Dillbeck Et Al. Quality of Life: Reduction of Traffic Fatalities

This study assessed the influence of the group practice of the Maharishi Technology of the Unified Field on nationwide traffic fatalities in the United States during 1982. A substantial body of previous research indicates that as few as the square root of one percent of a population participating in the group practice of this program is sufficient to improve the quality of life in the entire society. A time series analysis of 1982 daily V. S. traffic fatality totals, adjusted for yearly trends based on 1975-1981 daily totals, was performed. It was found that a significant decrease in national traffic fatalities occurred immediately after the number collectively participating in this technology at Maharishi International University reached a high level, in excess of the number predicted to be necessary. The decrease in national traffic fatalities was also greater following days on which there was, in addition, a substantial increase in the number participating in the technology. These effects indicate the practicality of improving the national quality of life through the Maharishi Technology of the Unified Field.
