The Tennessee Self-concept Scale was administered to 15 Australian subjects who had been practicing Transcendental Meditation for a mean of 3 yr. and 15 Australian subjects who had never practiced. A t test showed meditators had significantly more positive self-concepts on 7 of the 29 test scores—Total Positive, Identity, Self-satisfaction, Personal Self, Personality Disorder, Distribution Sub-score 2, and Moral Ethical Self. The possible psychological significance of these findings is discussed as are implications for additional research. The need for cross-validation of data reported in the present paper is essential.
