Research Results
An interview with Michael Levenson, Ph.D. and Carolyn
Aldwin, Ph.D.
In the first quarter of 2003, Professors Michael Levenson and Carolyn
Aldwin of the University of California at Davis completed their
three-year grant research study of the Hoffman Quadrinity Process
(HQP). A summary of their scientific findings will be sent out soon
to all graduates. Briefly stated, however, the researchers found
that participants in the Hoffman Process experienced significant
and lasting reductions in negative affect (depression, anxiety,
interpersonal sensitivity, hostility, and obsessive-compulsive disorder),
coupled with significant and lasting increases in positive affect
(emotional intelligence, life satisfaction, spiritual experience,
mastery, empathy, and forgiveness.) Hoffman Process participants
were also found to have significantly increased physical energy
and vitality. In this interview, Drs. Levenson and Aldwin share
some of their perceptions about this research.
