ABSTRACT
This study was taken up to examine triguṇa in assessing the personality of the humanity.
This work is a tiny wave in the huge ocean of Indian Psychology. Indian psychology is in a
nascent state with its potential immense and profound to understand self and the society. A
number of scholars across the globe committing to the concept triguṇa, have explored and
exposed its finer aspects. However, a small chunk of its core value was untouched.
As per scriptures, the core value of the triguṇa relates to the motivational aspect of
human nature. From this perspective it is possible to understand day to day behaviour of people
as rooted in three types of motives governed by sattva¸ rajas and tamas. They can be referred to
as altruism, hedonism and sadism respectively. Each of these involves different approaches to
achieve happiness. Keeping this as the basis, this study developed and standardized a tool named
AHS Scale. A stands for Altruism, H stands for Hedonism and S stands for Sadism. In the
process, the test was validated with IAS Rating Scale of Mathew and EPQ. The AHS Scale was

Attempt to unravel the psychological insights found in Indian tradition has a history of
hundred plus years. Such efforts were based on the Indian thought systems which were both
Researchers have dug deep into the same to explore and expose its possible empirical
applicability as well. As a result, in the recent past, people have started to show plenteous and
significant interest in comprehending Indian psychology (Cornelissen, Misra, & Varma, 2011a &
b; Rao, Paranjpe & Dalal, 2008; Rao & Paranpe, 2016). That has further resulted in people
undertaking research works that are thought provoking, if not ground-breaking. Overall progress
The term Indian Psychology has been in vogue for more than a century ever since svāmī
vivekānanda used it explicitly in his lectures in the United States of America and distinguished it
from Western Psychology. Later, Sri Aurobindo also used the same in his essays on education.
Subsequently, Mrs. Rhys Davids, a Buddhist Scholar, used the term. An Indian philosopher
adept in modern psychology got inspired by their works and published three volumes under the
title ‘Indian Psychology’ (Sinha, 1958), which created an intellectual arena for other scholars and
psychologists to undertake research on this theme. All this happened in the first half of the 20th
century.

A sizeable amount of inquisitive people and also fairly large skeptics have constructively

Psychology’s roots have been traced to the folk and classical traditions of different
cultures. Many modern psychologists and personologists from the west have appreciated the
importance of psychological insights available in other cultures (Kim & Berry, 1993).
Referring to Asian culture, Hall and Lindsey (1989) observe that, “Asian psychology has
proved remarkably durable, surviving longer than two thousand years; western personality
theories are quite young by comparison. Virtually every eastern meditation system transplanted
to the west- Transcendental Meditation, Zen and the like- stems from this psychology or another
much like it”. Further, they note that, “While eastern psychologies are concerned with states of
consciousness and the laws that govern their alteration, they also contain articulate theories of

type needs to overcome different obstacles to attain the liberation from these limits”. In light of
the teachings and behaviour of the eastern masters, the methods and aims of western
psychotherapy was inadequate. Compared with the degree of self-purification eastern discipline
demands, even the best western training analysis is not much more than an introductory course.

Each excerpt (Asian scriptures) offers some sort of psychological insight, whether in a view of
understanding of human motivation and personality is triguṇa (Murthy & Kumar, 2007).
If a blanket word has to replace both the words – ‘universe’ and ‘human personality’, in
triguṇa in the context of macrocosm and triguṇa in the context of microcosm. Two
separate texts of Indian thought systems have given adequate treatment to these two forms of the
cosmos.
If sāṅkhyā has touched upon the macrocosm perspective of triguṇa, the microcosm
īśvarakṛṣṇa, one of the eminent members, erudite scholars and staunch followers of
sāṅkhya school, states in his sāṅkhya-kārikā1 while describing the nature of the universe –
alone is heavy and enveloping; their functioning for the goal (of the spirit) is like (the action of) a
lamp’.
Amongst the three, sattva is responsible for the lightness in things, the upward movement
of the burning fire or the blowing across of the wind. tamas weighs down things and renders
them inactive. Neither of these would have the energy to fulfill its proper function but for the
stimulating activity of rajas. The functions assigned in each case are appropriate only to the
particular constituent; hence, the word “alone” occurring in “tamas alone” should be understood
after sattva and rajas also. These three constituents of primal nature are said to co-operate for the
summum bonum of the Spirit. From their contrariety this seems impossible (Sastri, 1973).

their actions. These discussions have been an impetus to people who want to refine their
personality. It has also been a propellant of many noble activities of different degrees of
capacities, as taken up by people from all walks of life. To some it is an origin of religion and to
some it is a source of practical handbook to practice the deeper essence of spirituality. There is

It is here, that, a difference between Indian Psychology and modern psychology exists.
The latter having emerged in the context of modern science attempts to remain as a discipline
that aims only at understanding and explicating the processes related to human behavior, without
referring to the purpose or goals of life and hence of personality. On the other hand, the Indian
scriptures play a major role in assisting us to understand the purpose of assemblage. Indian

explain ‘what man is’ without knowing ‘what man wants’ makes personality psychology a
travesty of a concept. This is the position of Indian Psychology as can be found from the study of
scriptures.
The Sanskrit word ‘guṇa’ can mean either of the two – ‘to invite’ or ‘to
develop/grow/multiply’, depending on the context of the usage. ‘tri’ which is indicative of three,

An individual is thus –
Based on the root meaning of the word vyaktiḥ, the following inferences can be drawn

of triguṇa is understandable when it comes under a proper cause and effect structure.

