Measures and questionnaires for research and practice

Bangor Mindful Parenting Scale

This questionnaire is designed to measure mindfulness of in the context of the parenting role. The measure can be used in research or practice as a process measure, especially to examine changes in mindful parenting perhaps as a result of mindfulness-based interventions. The measure is short, and based on the five facets of mindfulness.

The core reference for this scale is:

Jones, L., Hastings, R. P., Totsika, V., Keane, L., & Rhule, N. (2014). Child behavior problems and parental well-being in families of children with autism: The mediating role of mindfulness and acceptance. American Journal on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities, 119, 171-185.

Although the instructions for the measure refer to parenting a child with autism (the research context in which we used this scale), the instructions can easily be changed to refer to a child of interest in a research or practice context.
