This paper concerns the efficacy of meditation and relaxation in promoting self-actualization and changes in self-reported stress among 62 college students. Two groups were given mantra meditation and a yogic relaxation technique referred to as Shavasana. Pre- and posttest measures were taken on the Personal Orientation Inventory and the Behavioral Relaxation Scale. Both groups showed significant increases in scores on self-actualization; however, no differences were found between groups. Meditation training was associated with larger gains in scores on measures of systematic relaxed behavior than of the relaxation training.
本文探讨了冥想与放松对62名大学生自我实现的促进作用以及自我报告压力的变化。两组学生分别接受了曼陀罗冥想和一种名为挺尸式的瑜伽放松技巧训练。在个人取向问卷和行为放松量表上进行了前后测。两组学生的自我实现得分均显著提高；然而，两组之间未发现差异。与放松训练相比，冥想训练在系统放松行为测量指标上的得分提高幅度更大。
