The Influence of a Meditation Relaxation Technique on Group Problem-Solving Effectiveness

Herbert S. Kindler

Loyola Marymount University

This research examines the question: What impact does meditation and deep relaxation have on group problem-solving effectiveness? Five-person teams comprised of 230 graduate management students participated in this study that found: (1) meditation teams improved more from pretest to posttest than control teams in solving the group problem faster and with fewer transactions; and (2) members of meditation teams felt less tense and showed more effective teamwork than members of control teams. The results are interpreted as encouragement for organizations to offer meditation-relaxation programs to employees on a voluntary basis.
