Present Moment Awareness Scale (PMAQ) Test - Symptoms and Signs
This self-report measure assesses an individual’s tendency to attend to and be aware of present-moment experience in daily life. The Present Moment Awareness Scale (PMAQ) consists of 20 items and typically takes about 4 minutes to complete.
Respondents rate how frequently they notice current sensations, thoughts, and emotions, supporting a brief, structured appraisal of present-focused awareness. The Present Moment Awareness Scale (PMAQ) may be used in clinical or research contexts to characterize mindfulness-related attentional habits and to inform case conceptualization or treatment planning as appropriate. The scale is attributed to Kirk Warren Brown.
