If you Google Nidich AND moral reasoning you'll come up with a bunch of citations. Here are three that were actually published in journals (peer reviewed? don't know): Nidich, S. I.; Ryncarz, R. A.; Abrams, A. I.; Orme-Johnson, D. W.; and Wallace, R. K. Kohlbergian cosmic perspective responses, EEG coherence, and the Transcendental Meditation and TM-Sidhi program. Journal of Moral Education 12: 166173, 1983. Seeman, W.; Nidich, S.; and Banta, T. Influence of Transcendental Meditation on a measure of self-actualization. Journal of Counseling Psychology 19: 184187, 1972. Nidich, S.; Seeman, W.; and Dreskin, T. Influence of Transcendental Meditation: A replication. Journal of Counseling Psychology 20: 565 566, 1973. ------------------------ Yahoo!
