Mind Excessively Wandering Scale
The Mind Excessively Wandering Scale ( MEWS ; Mowlem et al., 2019) is a new self-report scale that developed in the context of 2 studies investigating excessive mind wandering (MW) in adult ADHD. The MEWS was developed to explore the role that MW may play in the pathogenesis of ADHD, as well as its potential role in diagnosis. The scale captures the main characteristics of the mental state ...
Using a new measure based on ADHD patient reports, the Mind Excessively Wandering Scale ( MEWS ), we previously found adults with ADHD had elevated levels of mind wandering that contributed to ...

Objective: This study investigates excessive mind wandering (MW) in adult ADHD using a new scale : the Mind Excessively Wandering Scale ( MEWS ). Method: Data from two studies of adult ADHD was used in assessing the psychometric properties of the MEWS . Case-control differences in MW, the association with ADHD symptoms, and the contribution to functional impairment were investigated. Results: The ...
We recently developed and validated a new rating scale reflecting excessive mind wandering in ADHD: the Mind Excessively Wandering Scale (MEWS)3. The scale demonstrated a unidimensional structure ...

Excessive mind wandering was measured using The Mind Excessively Wandering Scale ( MEWS ) 3. While the MEWS was initially developed as a 15-item scale , previous psychometric evaluation and validation found 3 items had low factor loadings and that shortening the scale to 12-items did not reduce its sensitivity or specificity, so we use the 12-item ...
Mind Excessively Wandering Scale (MEWS)
The Mind Excessively Wandering Scale ( MEWS ) consists of 15 statements that assess the frequency of excessive wandering thoughts and mental distractions. Respondents score themselves on a scale from 0 to 3 for each statement, with a total score over 15 indicating significant issues. The scale aims to help individuals understand their thought patterns and potential difficulties in focusing.
Mind wandering in adults with ADHD was examined using the Mind Excessively Wandering Scale ( MEWS ). Adults with ADHD showed an elevated level of mind wandering and higher MEWS scores were associated w...

Among these, the Mind Excessively Wandering Scale ( MEWS ) (Mowlem et al., 2016), is one of the most representative and wellsupported by research over the last years.
The MEWS functioned well as a brief measure of excessive MW in adult ADHD, showing good internal consistency (α > .9), and high sensitivity (.9) and specificity (.9) for the ADHD diagnosis, comparable with that of existing ADHD symptom rating scales . Elevated levels of MW were found in adults with ADHD, which contributed to impairment independently of core ADHD symptom dimensions.
