MOSCOSO, MANOLETE S.  e  MERINO-SOTO, CÉSAR. Internal structure of the Mindfulness and Equanimity Peruvian Inventory. Rev. colomb. psicol. [online]. 2022, vol.31, n.1, pp.49-64.  Epub 06-Jun-2022. ISSN 0121-5469.  https://doi.org/10.15446/rcp.v31n1.96718.

The main purpose of this study is to report the construct validity and internal consistency of the Peruvian Inventory of Mindfulness and Equanimity. Based on the factor analysis and the Item response Theory (the Partial Credit Model and the Mokken Scale Analysis), the parameters magnitude was examined, and we estimated the variance of each item of the instrument that contribute to the general construct of mindfulness. The analyses were carried out on a sample of 602 adults, students from three educational institutions at the university level in the cities of Lima, Chiclayo, and Chimbote in Peru. The results of all the analyses performed on this peruvian sample suggest a unidimensional structure of this inventory, based on the eight items selected that include the abilities of attention, consciousness, acceptance, judgment, and equanimity. The goodness of fit index and adjusted goodness of fit index for the oblique factors were satisfactory:

CEI = .982, RMSEA = .043 (lC90% = .029, .056), SRMR = .048, SB- |2 (gl: 35) = 73.415 (p > 0.05).
