The Langer Mindfulness Scale

The Langer Mindfulness Scale measures how mindful a person is—meaning their level of awareness, openness, and presence in everyday life. It assesses qualities like paying close attention to details, being open to new experiences, and staying present rather than on autopilot. Higher scores suggest a person tends to be more aware, flexible, and receptive to their surroundings, which can lead to better decision-making, creativity, and well-being. It’s a useful tool for understanding how consciously someone experiences the world and how this awareness impacts their behaviors and perceptions.