However, as the maxim goes – ‘every rule has an exception’. Intuition is barred from
having its origin in desire. Intuition is seen as a state of existence beyond the territory of triguṇa.
If desire is the cause, happiness is its effect. Motive plays the transitional role that
culminates desires into action. Action in the psychological terminology is a behavioural pattern,
which results either in happiness or unhappiness, irrespective of what the doer aimed at.
Thus the whole procedure gives birth to a cause and effect phenomenon. As per the nyāya
school of thought system, there are four kinds of causes that which coherently lead to an effect –

b) Subsidiary motive.
For example, an individual, who donates a sum of 100,000 INR towards the education of
his compatriot, desires to see a citizen in his country, who has a sound judgment and thorough
moral grounding. At the same instant, he wishes to provide ample publicity to his nobler side.
His desire to see a sane individual in his country would give him happiness as much as the

Hence, his happiness would sheer come from binding the child to choose a discipline of his

and not what the receiver really wants to educate himself with.

cause any dent to the overall rationale and the cause and effect phenomenon.
What is happiness?
This question probably can pound even the greatest of the thinkers thought process. This
question is mostly answered by mere rhetoric. The easiest answer one comes across is ‘It is an
Scriptures have given more than sufficient care and attention to the word happiness and
its meaning. The Sanskrit equivalent for the word happiness is ānanda. Though there are many
words, ānanda is the most popular and frequently used term in the context of humanity’s
ultimate goal.
Every Sanskrit word and its corresponding meaning/s is generally derived from a root.
Every root is attached with a default meaning/s. The root of ānanda is nadī samṛddhau. The
word ānanda is prefixed with ā. Each prefix in Sanskrit has a meaning depending on the context.
17
Hence, the primary English translation of ānanda is long term prosperity. If ā meant long
The Sanskrit root for the word prosperity is edh vṛddhau. The word samṛddhi is prefixed
with sam. If sam is translated as precise, English translation of the Sanskrit word ṛddhi is
development or growth. Hence, ‘precise development’ or ‘a good amount of growth’ is the final
meaning of samṛddhi.
Thus reconciling the two roots, ānanda can be defined as ‘long term prosperity, that
All said and done, what remains unanswered is – ‘is there a common definition, as to
To nullify the question, it is asserted earlier that ‘each one believes in certain traits as
The perennial enigma in regards to defining the primary goal of every individual is –
‘whether an individual is seeking happiness or pleasure’? Are they both the same?
Regardless of how objective the definition is, pleasure and happiness is confined to the
factors of time. If happiness is long term, pleasure is fleeting. In an empirical work as this, to
avoid the interference of subjective experiences that uses abstractness to measure the two,
happiness is retained.
The author of bhagavadgītā has equated pleasure as an aspect of personality and assessed
the same in terms of triguṇa. Hence, it is strongly justifiable to use happiness as man’s quest and

not pleasure. Pleasure is either but a small aspect of a personality or means towards the end and
not the goal or an end in itself. Hence, there are enough suggestive elements in the scriptures to
state that triguṇa can also be understood from a motivational perspective. This work

CHAPTER – 2
REVIEW OF LITERATURE
Traditionally, this chapter proceeds to review the available researched literatures in and
around triguṇa. In the domain of Indian psychology, triguṇa is the most discussed concept of
personality. No other concept in Indian thought system has been interpreted in the psychological
way, as much as triguṇa. Funny but true, triguṇa as a personality theory was primarily proposed
to set the ball of self-realization rolling. In spite of triguṇa being a major lead to the development
of a broad metaphysical base, it is still a broad personality construct for those who find meaning
From the beginning of 19th century, many scholars have shown great excitement in
juxtaposing Indian scriptures with psychology. The Science of Emotions authored by Bhagavan
Das (1905) was probably the first of such efforts to integrate the philosophical insights with
psychology and thereby maximize its viewership. Since then, the pace at which the Indian

world is created by the creator using sattva, rajas and tamas as a tool. Herein, the
(Tyagishaananda, 1949).
Such symbolism is not completely unraveled, in the process of this empirical research.
However, the best has been done to analyze, demystify and dissect such symbolic statements of
the Vedas. This reference as mentioned earlier is used in the context of macro-world. Hence,
scholars have suggested that records of this śvetāśvatara upaniṣat give us an inkling of how
there exists an intrinsic relationship between the Vedas and sāṅkhyā school of thought system.
This point suggests that any work involving sāṅkhyā and triguṇa is not psychological, but
cosmological. This information is essentially insightful during the review of literature as many
researchers have tried to blend triguṇa of sāṅkhyā with the personality aspects.
b) However, once in atharvaveda5 the word triguṇa appears exclusively and explicitly.

The aforementioned dual nature of the concept is proven by the most authoritative
scripture of the East – the Vedas. This elaboration of the dual nature of the same concept, under
one book, is a testimonial to the vastness of the concept and its profundity as well. It is by

Hence, it is visible to the onlookers of the concept triguṇa, that, it has two meanings and
they have to be chosen carefully if they have to be utilized to do a research in the discipline of
personality psychology.
In the beginning of 19th century, however, triguṇa got its psychological framework
through Pathak (1932). Succeeding researchers have constantly modified it to suit their research
requirements.
Gupta (1977), citing the work of Sharma, Gupta and Mitra (1965) explains as to how they

for item analysis. Item analysis showed that the two items were not discriminating between high
and low scores. Hence the two were eliminated. Reliability by test-retest method displayed a
correlation of 0.617. It is unclear as to what formed the basis for the 85 items.

Bhagavan Das (1955) formulated an interaction theory of guṇas to ascertain the
effectiveness and the influence of the triguṇa on cognition. The theory strongly depicted its
capacity to affect a variety of cognitive processes. The depictions are as listed below –

perception that is quite egotistic and such an individual’s thinking and imagination is

two or more dispositions, the conclusions drawn and the characteristics derived appear scratchy
and unfinished.
Parameswaran (1969) and Uma, Lakshmi and Parameswaran (1971) probably pioneered
the work of creating an inventory that intended to measure the human personality in terms of
triguṇa. As intended their inventory ascertained the guṇas, but as independent dimensions. It
overlooked any imaginable interaction between triguṇas. Further, it also failed to notice
predominance of one guṇa over the other guṇa whatsoever. Their validation of the inventory was

were deemed to be introverts, while those who had an outcome of high rājasic dimension were
deemed extroverts. People with high scores of tamas seem out of the scope of this research.

