Abstract(s)
A qualidade da experiência de meditação pode ser mais relevante do que os benefícios
dos seus efeitos, existindo portanto, uma necessidade de avaliar a qualidade de
meditação, em vez de apenas os benefícios que ela nos traz (Kabat-Zinn et al., 1986).
Por isso, neste estudo achou se pertinente a utilização de uma escala que avalia-se as
aptidões cognitivas, efeitos físicos, emocionais e espirituais de meditação tanto durante
a meditação como na vida quotidiana.
Este estudo pretende investigar a relação entre a prática da meditação, bem-estar
espiritual e bem-estar subjetivo, assim como, a experiencia de meditadores durante a
meditação e efeitos percebidos no dia-a-dia. Também se pretende verificar se a
meditação é indutora de um maior bem-estar espiritual e subjetivo, comparando
meditadores com não meditadores. Os instrumentos utilizados foram a Escala de
Avaliação da Experiência Meditativa de Reavley & Pallant (2009), a Escala de Bem-
Estar Espiritual, “Spiritual Health And Life-Orientation Measure” (SHALOM), Escala
da Satisfação com a vida de Diener e Escala de Afectos positivos e negativos (PANAS).
A primeira sub-amostra foi selecionada por conveniência, constituindo-se por
praticantes de vários tipos de meditação e a segunda, constituiu-se por pessoas da
população em geral.
