Meditation dosage predicts self- and teacher-perceived responsiveness to an 18-month randomised controlled trial.

ABSTRACT: Understanding the factors that predict why some individuals perceive to respond more to meditation training than others could impact the development, efficacy, adherence levels, and implementation of meditation-based interventions.
