A statistical meta-analysis conducted at Stanford University of all available studies (146 independent outcomes) indicated that the effect of the Transcendental Meditation program on reducing trait anxiety was much greater than that of concentration and contemplation or forms of physical relaxation, including muscle relaxation. Analysis showed that these positive results could not be attributed to subject expectation, experimenter bias, or quality of research design.
