How aware are you of your body sensations?
The Multidimensional Assessment of Interoceptive Awareness, Version 2 (MAIA-2) is a validated self-report measure originally developed by Wolf E. Mehling, Cynthia Price, Jennifer J. Daubenmier, Mike Acree, Elizabeth Bartmess, and Anita Stewart at the University of California, San Francisco. The MAIA-2 was refined by Wolf E. Mehling, Michael Acree, Anita Stewart, Jonathan Silas, and Alexander Jones to assess interoceptive awareness—the ability to sense, interpret, and respond to signals from within the body. It measures eight dimensions: Noticing, Not-Distracting, Not-Worrying, Attention Regulation, Emotional Awareness, Self-Regulation, Body Listening, and Trusting.
Note: This survey is not a diagnostic tool. It is part of a research study exploring the relationship between bodily awareness and imagery experiences, including aphantasia.
