The aim of this study was to estimate validity evidence based on the relation with external variables
for the State Mindfulness Scale for Physical Activity. For this purpose, means comparison was
performed between groups of sports and yoga practitioners, as well as association analysis between
mindfulness and passion. The sample consisted of 85 people (29.16 ± 10.93), 58 were regular
practitioners of different sports, and 27 were yoga practitioners. Student’s t-tests indicated
meaningful differences between the groups, with higher mindfulness levels for yoga practitioners.
Pearson correlation indicated positive associations between mindfulness and harmonious passion
and absence of association with obsessive passion, confirming the theoretical hypothesis of
convergent and discriminant validity.
