Sammendrag	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 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.
