate the Mindfulness Attention Awareness Scale (MAAS) in Urdu. Translation and validation of MAAS in adults residing in Rawalpindi/Islamabad, Pakistan (N=300) was done. The sample consisted of 300 adults, i.e., n=150 males and n=150 females, aged 18 to 74 years. The translation procedure followed the guidelines provided by the WHO. Our study showed that the reliability of MAAS for Pakistani adults was .86. Confirmatory factor analysis supported the overall factor structure of the scale but factor loadings for items 4 and 5 were relatively low, indicating a low level of self-care and experiential awareness in Pakistani people. Further research will be necessary to confirm the factor structure of MAAS (Urdu) translation in Pakistan. Our findings broadly supported MAAS as a valid and reliable measure for mindfulness in Pakistan, hence making it available for clinicians and researchers in the field.
