Table 1. Descriptive Statistics, Reliability Coefficients, and Sensitivity to Change Statistics for FFMQ-39 and FFMQ-15 Facets Pre- and Post-MBCT (N = 238).

Scale and subscale Pre-MBCT Post-MBCT Sensitivity to change
M SD α M SD α ta d [95% CI]b
Note. For FFMQ-39 subscales, scores range from 8−40, except for nonreactivity to experience scores, which range from 7−35. For all FFMQ-15 subscales, scores range from 3−15. CI = confidence interval; FFMQ = Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire; MBCT = mindfulness-based cognitive therapy.
