Psychometric Properties of the Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire Short Version (FFMQ-SF) in the Colombian Population

With 582 Colombian adults, the five-factor structure of the FFMQ-SF-24 and its invariance by sex and meditation practice were confirmed. Reliabilities ranged from adequate to good; 20/24 items showed good Rasch fit. Theoretically coherent correlations were observed with emotional symptoms, mindfulness, and transdiagnostic variables. Caution is recommended when interpreting the "Observe" facet, and DIF was detected in items 10 and 13.
