Science of well-being is getting focused across all walks of life from health care to organizational behavior. Indian psychological principles of Tri-Guna offer a universal theoretical framework to understand the behavioral aspects of emotions and well-being, whereas affective neurosciences have explored neural circuits underlying few universal emotional styles. Both Tri-Guna and emotional styles are dynamic and vulnerable for modifications with training. Hence, establishing a relation between Tri-Guna and emotional style offers a novel insight to explore neural basis of Tri-Guna and its application in health and behavioral sciences.
To establish the correlation between Tri-Guna and emotional styles in healthy adult subjects.
Healthy adults ( = 121, 18-21 years) of both genders were individually administered with questionnaires to assess Tri-Guna (Vedic personality inventory) and emotional style (emotional style questionnaire). The relationship between Tri Guna (Sattva, Rajas and Tamas) and Six dimensions of emotional styles (attention, self awareness, outlook, resilience, social intuition and sensitivity to context) were assessed using Pearson's correlation coefficient.
All the emotional styles showed a positive correlation with Sattva and negative with Rajas and Tamas, except resilience. Resilience showed a negative correlation with Sattva and positive with Rajas and Tamas. Further, between Rajas and Tamas, emotional styles showed a stronger correlation with Tamas.
Sattva guna showed an association with emotional styles that favors to develop a positive emotional pattern. Having fairly understood neural circuitry of emotional styles, this first preliminary correlation data will provide a theoretical framework to explore neural circuitry involved in understanding emotional aspects of Tri-Guna.
从医疗保健到组织行为，幸福科学在各行各业都受到了关注。印度的三德心理原则提供了一个通用的理论框架来理解情绪和幸福的行为方面，而情感神经科学已经探索了几种普遍情绪风格背后的神经回路。三德和情绪风格都是动态的，并且容易通过训练进行改变。因此，建立三德与情绪风格之间的关系为探索三德的神经基础及其在健康和行为科学中的应用提供了新的见解。
在健康成年受试者中建立三德与情绪风格之间的相关性。
对121名年龄在18至21岁的健康成年男女个体进行问卷调查，以评估三德（吠陀人格量表）和情绪风格（情绪风格问卷）。使用皮尔逊相关系数评估三德（萨埵、罗阇和答摩）与情绪风格的六个维度（注意力、自我意识、人生观、恢复力、社会直觉和对情境的敏感度）之间的关系。
除恢复力外，所有情绪风格与萨埵呈正相关，与罗阇和答摩呈负相关。恢复力与萨埵呈负相关，与罗阇和答摩呈正相关。此外，在罗阇和答摩之间，情绪风格与答摩的相关性更强。
萨埵与有利于形成积极情绪模式的情绪风格相关。在对情绪风格的神经回路有了相当的了解之后，这些初步的相关数据将为探索与理解三德的情感方面相关的神经回路提供一个理论框架。
