But again, if you look at the actual distribution and shape of the data, there's a squishing effect that happens. That although the average is actually staying about the same, there is this shifting in the data from one side to the other, even though the averages are fairly consistent. Because we have, it seems like we have a bimodal distribution.
We do have two very different groups of people and how they're reacting to meditation.
53.
54.
Uh, well quickly, the expectations that the people had for their positive feelings was 59. So interestingly, the expectation they had for their negative feelings, they spot on hit it.
They thought it was going to be 25 and they got to 25. Yeah. But for the positive feelings, they only got up to about 55, 54, 55. Yeah. But their expectation was 59 on average. So they actually didn't get as big of a positive feeling boost as they thought they would. Although whether this is statistically significant or not, we'd have to double check all those numbers.
It sounds about right.
Yeah, they're close. They're close. Now, here's the real kicker. So let's talk about thought. So, again, I introduced the negative thoughts as kind of a control. I did not think that their belief in these negative thoughts would change. But here's what happened. So they started off with an average belief of 76% in their negative thoughts. And then here's the sequence after each meditation.
So from 76 down to 64 to 61 to 54 to 54. Uh-huh. Mm-hmm. To 52 to 51. Wow. So they got this consistent decline, which is different from the negative feelings. The negative feelings, they got one kind of pop improvement, and then it stayed level. But with the thought belief, it was slowly coming down each time. I did not expect that. This shocked me. I was like, what? And now, so that's the belief.
And now here's the upsetness.
Yeah, I had a feeling that that was going to happen. That's also why I put that meditation right in the middle so that we could see some effects of early meditation first before we get to the loving kindness.
Because loving kindness meditation is so popular and is consistently the one that really does make people feel better because you're sitting there sending loving feelings towards yourself and people and even the people you don't like. So it's quite an intense emotional meditation. Yeah.
Belief and negative thought, which is also interesting.
Well, they're doing these meditations in sequence. So the moment they finish meditation two...
And their belief was 61%.
So technically, the body scan, the first meditation they do, has the biggest reduction.
Yeah.
And now that's the belief and the thought. So next up is the how upset do they feel about the thought? And this one's a bit different. So their initial upsetness was 83% upset. And here's the sequence after each meditation. So from 83, they went to 60. Wow. And then down to 54. And then down to 48. And then 48 and then 47. Wow.
Yep. Kind of the same, like a big, big initial reduction, a little reduction, and then another kind of big reduction with loving kindness, and then it just kind of levels out a bit.
Yeah. So that's the data. I mean, there's there's so much more that we could like analyze. I mean, we can get into all the individual negative feelings and how every single. feeling changed and the shape of these. There's so much data here and there's so many ways to analyze it.
