What people are saying
Several discussions mention the conflicting findings from different meta-analyses, such as one noting the disappearance of effects when compared to active controls and another highlighting the greater impact of Transcendental Meditation. The tone ranges from skepticism to curiosity, with words like 'disappears', 'greater effect', and 'based on sources' illustrating the mixed sentiments and scientific references that drive the overall neutral evaluation.
The discussions show mixed opinions, with some posts questioning the validity of the meta-analysis and others referencing supportive studies, leading to a neutral overall agreement.
Many posts express curiosity about meditation's effects, especially highlighting new research findings, indicating moderate interest.
Posts include summaries of different studies and personal reflections, but lack deep technical analysis or extensive discussions, suggesting a moderate level of engagement.
The discussions reference multiple studies and broader implications such as mindfulness and brain activity, but do not claim profound societal impact, resulting in a neutral score.
Abstract in brief
- This meta-analysis reviews the psychological effects of meditation on nonclinical adult groups, mainly focusing on empirical studies, but many were excluded due to methodological issues.
- Overall, meditation shows medium effect sizes in improving emotionality, relationships, attention, and cognitive functions, with stronger effects on emotional and relational issues and weaker on cognitive measures.
- The findings suggest that long-term meditation experience only partially explains psychological benefits, highlighting the need for more precise theories and measurement tools to better understand how and why meditation works.

https://t.co/sjoKwTW2mr Metaanalysis of 163 meditation studies: only 10 had active control (active: do sth, vs passive: do nothing). When active control is compared to meditation, the positive effect of meditation disappears, suggesting the effect of meditation is due to placebo
