Abstract:
This study aimed to develop and validate the Sexual Five-Facet Mindfulness Scale (FFMQ-S), a 19-item measure assessing sexual mindfulness in a sample of Arab married women. Initial items were translated and culturally adapted through a bilingual committee approach. The FFMQ-S was tested using exploratory factor analysis (EFA), confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), measurement invariance testing, and exploratory graph analysis (EGA) with a sample of 720 married Arab women. A five-factor model was found to best fit the data, with all items retained. The FFMQ-S demonstrated excellent internal consistency (Cronbach's α > .85) and evidence of convergent and discriminant validity, with higher sexual mindfulness associated with lower sexual distress and greater sexual satisfaction. Measurement invariance confirmed the stability of the factor structure across different marriage durations. Network analysis further supported the interrelations among the five facets. Findings suggest that sexual mindfulness, as a multi-dimensional construct, is linked to positive sexual outcomes. The FFMQ-S can serve as a valuable tool for assessing sexual mindfulness and guiding clinical interventions aimed at improving sexual well-being in women.
