Mindful Attention Awareness Scale1.0.8

Answer a structured set of questions to gauge your mindful attention on a scale from 1 to 6. The Mindful Attention Awareness Scale examines how consistently your attention is directed toward present experience and what is happening around you. Completion takes 10 minutes or less, making it suitable for a brief, focused check-in.

This open-source Android application presents a measured self-assessment rather than meditation instruction or a general collection of meditation exercises. It can support personal reflection, classroom or community activities, and research-oriented self-assessment when someone wants to examine present-moment awareness. The MAAS has shown strong psychometric properties in reported studies involving college participants, community samples, and cancer patients. Correlational, quasi-experimental, and laboratory research has also explored its connections with self-regulation and well-being, and the measure is described in Brown and Ryan’s 2003 article, The benefits of being present: Mindfulness and its role in psychological well-being.

Version 1.0.8 runs on Android 5.0 or later and uses Universal architecture. The current release targets SDK version 35, a platform-level update relevant to Android compatibility.
