Method evidence record

Freiburg Mindfulness Inventory

The Freiburg Mindfulness Inventory (FMI) is a 30-item self-report questionnaire measuring trait mindfulness, with a widely used 14-item short form (FMI-14). Developed by Buchheld, Grossman, and Walach in 2001 and originally validated in insight meditation practitioners, the FMI has become a standard measure in mindfulness-based intervention research, particularly in European studies and clinical trials evaluating MBSR and MBCT. The instrument emphasizes present-moment awareness, non-judgment, and openness to experience.
