CLEAR ANSWERS TO COMMON QUESTIONS
Frequently Asked Questions
What does this questionnaire measure?
It measures awareness of internal bodily signals such as breathing, heartbeat, tension, and related sensations. It also assesses attention to these signals and their perceived link to emotions.
How long does it take and how many items are included?
Completion time is about 6 minutes. The questionnaire contains 32 items.
How should items be answered?
Select the response option that best matches typical experience rather than an unusual day. If unsure, choose the option that seems most accurate overall.
Is it a diagnostic instrument?
It is not designed to provide a medical or psychiatric diagnosis. Results describe patterns of body awareness that may support assessment and treatment planning.
How are results typically used?
Scores can indicate areas of stronger or weaker body awareness across several dimensions. Findings may inform interventions such as breathing skills, mindfulness-based training, or body-oriented approaches.

Multidimensional Assessment of Interoceptive Awareness-Revised (MAIA-R) Test - Symptoms and Signs
This self-report measure evaluates interoceptive awareness, or how an individual notices and relates to internal bodily sensations relevant to emotion regulation and stress responding. The Multidimensional Assessment of Interoceptive Awareness-Revised (MAIA-R) is designed to characterize multiple facets of body awareness in everyday contexts.
The instrument consists of 32 items and typically takes about 6 minutes to complete. Items assess perceived attention to bodily signals and the tendency to use or interpret those sensations in relation to affective states; results are commonly used to inform clinical formulation and to guide monitoring of body-focused or mindfulness-oriented interventions. The Multidimensional Assessment of Interoceptive Awareness-Revised (MAIA-R) was developed by Wolf E. Mehling and Cynthia J. Price.
