We have recently found that nondirective meditation facilitates stress reduction. This supplementary study investigated whether defensive functioning would moderate these beneficial effects. We explored the occurrence of defense mechanisms and the impact of defensive functioning on the outcome of companies' stress management programs regarding worries nervousness, mental distress, sleep problems, and muscle pain. The sample was a population of active, working professionals recruited from Norwegian companies ( = 105). The intervention group obtained significant benefits on all outcome measures, but there were no effects in the control group. We analyzed defensive functioning with the self-report questionnaire, Life Style Index, at four time points. The healthy adults who participated had a low level of defense scores at the outset. There was a significant reduction in the level of defenses in both groups over the study period, 6 months. Defensive functioning significantly moderated the change of the outcome measures from baseline to follow-up in the intervention group, but not in the control group.
我们最近发现，非指导性冥想有助于减轻压力。这项补充研究调查了防御功能是否会调节这些有益效果。我们探讨了防御机制的出现情况以及防御功能对公司压力管理项目在担忧、紧张、精神困扰、睡眠问题和肌肉疼痛方面结果的影响。样本是从挪威公司招募的在职活跃专业人员群体（n = 105）。干预组在所有结果指标上都获得了显著益处，但对照组没有效果。我们在四个时间点使用自我报告问卷《生活方式指数》分析了防御功能。参与研究的健康成年人一开始防御得分较低。在为期6个月的研究期间，两组的防御水平都有显著降低。防御功能在干预组中显著调节了从基线到随访的结果指标变化，但在对照组中没有。
