Dispositional Mindfulness

Also known as: MAAS · Mindful attention · Everyday mindfulness

Mindfulness as a trait-like tendency to be attentive to and aware of present-moment experience in daily life. The construct is distinct from meditative practice: it captures the natural variation in everyday attention and awareness, with higher levels linked to greater well-being.