considers into account a lot of aspects that depict a personality. However, it is unknown as to
what is the basis for those aspects and further, they appear least comprehensive.
Lakshmibai, Murthy and Nagalakshmi (1975) did a study which was based on the
principles of sāṅkhya theory of human personality. To examine the existence of sāttvik, rājasic
and tāmasic factors, these three category people were chosen – 30 normal, 15 neurotics and 15
psychotics. Study evinced that rajas and tamas were significantly higher in the groups which
comprised patients, especially the psychotics, than in the normal groups. rājasic and tāmasic
factors as perceived by the researchers appeared validated as the behaviour showed outstandingly
a clear distinction between the clinical and non-clinical conditions. The outcome tallied with the
general understanding of people in terms of triguṇas. But what can be categorically called a flaw
here is the understanding of – theory itself. Undoubtedly, the three terms sattva, rajas and tamas
are lavishly used in the sāṅkhya theory. But, they are used to denote the nature and structure of
24
the world. Less or almost nil is their briefing of triguṇas in the context of human nature and the
personality at large. It is hence, questionable the way they have read and interpreted the sāṅkhya
Rao and Harigopal (1979) sufficiently treated the interconnectivity between triguṇas and
ESP (Extra Sensory Perception). The sample size of their research was 112. They were post
graduate students with their age ranging between 19 and 31. A significant negative correlation
between the scores of a tāmasic person and ESP was the final outcome.
Sitamma and Rao (1995) correlated triguṇas with ESP and verbal paired associates. The
findings revealed that there was negative correlation between people who had high scores on
tamas and other two measures viz., ESP and memory tests.
Sebastian and Mathew (2002) gave careful consideration to figure out the relation
between different dimensions of the personality i.e., inertia, activation and stability and PSI
experiences. Participants were 400 in number, out of which 200 were male and female. They
aged between 19 and 25 years. In the context of women there was a significant relationship
between PSI experience and the two personality variables, viz – activation and stability in the
case of women. Later in 2003 they furthered their research of triguṇa and PSI beliefs. PSI
belief’s significant relationship with two personality variables of activation and stability was
From the scriptural perspectives, it is distinctly unknown whether ESP has anything to do
with sattva, rajas and tamas at all. ESP is undefined component of the scriptures. There are only
a few references to ESP and most of those lack a precise definition and a threadbare discussion.
In case of Rao and Harigopal, it is further unknown if ESP can positively correlate with rajas or
is it okay for ESP not to negatively correlate with rajas? Exclusivity in negative correlation with
tamas is not a complete view to either understanding triguṇas or understanding ESP. In the case
25
of Sitamma and Rao, while memory tests and tamas showed negative correlation, it is
questionable from a commonsense per se, if people with ill will and other self-destructive
Datar (2014), cites in her work as to how Dube, Kumar and Dube (1983) delineated upon
the similarities between sāṅkhya theory of human mind and Freudian approach. Parallel efforts
have been put in to testify the proximate link between āyurveda and Lewin field theories (Kurt
Lewin was a Gestalt psychologist). This work gave prominence to a comparative study between
triguṇa and tridośa. Datar (2014) describes the above research thus – Significance of tridośa, by
vitating the chemical balance, as etiological factors of mental illness is also described. Sixteen
personality types and their correspondence with 16 types of mental disorders are also there in the
above study”
Chakraborty (1987) via his empirical study posited the effectiveness and hence the
worthiness of breathing exercises for boosting the elements of sattva. Augmenting of sattva has
potentially mellowed and purified the mind. His methodology was unique that it involved
persuading high level managers and students studying MBA from IIM Calcutta to enrol for a
course and orient them towards improvisation of their work-life quality, by following tenets of
vedānta, which is according to him a Psycho-Philosophy. The crux behind introducing them to
such a transformational course was to motivate the samples to taste the transformation oriented
experiential growth from within. The rate and speed of adaptability though slow, nevertheless,
the results of the enrolment was high-yielding. Over a period of time many of them did see a
managerial crisis or an episode of challenges, through the lens of detachment and objectivity,
i.e., sattva. He opines thus – “strengthening of sattva hastens one's approach towards a purer
mind, taking it closer to the puruṣa or ātman aspect of human being”. According to Chakraborty,
this is the kernel and the sum and substance of improvement of quality of work life.

