Conclusion The review of the literature strongly suggests that Transcendental Meditation programs improve constructive thinking among healthy populations of young adults and adolescence. The studies by So and Orme-Johnson (2001) provide evidence for a causal relationship between TM practice and constructive thinking among adolescent students in Taiwan, independent of fluid intelligence and anxiety. Although CTI is not the central dependent variable in the study performed by Nidich et. al (2009), the study lends a measure of support to the improvement of TM on constructive thinking. In the future, experiments should be to make constructive thinking the principle factor of investigation of student TM practice, controlling for extraneous variables.
