Abstract: (Show)
Replicated the study by W. Seeman et al (see record 1972-29165-001) of the influence of transcendental meditation on self-actualization. The Personal Orientation Inventory (POI) was administered to 9 undergraduates 2 days before beginning a meditation program, and to 9 controls, and readministered 10 wks later. No significant differences were found between groups on the 1st administration. Significant differences were found on the 2nd administration; experimental Ss had higher scores on the Inner Directed and Time Competence scales (p < .01 and .05, respectively). Differences were in the predicted direction on the other POI scales. Results replicate those of the previous study.
