Groei in zelf-actualizatie en persoonlijke ontwikkeling

Increased Personal Development

University students who learned the TM-Sidhi Programme, in comparison to control students from another university, increased significantly on three measures of personal development and psychological health—increased creativity, increased autonomy, and increased intrinsic spirituality. The TM-Sidhi Programme participants also improved significantly on an overall measure of well-being and a measure of psychological integration in comparison to the control students.

Increased Autonomy

Students who learned the TM-Sidhi Programme were found to increase over a nine-month period in autonomy. Autonomy, defined as reported self-sufficiency, self-reliance, freedom, independence, and mastery of situations, was measured as one dimension among several in an open-ended interview, rated by independent interviewers, designed to elicit expression of experiences that the subject values in life.