This work is typical of interpreting and applying of ancient Indian scriptures. The
constant emphasis of ancient scriptures is to first bring about awareness towards self and then
rectify the mistakes if any and move towards the highest good in terms of identifying one’s
potentials to the fullest. This work is exemplary and first of its kind. The efforts to change the
perception of the employees at managerial level exhibit the potential applicability of triguṇa in
all spheres.
Mohan and Sandhu (1986, 1988) for the first time dealt the concept of triguṇa with a
view that was considerably novel. They saw each dimension to be separate and with one
dimension particularly as a dominant dimension. The results showed relatively a higher negative
correlation of sattva, rajas and tamas. They conclude, “rajas much closer to sattva than tamas.”
They also embarked upon a comparative study that estimated the similarities and
dissimilarities between the Eysenck's personality model and triguṇa personality model. The
research revealed a positive correlation between sattva and introversion, rajas and extroversion,
tamas and psychoticism. On the other hand, it revealed a negative correlation between sattva and
Eysenck are in totality different from the Eastern notion of sattva and other aspects of triguṇa.
Even though a high significant positive and negative scores are visible in the work of Mohan and
Sandhu, the scores as shown does not indicate any significant conceptual resemblance. Apart
from this, Mohan and Sandhu have seen the three aspects of triguṇa as independent values.
Kaur and Sinha (1992) weighed the effects of triguṇa within the spheres of
organizational behaviour on empirical grounds. Across 3 cities of India, 310 male executives
collected data went through the process of factor analysis. Contrary to their theoretical
27
assumption that triguṇa as three distinctively independent dimensions, the correlation showed a
significant relation between rajas and tamas. The fact that no correlation was found for the
The high significant scores of correlation between rajas and tamas is theoretically
possible as there is a great amount of exaggeration of self in both. The value assigned to self by
people with high disposition of rajas and tamas is so overwhelming that it supersedes the value
they attach to non-self. All said and done, still there is a clear distinction between them in terms
of the intensity in which a value is assigned to self. Hence, any such high significant correlation
that shows a close relation is not equivalent to being identical. Hence, at the level of operation
they are separate, yet, closely knit to each other as they all move towards a common end called
happiness.
Sitamma, Sridevi and Rao (1995) studied the triguṇa and thereby dug into the
The study’s sample size was 30 male and female post graduate students aged between 22 and
28 years. The scores availed indicated positive correlations between sattva, GEFT and PAT
scores. Negative correlations were at two places, i.e., between tamas and GEFT and also
between rajas and two perceptual tests. The intensity of the relationship altered as per the guṇa.
People with high tamas value, have a tendency to be more field dependent, in other words, they
are highly influenced by environmental factors. Only thinkable explanation for the least
significant correlation between sattva and GEFT and PAT scores is perhaps, the fact that, in
28
ordinary states of consciousness there is a lack of sattva component i.e., they lack greater
This work, first of its kind, is a very effectual way of putting across the fundamental idea
of the ancient scriptures – the autonomy. The sattva, rajas and tamas are also manifestations of
different gradations of freedom. Liberation from assumed and actual problems is one of the
many concepts which is glorified in the ancient literatures. As per them, higher the association
with the traits of sattva, the greater is the experiences of autonomy and emancipation.
Kapur, Hirisave, Reddy, Barnabas and Singhal (1997) inquired into the temperamental
between 4 to 6 years old were used as samples and subjected to this enquiry wherein, they were
Normal children were high on sattva. The research gives a clear account and represents
that normal and psychiatric children had crystal clear distinguishable temperamental profiles.
This research was also first of its kind that subjected small children to a test that
involved the measures of triguṇas. But, the implicit that apart from normal children the rest were
filled with high disposition of rajas and tamas, is incomplete. As high levels of rajas in small
children can be sometimes due to the presence of traits like exuberant enthusiasm and animated
Chittranjan, Daftuar and Anjuli (1997) worked on triguṇas in the context of job
Samples of 50 who were chosen for the test hailed from an engineering manufacturing
organization of Western India. A high negative correlation was discovered between job
involvement and occupational stress. On the contrary, organizational commitment showed high
positive correlation in case of individuals who were high on sattva. However, pertaining to
organizational stress, sattva negatively correlated with occupational stress (Only one positive
correlation though). In case of tamas, it lead to stress in several areas. No positive significant
correlation was secured whatsoever in case of rajas. Further, rajas negatively correlated with
role conflict.
Starting from Chakraborty (1987), many attempted to correlate the aspects of triguṇa
with the workplace related temperaments and attitudes. But, as long as the concept triguṇa is not
applied to first find the aptitude of such employees, the usage of the same in finding other
between the aptitude and the attitude towards a particular professional course or a job. As per the
traditional understanding certain jobs like that of an administrator, soldier or a leader should be
backed up with sattva, but should be dominated with high levels of rajas. Hence, such
The trio of Chittranjan, Daftuar and Sharma (1997) concentrated on the analysis of
triguṇa in terms of hierarchy of needs with their samples belonging to a public sector
employees. Employees were starting from the supervisory level. The mean age was 25.7 years.
The results as found showed a new dimension of triguṇas. The new dimensions are – sattva

