I have a follow-up question, if the reliability of the five-facet mindfulness scale is .5, and the validity is .6. Are they good or bad? Thank you.

Cheers and have a lovely day!

Impressive, and thanks for your kind reply.

Thank you for your question. A reliability coefficient of .5 for the Five Facet Mindfulness Scale is generally considered low. Higher reliability coefficients, closer to 1, indicate greater internal consistency. However, a validity coefficient of .6 suggests a moderate level of validity, indicating that the scale is measuring the intended construct to some extent. While the validity is decent, efforts should be made to improve the reliability of the scale for more robust and accurate measurements.
