The major goal of this study was to explore the relationship among psychological mindedness (PM) and several facets of awareness, including a general sense of mindfulness (Mindful Attention Awareness Scale; Brown & Ryan, 2003), as well as more specific awareness of self (self‐consciousness scale; Fenigstein, Scheier, & Buss, 1975) and others (Interpersonal Reactivity Index; Davis, 1980). Participants were 103 undergraduate students at an urban liberal arts college. Results indicated that PM (PM Scale; Conte, Plutchik, Jung, Picard, Karasu, & Lotterman, 1990) is related to mindfulness ( r = .41, p < .01), private self‐consciousness ( r = .27, p < .05), as well as cognitive ( r = .30, p < .01) and affective ( r = .35, p < .01) indices of empathy. Self‐consciousness and empathy explained a significant amount of variance in PM in a simultaneous‐entry multiple regression. These findings support theoretical claims that PM involves awareness of self and others. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Clin Psychol. 61: 739–750, 2005
