- 소개/요약With Islamic seminarians in Iran (N = 243), use of empirical translation scheme procedures transformed the ‘non-judgmental’ psychological language of the Mindful Attention Awareness Scale (MAAS) into a more ‘judgmental’ measure reflecting a Muslim ideological surround. Muslim mindfulness and the MAAS correlated positively with each other, and both predicted stronger religious commitments and better mental health. Multiple regression procedures confirmed that the two forms of mindfulness combined to explain variance in religious and psychological functioning. Both scales also mediated associations of religious and psychological independent variables with both religious and psychological dependent variables. Muslim mindfulness tended to offer a more sensitive assessment of seminarian functioning. These data further illustrated how research that brings religious and psychological perspectives into empirically guided dialogues can enhance understandings of both.
