Abstract

The purpose of this study is to develop the Chitta Scale. In the four paths of accomplishment for working people. The sample group of 60 people was obtained from a randomized group of working people in various offices by specifying the respondents in the age range of 30-50 years. The instrument used in this research is the Chitta Scale with 13 items created from a synthesis of meaning and elements according to the four paths
of accomplishment, checking the content's validity from the theoretical framework. Research information from the Tripitaka and secondary sources includes in-depth interviews with 3 Buddhist experts to define the meaning of "Chitta" and check the validity with the Convergent Validity. The research used the Philadelphia Mindfulness Scale (PHLMS) that Suwat Thanakornnuwat (2019) applied. The results showed that the Pearson correlation coefficient was .235 positive correlation and checked for discriminant validity. The researcher used the impulsive measurement model of Amon Sudsawang, Phatraadee Makmee, and Kanok Panthong translated from the Barratt Impulsiveness Scale (BIS-11). The Pearson correlation coefficient test results were equal to -. 571, which had a significant negative relationship with the Chitta Scale. The corrected item-total correlation (CITC) of the Chitta Scale was examined in the range of .551-.821, and the reliability of the re-measure questionnaire (Test-retest reliability) was equal to .758. The statistical significance level is at .01.

The research results concluded that the quality of the Chitta Scale was good. Actually, to assess the presence of Chitta and apply it in other related research studies
