תקציר	The Kentucky Inventory of Mindfulness Skills (KIMS) is a 39-item self-report questionnaire measuring trait mindfulness across four theoretically distinct skills: Observing, Describing, Acting with Awareness, and Accepting Without Judgment. Developed by Baer, Smith, and Allen in 2004 at the University of Kentucky, the KIMS was one of the first multidimensional mindfulness measures and served as a foundational model for subsequent instruments including the widely used Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire (FFMQ). The KIMS remains a valuable tool for research and clinical assessment, particularly in settings emphasizing skill-based approaches to mindfulness development.	The Philadelphia Mindfulness Scale (PHLMS) is a 20-item self-report instrument measuring trait mindfulness across two core dimensions: Present-Moment Awareness and Acceptance. Developed by Cardaciotto, Herbert, and colleagues at Drexel University and published in Assessment in 2008, the PHLMS emphasizes the integration of attentional and acceptance-based processes central to contemporary mindfulness theory and practice. The two-factor structure reflects the distinction between the ability to focus attention on present experience and the capacity to receive that experience without judgment or resistance—processes that jointly characterize psychological flexibility and adaptive mindfulness.
