Further Examination of the Quality of Changes in Creative Functioning Resulting from Meditation (Zazen) Training.

Cowger, Ernest L., Jr.; Torrance, E. Paul

Creative Child and Adult Quarterly, v7 n4 p211-17 Win 1982

The quality of changes in creative functioning resulting from training in ZEN meditation (Zazen) and relaxation training were compared. Pre-posttest changes in the two groups, as revealed by the General Linear Models Procedure, revealed that the meditation group experienced greater perceived change resulting from new conditions, expression of emotion, internal visualization, and fantasy.
