Trait mindfulness in adolescents with and without Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder.

ABSTRACT:

Background and objectives

Mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs) are proposed to cultivate trait mindfulness through mindfulness practice, which may in turn to lead improved clinical outcomes. Individuals who report lower levels of this trait may be promising candidates for MBIs because they present with the opportunity for growth in this area. Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) has been associated with low trait mindfulness, though facets of trait mindfulness and ADHD features beyond core symptoms have not been examined among youth with the disorder. The goal of this study was to examine trait mindfulness-including facets of trait mindfulness-in adolescents with and without ADHD in relation to ADHD symptoms and related ADHD characteristics.
