  • 소개/요약The study provides insight into the variations in the dimensions of free floating anxiety of persons who meditate as compared to persons who do not meditate. The importance of these dimensions is embedded in their ability to bring to the fore those very specific personality factors responsible for the variations in the free floating anxiety by using IPAT Anxiety Scale. The sample consisted of 30 each of male and female university students who were practicing meditation at least for 20 min daily for the past 3 years and matched group of 30 each of male and female students who do not meditate. The results showed the reflection of the low levels of free floating anxiety to all its dimensions only amongst male meditators; however amongst female meditators the significantly low anxiety levels did not reflect comprehensively to all its dimensions. The implications of the observed difference are discussed.