operates at the level of “self actualization”, rajas operates at the level of “esteem” and lastly the
tamas operates at the level of “basic needs”. People high on tamas are either not or least
This work also being first of its kind ascertained the hierarchy of needs from the triguṇa
perspective. This definitely draws favourable attention of scriptural insights. This work justifies
Marutham, Balodhi and Mishra (1998) developed one another personality inventory on
the principles of triguṇa. The dimension as narrated by these shows that the presence of three
factors i.e., sattva (essence), rajas (motion) and tamas (inertia) as the sum and substance of all
the temperamental aspects of human personality. The inventory contained 120 items and was
named as the sattva, rajas and tamas (SRT) inventory. Sample size being 322, consisted of male
and female college students with Hindu and Non-Hindu religious preferences. Their age ranged
between 22 to 25 years. Results as shown upheld the fact that the inventory had content validity.
It also confirmed as to how each item ascertained a specific aspect of triguṇa factor. Though the
three factors were independent as per their assumptions, yet, the general trend showed how
sattva and rajas were predominant over tamas. Further, rajas was more predominant than sattva
itself.
This inventory follows a series of inventory which viewed the three aspects of triguṇa
independently. Neither can the three aspects be independent nor can they be independently
Mohan and Kataria (1998) studied the delinquency proneness in adolescents in relation to
adjustment and triguṇa a personality. Herein, the sample consisted of 280 male and 280 female
adolescents of different schools. To identify delinquency prone subjects Jesness Inventory was
31
administered. Amongst the low delinquency group there were 49 males 38 females. However,
amongst the high delinquency prone adolescents there were 48 males and 42 females. These
groups which were on two different ends of the spectrum were given Bell's Adjustment
Inventory and also triguṇa personality scale of Mohan and Sandhu (1986). The results explicated
that there were highly significant differences on Bell's Adjustment; high delinquency prone
males and females showed poorer home, health, social, emotional and total adjustment. While in
the case of triguṇa personality scale, male and female showed significantly higher sattva type of
personality scores in low delinquency prone group. In tamas dominant personality types, both
male and female of high delinquency prone subjects showed significantly higher scores. In rajas
dominant personality type only male delinquency prone subjects showed significantly higher
scores. This study thus conclusively exhibits that maladjustment is an indivisible part of
delinquency prone behaviour. If sattva was high within non-delinquent children, tamas would be
These kinds of researches have probably not paid close attention to the way triguṇa has
been defined in the ancient scriptures. Not all delinquent children are high on tamas in terms of
all components of personality. There are varied components of personality, amongst which
delinquent children can be high on sattva and rajas as well. Some components of personality
alone make them predominant on tamas factor. Hence, defining those components of personality
on which they scored high on tamas is in principle the right way of ascertaining the triguṇa in
individuals. On the contrary branding them as high on the disposition of tamas is not the
Mohan and Kalia (1998) carried out a small scale survey on an assorted rank of 49 police
personnel belonging to Punjab and Chandigarh cadre. The aim was to measure the motivation,
personality and self-perception of leadership styles. Results as presented vividly tell us that
32
subjects scored high on sattva. The result was almost the same irrespective of their levels in
terms of seniors and juniors. sattva was followed by rajas and tamas. Apart from that these
aspects were seen as well – ‘predominant style of leadership is authoritarian’, ‘nurturing style is
less’ and ‘delegate style is absent in totality’. Lastly, this is noticed that – ‘Police personnel have
scored quite high on lower three needs i.e., physiological, safety and affiliation needs, than their
counterpart upper two needs, i.e., self esteem and self actualization.
This work and the conforming results are self-defeating. From the Indian view of
understanding personality, sattva cannot be high in individuals who score low on self-esteem and
self-actualization. As per the Indian approach, leaders are of four kinds – dhīra-uddhaṭa, dhīra-
udāra, dhīra-lalita and dhīra-śānta. Leaders high on sattva should fall under dhīra-śānta and
such leaders are less authoritarian and more on nurturing side, contrary to what has been
mentioned here. Thus this work is acting to thwart its own goal of substantiating the hypothesis.
Sharma (1999) embarked upon to find the effectiveness of triguṇa in the domain of work-
life with a sample size of 74. There was a rich assortment of age groups and the job profiles.
sattva and rajas personality types interestingly were found to be positively correlated with self-
concept, but not in terms of job satisfaction. tamas personalities did not have significant
correlation either with self-concept or with job satisfaction. The results, showed positive
correlation between sattva and self-growth items. rajas was least significantly correlated with the
aspect of self-growth.
They scored high on sattva in terms of self-concept and not in terms of job satisfaction.
But, people with high disposition of sattva irrespective of what unfavourable situations they go
through, they supposedly maintain a high rate of acceptance. If it is true that acceptance of tough
situations is major trait of sattva oriented people, the finding is surprisingly contrary to the
scriptural references. As per the scriptures, people high on rajas do not antagonize with self-
33
concept, but restrain themselves from moving towards ‘self-actualization’. Hence, the major
Brown and Chatterjee (1999) studied on the relevance of the guṇa theory in the
congruence of Eastern values and Western management practice. They concluded that the
triguṇa theory provides Western management a progressive frame of reference. It takes the
managers from the sort of constraint arising from the negative values through to a dynamic and
harmonic relationhip between the adaption of positive values and purposeful and directional
managerial activity.
Wolf (2000) researched to find the effects of chanting the hare kṛṣṇa
maha-mantra on stress, depression, and the three modes of nature- sattva, rajas and tamas as
described in The Vedas as the basis for human psychology. 62 subjects were personally selected
by advertising the need of the same in a newspaper of South-Eastern university town. With the
average age being 24.63 years, the group comprised of 31 males and 31 females. The tool to
assess stress was – Index of Clinical Stress; tool of depression assessment was – Generalized
Contentment Scale, and the tool to assess the modes of nature, or guṇas, was Vedic Personality
Inventory (VPI). The methodology involved pre-test, post-test, and follow-up, with testing times
group, an alternate mantra group, and also a control group. Subjects in the respective groups
chanted their respective mantras approximately 25 minutes every day. The researcher’s
fabrication of a mantra as the alternate mantra went unnoticed as the subjects in the alternate
group believed it as an authentic vedic-mantra. The initial hypotheses of the study were based on
vedic theory. It stated that the maha-mantra group would increase the sattva component and
decrease stress, and depression, i.e., rajas and tamas, outstandingly more than the other two
groups. The author suggests that the maha-mantra has an inherent clinical value like many other
34
interventions originated in the Eastern traditions meant to treat a potpourri of psychosomatic
diseases.
Wolf and Abell (2003) conducted a study on the effects of chanting the hare kṛṣṇa
maha-mantra on stress, depression, and the three guṇas. The hypothesis of the study were based
on vedic theory, and stated that the maha-mantra group would increase sattva and decrease
stress, depression, rajas and tamas, significantly more than the other two groups. Sixty one
participants with age of 18 to 49 years were tested at pre-test, post-test and follow-up, with
testing times separated by 4 weeks. The author suggests that the maha mantra has potential for
utilization in clinical areas similar to those where other interventions of Eastern origin have been
that the maha mantra be integrated into a spiritual approach to client care in social work and
related fields.
The above approach of testing the effects of chanting on triguṇa and its three aspects on
ineffective in transforming people’s thought process. Such an approach is in fact against the
spirits of the ancient scriptures. When a mantra is chanted without culturing the emotions and
honing the flow of thoughts towards absolute positivity, such chanting is equivalent to doing
nothing. Culturing the emotions and honing the mind to think on positivity without it being
backed up with mantra chanting is still very effective. It is quite dangerous to equate rajas to
Narayanan and Krishnan (2003) took up a research to see the relationship between
triguṇas, karma-yoga and transformational leadership. 105 pairs of managers and subordinates
of a banking organization in India were the samples. Finding shows thus – three components of
the sattva i.e., accepting pain, motivation to work and sympathy intensify the transformational
35
leadership and two components of rajas i.e., attribution and right and wrong lessens the effects
of karma-yoga.
The results are on par with the understanding of triguṇa in the scriptures.
Rastogi (2004) has made an attempt to seek gender and age differences in triguṇa in
relation to seven constructs of Psychological Well Being (PWB) of Carol Ryff. The seven
constructs are viz., Purpose, Autonomy, Personal growth, Positive relationship, Subjective well-
being; Psychological well-being and Quality of Life. The findings state that gender and age-wise
difference exists only in the personality dimension called rajas. Therein, the interactive effect of
the two variables has emerged to be significant. Samples indicate that in the gradation of
domination, rajas and tamas is followed by sattva. tamas is found to be negatively correlated
with all the seven constructs of mental wellbeing. Further, sattva positively correlated with all
the seven constructs of the PWB. The connection of rajas with the seven constructs oscillates
between the two ends of negativity and positivity. tamas yielded significant relation with these
constructs – environment mastery, personal growth, self acceptance and satisfaction with life.
rajas negatively correlated with all the dimensions of PWB inventory out and out. Positive
relationship between sattva and five constructs viz., environmental mastery, personal growth,
purpose in life, satisfaction with life and self acceptance were significant. Thus it concludes the
relationship between sattva and PWB is intrinsic like that of a cloth and the thread.
The results are on par with the understanding of triguṇa in the scriptures.
Gupta (2005) recruited the participants of Hindi certificate course of four months yogic
studies of Bihar Yoga Bharti, Munger into his samples. The sample size of 100 people had 65
males and 35 females. The sampling method was both convenience and purposive sampling. The
subjects were aged between 20 to 50 years. Subjects’ five aspects of personality – Psychoticism
(P), Neuroticism (N), Extroversion (E), Lie (L) and Superstition (S) was measured based on the
36
Hindi adaptation of Eysenck Personality Questionnaire (Adults) as prepared by Thakur and
Takur. Subjects underwent the test once before the yoga practice and once after the yoga
practice. The practice of yoga is beneficial to the mental health especially if one is aiming to
Considering the fact that there are too many traditions of yoga being followed in India, it
is unsure if a particular tradition bore such results or any form of yogic practice results in
lessening the ill effects of neuroticism and psychoticism. Undoubtedly, the tradition as followed
at Munger, Bihar is rājayoga, which is like any other pattern of yoga, connected to the tenets of
triguṇa.
Murthy and Kumar (2007) maintained the conventional view on how there is an intrinsic
relationship between triguṇa and the prakṛti. This paper detailed as to how triguṇa manifests in
behaviour. It did a thorough analysis of sattva, rajas, and tamas based on etymology. It has
extensively surveyed for the information on triguṇa based on the available ancient literatures. It
was basically a conceptual synthesis on how triguṇa is interpreted by ancient scholars and the
modern psychologists.
This work clearly mentions the base fact of triguṇa as “they act together and never exist
in isolation. They interact and compete with each other resulting in preponderance of one over
the other. The degree of predominance of one guṇa determines the individual’s personality
type.”
This work has cleared the path for future investigators. It has also given a map and
marked the territories of each of the three guṇas. However, it lacks the vision of triguṇa as
motives and the purpose of triguṇa i.e., to use triguṇa as a tool to achieve happiness of different
degress.

