主观报告的准确性,特别是那些涉及内省自己的内部过程,仍然不清楚,研究表明,内省的准确性有很大的个体差异。据推测,由于冥想练习的高度内省性质,从事冥想练习的人内省的准确性可能会提高。我们对这一假设进行了初步的探索,检查了冥想练习者(1 - 15000小时经验)的内省准确性。内省的准确性是通过比较在“身体扫描”冥想过程中20个身体区域的主观触觉敏感度报告和平均的客观触觉敏感度测量(初级体感皮层的身体表征区域的平均大小;两点辨别阈值)来评估的。专家冥想者的内省准确性明显优于新手;整体冥想体验也显著预测了个人内省的准确性。这些结果表明,长期冥想者提供的内省报告比新手更准确。
The accuracy of subjective reports, especially those involving introspection of one's own internal processes, remains unclear, and research has demonstrated large individual differences in introspective accuracy. It has been hypothesized that introspective accuracy may be heightened in persons who engage in meditation practices, due to the highly introspective nature of such practices. We undertook a preliminary exploration of this hypothesis, examining introspective accuracy in a cross-section of meditation practitioners (1–15,000 hrs experience). Introspective accuracy was assessed by comparing subjective reports of tactile sensitivity for each of 20 body regions during a ‘body-scanning’ meditation with averaged, objective measures of tactile sensitivity (mean size of body representation area in primary somatosensory cortex; two-point discrimination threshold) as reported in prior research. Expert meditators showed significantly better introspective accuracy than novices; overall meditation experience also significantly predicted individual introspective accuracy. These results suggest that long-term meditators provide more accurate introspective reports than novices.
