the claim

Ellen Langer coined the term mindfulness.

the verdict
CONTESTED
the evidence cuts both ways
Recorded sources
1 source for · 1 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that Ellen Langer coined the term mindfulness?

Partly. One reference work states plainly that Ellen Langer coined the term mindfulness, while another reference work attributes the coinage of 'mindfulness' to the British scholar T.H. Rhys Davids. The sources directly disagree on the attribution.
