| <div style='text-align:justify;'>Paul J Mill’s et. Al. made an attempt to examine the relationship among imbalances in the [[Dosha|dosha]] (termed Vikriti) reported via questionnaire and Western measures of psychological states. The 60 item vikriti questionnaire assess vikriti of each of the three [[Dosha|dosha]]. The 101 participants were asked to rate the symptoms as “very often”, “sometimes”, or “not often” with a score of 5, 3, and 1, respectively. A higher vikruti score equates to more imbalance, or accumulation, of that respective [[Dosha|dosha]]. PROMIS Anxiety Scale, Centre for Epidemiology Studies-Depression (CES-D), Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), Mindful Attention Awareness Scale (MAAS), Rumination-Reflection Questionnaire (RRQ), Ryff Scale of Wellbeing scales were used as western measures of psychological states. Study concluded that symptoms of mind-body imbalances in [[Ayurveda|Ayurveda]] are differentially associated with western assessments of psychological states. Ayurvedic [[Dosha|dosha]] assessment may be an effective way to assess physical as well as emotional wellbeing in research and clinical settings. </div> | | <div style='text-align:justify;'>Paul J Mill’s et.
