Women Benefit More Than Men In Meditation

3 posts in this topic

"This study suggests that college-age men and women may have divergent responses to meditation training. Specifically, women benefit more by demonstrating decreased negative affect and improved mindfulness and self-compassion skills. Conversely, men did not show improvements in negative affect, nor did improvements in mindfulness and self-compassion translate to improved affect as it did in women."

An interesting read if you have the patience to read this long report from a self professed first ever study in this manner.

@SOUL Women are oppressed in society, so they already start from lower on the spectrum of empowerment. Therefore, they show the greatest initial improvement. The same way as getting from 70% to 80% is easier than getting from 90% to 95%.