Kulkarni (2014) estimated the effectiveness of sattva as a tool to enhance overall quality
in individuals. This study was delimited to sattva component of triguṇa. The study was based on
qualitative analysis. Observation and interpretation of the triguṇa component was made initially
by interviewing 11 experts. Further, a few scriptures, books and articles were analyzed which
sattva dominant person was listed at the end of the research. Thus it was concluded stating that
these can be used to teach professionals coming from different backgrounds and disciplines to
The work lacked a concrete methodology. It gathered the traits of sattva on the
assumption that all traits that has a tinge of virtue in it is sattva. The books, articles and other
sources of gathering those traits were unrestrained and random. Thus the dearth of empiricism
Kewalramani (2014) conducted a research on triguṇa and anger. The results revealed a
positive correlation between triguṇa and anger. Anger here was in reference to both as a trait and
state. sattva showed that it can neutralize the anger, hence they correlated negatively. rajas was
positively correlated to state anger and trait anger. Whereas, the tamas was positively higly
correlated with state anger in specific. It also aimed to see the gender difference in terms of trait
The research by not defining anger has contributed to ill-defining of triguṇa. While,
anger is a trait under rajas and wrath as a trait under tamas, it is apt to say indignation is a trait
under sattva. All the three being shades of triguṇa, it is justified anger in different intensities is a
Patil (2014) tried to comprehend the effect of yoga on the participants of yoga personality
development camp. It was a pre-post design with control group. 200 samples were aged between
38
8 and 12 years. Experimental group contained 46 boys and 54 girls, whereas control group had
52 boys and 48 girls. Experimental group practiced integral yoga module, while the control
group remained with their routine that excluded yoga specifically. suśruta child personality
inventory was administered on both the groups before and after 10 days of the camp. Mann-
Whitney U test and Wilcoxon Signed Ranks Test were applied as well. Thus the result revealed a
sharp increase in sattva amongst the experimental group children and simultaneousy a sharp
decrease of rajas and tamas. The researcher also suggests that such a study and practice of yoga
This work broadly defines triguṇa as a collection of traits of different effects. It suggests
the practice of yoga in preventing psychological diseases. The practice as suggested is quite
Betal (2015) attempted to investigate if triguṇa played any role at all in framing of a
personality theory. The study which was theoretical in nature concluded that triguṇa does play a
unmarried adults aged between 21 and 30. Two questionnaires were prepared to assess triguṇa
and social support. The tool to assess social support was an abridged version of the original isel.
The four kinds of support asessed here were – informative support, tangible support, self-esteem
support and emotional support. The results states a positive correlation between sattva and social
support received by such people. In the case of rajas the positive correlation is much lower to
sattva. However, people of --- disposition also receive fairly a great amount of social support. In
the case of tamas there was a negative correaltion with social support.
39
This approach of the researcher is also new in the existing list of research literatures.
People with higher disposition of sattva do receive greater social support as they particpate
vibrantly in the society for the welfare of many. People with high disposition of rajas also
receive greater suport from the society but, it is much limited when compared to sattva dominant
people. The reason is quite explicit as both forms of people share a greater relationship with the
society for different reasons. If sattva dominant people have a very expansive and all inclusive
picture of the society, people dominant with rajas are very much selected in whom they choose
and what benefits they derive from such ones. They are good to people they receive reciprocation
from in terms of whatever they shell out. sattva people mingle with others for the sake of it and
not just to receive good vibes and wishes in return. They are quite courageous enough to be stoic
and also not be bothered about receiving bad or bitter results in exchange to all the good they do
to others.
2.3 Conclusion:
Thus it can be concluded that none of the researchers in the past have seen triguṇa as
three motives. Neither has there been any effort to see the root of human personality as desire,
nor has there been any attempts to connect the personality to its end i.e., the happiness. triguṇa
devoid of such fundamental construct is incomplete and a terrain ill travelled. Thus to
consolidate, the primary variables of the theory, i.e, the desire and the happiness, assesses
Though, triguṇa is a path frequently visited and beaten and hence proximately familiar,
yet, triguṇa’s depth of field is such that it provokes this obvious question –
40
“Is triguṇa, as addressed by many researchers, elaborated in the spirit of its traditional
meaning?”
The answer is ‘yes’. But, the elaboration lacks the rigour of accuracy and an extensive
vision.
1. triguṇa was understood on the ground of doubts. Doubts were pertaining to what triguṇa
should be understood as –
a) A typology?
b) A behavioural tendency?
c) A collection of traits?
d) A value system?
2. All theories will have its own framework of cause and effect. However, none of the
previous works showed any hints of providing cause and effect framework existing
behind triguṇa.
4. All the existing work lack a common definition which is a primary criterion to define any
work.
5. More importantly, some (Datar, 2014) have chosen the scriptures of Ayurveda to define
triguṇa and have blended the same with the works of other Indian thoughts systems. The
premise upon which Ayurveda works is in totality different from every other Indian
thought systems. Though it has its roots in the Indian thought systems, the interpretation
41
of popular terms is done as per the convenience of their system of health and pathology.
For Ex., sattva is defined as Mind in Ayurveda. The very popular 16 types of triguṇa as
defined by Ayurveda are outright traits. It can be understood so by looking into the
meaning of the 16 types which are but a set of behavioural patterns of individuals under
uttaramīmāṁsā and sāṅkhya. There are seven kinds of sattva, six kinds of rajas and three kinds
of tamas.
praitasattva, śakunasattva.
The Ayurveda has also used the word sattva as mind. This scripture does not demean any
metaphysical experiences, but, unlike the uttaramīmāṁsā and sāṅkhya, it deems sattva itself as a
state of equilibrium and harmony. Herein, these 16 types are more or less used as traits.
Apparently they seem to be redundant at places. It is quite ambiguous as well at places. The
claim it makes to put all of the human personality in this list of 16 is tall, as it has certain
shortcomings. This scripture is distinct for one reason as they see rajas and tamas as causal of
psychotic and neurotic diseases. As per Ayurveda, rajas and tamas are characterized by traits
which are oriented towards greater degrees of self-interest. The greater the intensity of
exaggerated views of self, one is prone to mental diseases. According to the Ayurvedic
42
text, caraka-saṁhitā (sūtrasthana, chapter 1, sutras, 57), rajas and tamas are considered as
mental dośas (defects). sattva is considered as a state of equilibrium. Furthermore, the sutra 58
says mental disorders can be overcome by right knowledge, boldness, memory and yogic
practices like samādhi. In chapter 11, sūtra 47 stresses moderation in life-style as therapy for
All said and done, the description of Ayurveda can be taken without discounting its
original meaning, as they have rooted the concept of triguṇa with traits for a specific purpose.
Ayurveda being the science of longevity, posit triguṇa in the context of tridośa, which they
consider as the fundamentals of understanding human body and the diseases associated with the
same. tridośa also postulates certain personality types independently and also in association with
triguṇa. Hence, the trait factor behind triguṇa is justifiable and is not contradictory to the ancient
6. No work till date has related triguṇa to the primary goal of the personality as understood
in Indian traditions. This lacuna is also seen in the western constructs. A personality
theory that is devoid of the definition on what every individual wants is travesty of a
concept.

