Administered the Personal Orientation Inventory (POI) to 15 undergraduates 2 days before beginning a program of transcendental meditation, and to 20 nonmeditating controls. No significant differences were found between groups on any of the POI scales. 2 mo. after regular meditation sessions by experimental Ss, both groups were retested. For 6 of the 12 POI variables, there were differences between groups in the direction of predicted "self-actualization" for meditating Ss. The psychological import of these changes is discussed.
