Abstract:

Found participation in transcendental meditation classes produced significant freshman-senior increases on intelligence and increased social self-confidence, sociability, general psychological health, and social maturity. No change was observed on social desirability. Changes may reflect success of the Maharishi International University approach to generate increases in intelligence, personal and social maturity.