METHODOLOGY
This work aimed at developing a tool to assess the individuals based on the concept of
triguṇa and its implications on the individuals. The methodology followed is presented in this

sources.
The work involved textual study and also the developing of a tool using the principles of
psychological test construction. Hence, it has employed a mixed method design or model
involving the principles of both qualitative and quantitative research methodologies, such as –

3.3.1 Data Mining:
Data Mining is a data processing using sophisticated data search capabilities and
statistical algorithms to discover patterns and correlations in large preexisting databases; a way
However, after consulting IT professionals and people from academia, it was understood that the
data-mining is possible only when the data available online is adequately spread across a variety
of web sources. With triguṇa being constrained to mere journals and a few websites that gave

The phase one gave a distinct picture of triguṇa and its relation with human behaviour at
a conceptual level.
In order to understand how they manifest on a day to day basis, certain stories from
books were read, which had the below mentioned qualities. The theme of the books – ‘inspiring
stories’ and ‘collections of nuggets’ intended to offer a perspective to life that can enrich one’s

abilities to handle certain situations and enhance certain emotions that can strengthen one’s
emotional intelligence. These did indirectly help in preparing the items of the tool –
traits.

4. Those which were a portrayal of different cultural perspectives of the East and the West.
5. Those which were non-fictional and not inclined to any particular genre like horror,
Apart from these stories, the researcher had made notes of the experiences as gathered
right from the childhood days. If some were used for understanding triguṇa, some were

Before providing more details to understand the work of phase 2, it is apt here to
differentiate the three words used herein frequently – Dimension, Aspect and Component.
Dimension here is a broad, objective and quantifiable construct of personality, which are
five in nature, viz., Physical, Vital, Vacillant, Sagacious and Spiritual. These dimensions are
Aspect here is a manifestation of sattva, rajas and tamas in cognition, affect and
connation. They also can be related to the above mentioned five dimensions.

3.4.2 Tool items and the ancient scriptures – A synthesis:
Throughout the research work, a tinge of ancient Indian identity, as drawn from the

