(2012) The Multidimensional Assessment of Interoceptive Awareness (MAIA). PLoS ONE 7(11): e48230. doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0048230 more info, as well as paper and pencil survey at: http://www.osher.ucsf.edu/maia/ ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ OVERVIEW ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 32 6-point Likert scale, self-report ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ DURATION ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ the default set-up of the script takes appr. 3 minutes to complete ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ DATA FILE INFORMATION ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The default data stored in the data files are: (1) Raw data file: 'maia.iqdat' date, time: date and time script was run with the current group/subjectnumber subject, group, session: with the current subject/groupnumber/session id build: the Inquisit build q*_response: response given (in assigned values) Scale: 0(never)-5(always) R = automatically reversed scored questions q*_latency: how much time (in ms) the participant spent on the surveypage with this particular question (the last time this particular surveypage was visited) (2) Summary data file: 'maia_summary.iqdat' (Inquisit Lab: one data file per participant) inquisit.version: Inquisit version run computer.platform: the platform the script was run on (win/mac/ios/android) startdate: date script was run starttime: time script was started subjectid: assigned subject id number groupid: assigned group id number sessionid: assigned session id number elapsedtime: time it took to run script (in ms); measured from onset to offset of script completed: 0 = script was not completed (prematurely aborted); 1 = script was completed (all conditions run) Subscale scores: the higher the scores the more positive the body awareness (Range: 0-5) Noticing: mean of (q1,q2,q3,q4) NotDistracting: mean of (q5R,q6R,q7R) R=reversed scored NotWorrying: mean of (q8R,q9R,q10) R=reversed scored AttentionRegulation: mean of (q11,q12,q13,q14,q15,q16,q17) EmotionalAwareness: mean of (q18,q19,q20,q21,q22) SelfRegulation: mean of (q23,q24,q25,q26) BodyListening: mean of (q27,q28,q29) Trusting: mean of (q30,q31,q32) ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ INSTRUCTIONS ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ see published paper and pencil survey at: http://www.osher.ucsf.edu/maia/ ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ EDITABLE CODE ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ check below for (relatively) easily editable parameters, stimuli, instructions etc. Keep in mind that you can use this script as a template and therefore always "mess" with the entire code to further customize your experiment.
