다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study investigated the relationship between Brain Education meditation experienced and inexperienced in psychological well-being and depression among adults in their 20s and 30s. Results showed that those with Brain Education meditation experience scored higher on the Purpose of life and Personal growth scales of Psychological well-being as compared to those with no experience. Meditators scored lower in symptoms of depression than non-meditators. While Psychological Well-being did not vary for meditators according to gender, inexperienced meditators`s scores did vary according to gender on the Environmental mastery, Purpose in life, and depression scales. Psychological well-being and depression scores were divided into three groups based on amount of experience in Brain Education meditation: no experience, less than one year experience, and more than that. Those with no experience in Brain Education meditation showed a significant difference on the Self-acceptance and Purpose in life scales of Psychological well-being as compared to those with more than one year experience. Those with less than one year experience showed a significant difference on the Autonomy and Purpose in life scales as compared to those with more than one year experience. On the Personal growth and depression scales, non-meditators showed a significant difference as compared to both groups of meditators. This research suggests that Brain Education meditation may contribute to positive changes in one`s Purpose in life and Personal growth and may also help to alleviate the symptoms of depression in their 20s and 30s.
