Resumen	The Mindfulness Attention Focus Scale (MAFS) is a brief self-report measure designed to assess the degree to which individuals maintain focused, intentional attention on present-moment experience versus experiencing automatic, mind-wandering attention. The MAFS addresses the attentional component of mindfulness from a neuroscientific perspective, grounded in research demonstrating that meditation produces measurable changes in attention networks and prefrontal cortex activation. The instrument emerged from contemplative neuroscience research investigating the neural mechanisms underlying mindfulness practice and the development of stable attentional focus.	The Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire (FFMQ) is a 39-item self-report instrument designed to measure trait mindfulness across five distinct dimensions: Observing, Describing, Acting with Awareness, Non-judging of Inner Experience, and Non-reactivity to Inner Experience. Developed by Baer and colleagues in 2006 and published in Assessment, the FFMQ has become one of the most widely used multidimensional mindfulness measures in research and clinical practice, applicable to both meditation practitioners and general populations.
