religious context by supporting the notion of a 12-month practice period during which time
nonmeditators and inexperienced meditators were psychometrically indistinguishable, showing
that the indiscriminately proreligious label unexpectedly conferred protection among this ethnic
minority sample, and exposing the powerful confounding relationships of practice regularity,
concentration levels during mantra use, and acculturation. Future research should employ true
experimental design with random assignment to treatment conditions to render causal
relationships. A prospective design exceeding 12 months and focusing on the label of
indiscriminately proreligious among ethnically- and religiously-diverse cohorts would be optimal.

psychology and demonstrates how a combination of both traditions can be dramatically more
effective than using either one alone.”
