نبذة مختصرة : AbstractNo Arabic version of the Revised Cognitive-Affective Mindfulness Scale (CAMS-R) was found, prompting this study’s threefold objectives: first, to validate an Arabic translation of CAMS-R among Tunisian students; second, to assess its factor structure and reliability; and third, to explore its validity by investigating the relationship between CAMS-R scores, grit, and academic success. Cross-sectional online data were collected from 705 university physical education students (mean age 21.62 ± 1.38 years) in two distinct time periods, with participants divided into exploratory and confirmatory samples. The 12-item CAMS-R scale underwent both exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), confirming a second-order structure (χ2 (53) = 77.997, p = 0.014; χ2/df = 1.47; Comparative fit index (CFI) = 0.995; CFI = 0.994; RMSEA (90% confidence interval [CI] 0–0.013–0.042) = 0.029. Strong internal consistency was indicated by Cronbach α indices ranging from 0.865 to 0.880 for all subscales. Results from ROC curve analysis revealed the Arabic CAMS-R’s ability to distinguish effectively between students with low and high-grade point averages (GPA; area under the curve [AUC] = 0.782, CI 95%: 0.726–0.838, p
