Convergent validity. A) Correlation coefficients among the subscales of the Eating Inventory (EI) and Mindful Eating Questionnaire (MEQ), and correlation coefficients between the EI subscales and the total score of the MEQ with and without the External Cues Subscale. B) Correlation coefficients among the total score of the Mindful Attention Awareness Scale (MAAS) and the subscales of the Mindful Eating Questionnaire, and correlation coefficient between the MAAS and the total score of the MEQ with and without the External Cues Subscale. Discriminant validity. C) Correlation coefficients among the subscales of the Neighborhood Environment Walkability Survey (NEWS) and Mindful Eating Questionnaire (MEQ), and correlation coefficients between the NEWS subscales and the total score of the MEQ with and without the External Cues Subscale.
