Assessment
name: Child
and Adolescent Mindfulness Measure (CAMM)
Scale
overview: The
Child and Adolescent Mindfulness Measure (CAMM) is a 10-item, self-report
measure of “present-moment awareness, and nonjudgmental, nonavoidant responses
to thoughts and feelings” designed for children and adolescents aged 10 to 17.
(Greco et al., 2011)
Authors: Laurie Greco, Ruth Baer, and Gregory Smith
Response
Type: 5-point
rating scale where 0 = never true and 4 = always true.
Scale
items
The items
were based on three dimensions of mindfulness: Observing, Acting with
awareness, and Accepting without judgment.
Psychometric
properties
Factor
analyses supported a single factor structure. Internal validity was good (alpha
= .81). A foundation for concurrent validity included positive correlations
with academic competence, social skills, and quality of life. In addition, the
CAMM’s scores were inversely related to externalizing problems, somatic
complaints, and internalizing symptoms.
Other
studies have used the CAMM and provide support for reliability and validity.
