รายละเอียด / Details:

Objective To study the effect of insight meditation practice on the personality and emotional quotient development. Method The sample consisted of 49 male and female subjects, aged from 10 to 70 years, who received an intensive training course of insight meditation for 7 days in the designated center. The instrument used to assess the personality and emotional quotient before and after the training was a Thai version of Victor Serebriakoff’s personality and emotional quotient inventory which was divided into four categories, namely, extroversion-introversion, emotional stability, creativity, and strong-mindedness. Results The results of this study indicated that after the training of insight meditation the subjects had statistically significant higher levels of emotional stability and creativity (p‹0.05) but the level of extroversion-introversion and strong-mindedness remained unchanged. Conclusions Seven-day intensive training course of insight meditation can increase the level of emotional quotient with respect to emotional stability and creativity but causes no significant change of personality and strong-mindedness.
