The recently developed Multidimensional Awareness Scale (MAS) consists of three subscales assessing individual differences in present-moment awareness of internal states (meta-awareness; MAS-MA), present-moment awareness of the external world (external awareness; MAS-EA), and in the adoption of a detached, observer perspective on one's current internal states (decentered awareness; MAS-DA). The present article examines whether the constructs identified during the development of the MAS manifest during behavioral laboratory tasks. Study 1 (N = 242) examined participants' memory for incidentally encountered external stimuli (criterion for external awareness) and reports of awareness of mind wandering during a lengthy vigilance task (criterion for meta-awareness), and Study 2 (N = 230) examined tolerance of a painful stimulus and concurrent and retrospective reports of pain (criteria for decentered awareness). Results supported the constructs of meta-awareness and decentered awareness and the corresponding validity of the MAS-MA and MAS-DA but incidental memory was not related to MAS-EA. Findings generally remained after controlling for previously established measures of mindfulness or decentering. Results are discussed with respect to theory on awareness-related concepts and potential uses of the MAS subscales. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2023 APA, all rights reserved).

使用认知和行为结果验证不同形式的当下意识。

最近开发的多维意识量表（MAS）由三个子量表组成，评估当前时刻内部状态意识（元意识；MAS-MA）、当前时刻外部世界意识（外部意识；MAS-EA）的个体差异，并采用超然的观察者视角来看待一个人当前的内部状态（去中心意识；MAS-DA）。本文研究了 MAS 开发过程中识别的结构是否在行为实验室任务中表现出来。研究1（N = 242）检查了参与者对偶然遇到的外部刺激的记忆（外部意识的标准）以及在长时间的警戒任务期间对走神意识的报告（元意识的标准），研究2（N = 230）检查了对疼痛刺激的耐受性以及同时和回顾性的疼痛报告（分散意识的标准）。结果支持元意识和去中心化意识的结构以及 MAS-MA 和 MAS-DA 的相应有效性，但附带记忆与 MAS-EA 无关。在控制了先前建立的正念或去中心化措施后，研究结果通常仍然存在。结果讨论了与意识相关的概念和 MAS 子量表的潜在用途的理论。（PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2023 APA，保留所有权利）。结果支持元意识和去中心化意识的结构以及 MAS-MA 和 MAS-DA 的相应有效性，但附带记忆与 MAS-EA 无关。在控制了先前建立的正念或去中心化措施后，研究结果通常仍然存在。结果讨论了与意识相关的概念和 MAS 子量表的潜在用途的理论。（PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2023 APA，保留所有权利）。结果支持元意识和去中心化意识的结构以及 MAS-MA 和 MAS-DA 的相应有效性，但附带记忆与 MAS-EA 无关。在控制了先前建立的正念或去中心化措施后，研究结果通常仍然存在。结果讨论了与意识相关的概念和 MAS 子量表的潜在用途的理论。（PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2023 APA，保留所有权利）。
