Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of MAUM meditation on Hwa-byung symptoms, stress symptoms, and coping styles. Participants were 120 people consisting of 65 men and 55 women who attended a MAUM meditation camp which lasted for 8 days. Ages ranged from 15 to 60 years (Men’s mean of age=41.8 years old, SD=11.2; Women’s mean of age=41.6 years old, SD=11.8). In the MAUM meditation camp, the participants were trained to meditate and be mindful for the total of 70 hours in groups of 15 to 20 people. Results revealed that the MAUM meditation participants showed decreases in scores on all subscales of Hwa-Byung Diagnostic Interview Schedule and SCL-90-R. The participants also endorsed more adaptive coping strategies and less maladaptive strategies. These results suggest that MAUM meditation can help people reduce Hwa-Byung symptoms and stress from daily life events. (Korean J Str Res 2015;23:63∼77)