of five dimensions of personality as these – physical, vital, vacillant, sagacious and spiritual.
Man’s variety of instincts like hunger, thirst, sexual desires, sleep, exercise, Etc., can be
Vital dimension apparently means Man’s breath. Inherently, it means life force which is
Man’s thought process vacillates between decisions and indecisions, voluntariness and
involuntariness, perception of truth and illusions, life and death and so on. This state of being
indecisive extends from the complex problems of life to handling of untimely and unforeseen
crisis. Thus all the aspects of personality which falls under such uncertainties in terms of purpose
and the action to be undertaken, are called as vacillant dimension. As per ādi śaṅkara this state
manaḥ).
Man consistently aims at a disentangling himself from the clutches of being unsettled.
The feeling of settled creeps into the thought process of a man, when he has more answers and
less questions. When this feeling of definiteness across multiple spheres of life becomes an
indivisible part of his existence, his focus sustains for a prolonged period. All thought process
48
which depicts his maximum clarity in different spheres of life come under Sagacious
Dimension. As per ādi śaṅkara this state is defined as a state of no uncertainties. (niścayātmikā
buddhiḥ).
Man’s journey of life is such that it undergoes development in terms of emotions and
intelligence, as and when he gains experiences of different intensities. Some experiences enrich
him and refine him in terms of manners and tastes he chooses to identify himself with. While a
few others drag him back to animalistic instincts that are oriented to satisfying merely the
physical drives and appetites. However, those thoughts which are marked by equilibrium and
make him traverse on the path of self-actualization and thereby raise him from a barbaric state
and physicality state of existence are all united under Spiritual dimension.
The misconception majorly revolves around the third and fourth dimensions. The
Sanskrit terms are loosely translated as emotional and intellectual. However, neither the
authoritative commentators nor the bearers of ancient scriptures have interpreted the two
dimensions of personality as emotional and intellectual. Sadly, both the words as translated today
Thus the researcher arrived at this conclusion, that, triguṇa expresses itself in any given
If ancient wisdom is true, any measurable aspect of the personality can be invariably
49
Thus phase two began with these –
a) Situations were drawn from stories and personal experiences. Those were converted as
c) Finally, the aspects of personality chosen to be assessed were cherry picked from
bhagavadgītā.
The bhagavadgītā has extended treatment to some aspects of personality which can be
measured on the scale of triguṇa. If the chapters 14, 17 and 18 have received the highest
treatment, the others have in the right context been given due attention and thus aspects of
Across 18 chapters the conversation between kṛṣṇa and arjuna has happened mainly at
the levels of duties, devotion, and knowledge (both transcendental and psychological) and the
necessary traits to approach the three. This work has omitted all words related to transcendental
knowledge and picked only those related to teaching of the Lord in terms of duty and devotions
and their psychological implications. Those personality psychological aspects are listed here in
table 3.1 –
As an example to the above, an illustration is given below from the tool developed (See
a) In the above illustration, the food consumption pattern of individuals’ is assessed. Right
consumption (as put forth by bhagavadgītā) is assessed with the help of pañcakośa’s
51
Similarly, in yet another situation health and fitness aspect of an individual is assessed.
However, it is imperative to understand that none of the dimensions amongst the five
viz., Physical, Vital, Vacillant, Sagacious and Spiritual are exclusive. Hence, the approach one
has towards food and fitness has a bearing on mind and other dimensions of the personality as
well.
There are 25 aspects of a personality which are measured herein using these
situations/items as a tool. As previously told, these 25 aspects of personality are broadly put
under different shades of 5 major dimensions of personality called – physical, vital, vacillant,
Yes. Listed below are the reasons behind cherry picking 25 aspects –
1) Each of these 25 aspects had the potential to succinctly examine the behavioral
tendencies individuals had acquired in different phases of life. Thus making the tool
2) To avoid the all too familiar obstacle most of the psychological tools face – Social
Desirability Factor. It is well known that people crave to present to the world the best
part of their existence. Testing dimensions like sleep, truthfulness, joyfulness etc.,
would have provoked people to portray their pleasant side. To avoid the pitfalls
emerging from SDF, certain aspects were omitted, over these 25.
3) These 25 aspects explicitly entail umpteen traits, if not all, and thereby effectively
52
The aspects assessed and as used in the tool are listed below in table 3.2.
In the list below, the word ‘approach’ should be prefixed to each aspect. This pinpoints
an individual’s approach towards a particular aspect. Approach eventually hints at the resultant
Approach to –
PHYSICAL – annamayakośa
1. Acquiring physical and mental fitness.
2. Cleanliness
3. Consumption of Consumption of Consumption of Food
4. Intercourse
VITAL - prāṇamayakośa
1. Theism/Atheism
MENTAL – manomayakośa
1. Adjustment mechanism
2. Conformity
3. Donation
4. Emotionality – Advantageous Situations
5. Emotionality – Unfavourable Situations
6. Relinquishment
7. Sense of Aestheticism
8. Sociability
SAGACIOUS – vijñānamayakośa
1. Assertiveness
2. Equitability
3. Freewill
4. Moral Ambiguity
5. Objectivity
6. Realism
7. Responsible Situations
8. Self-Confidence
SPIRITUAL – ānandamayakośa
1. Celebration
2. Elimination of Fear or Fearlessness
3. Self-Actualization
4. Stoicism
53
Considering the fact that the vacillant dimension is ruled by moods, situations and vacillating
belief systems, the list as shown above has more to do with the subjective behaviours of every
individual.
Considering the fact that the sagacious dimension is ruled by fixed principles of life and a
great amount of clarity, purpose and seriousness an individual has attached to life, it focuses
more on objective behaviours of any given individual. Hence, the aspects chosen and listed
Cleanliness as chosen here is only in terms of physical hygiene. Other form of hygiene in
Vitality as seen by ancient scriptures is in reference to breath at a gross level and the life
force at a subtle level. The tool considers the subtle aspect only. Vital dimension of a personality
is the ability to appreciate the existence of a force that is common to all, yet individualistic to
each. Hence, atheism and theism are mentioned under vital dimension.
It was decided to adopt a Situation Sampling Method (SSM) (Zechmeister et all, 1998)
format because the test had to encompass situations that were lively and engaging.
Simultaneously, the situations had to be capable of drawing people to the tool more

SSM is adapted in a way that suits the current study. In this study, 25 different situations
were presented as statements, related to abovementioned 25 aspects of the personality. Then, the
respondents are required to imagine how they would respond to each of them.
In order to facilitate their responding for each of these situations, nine alternative ways of
responding were provided. These nine alternatives were based on the permutation and
Here the current work has not taken the SSM technique as it is. It has been modified to
suit the necessities of the present research. Instead of taking different situations as the primary
variable of the study, we have created a predefined situation. The different ways of responding
by the people as determined by the triguṇa is our primary variable and concern.
a) SSM supported the use of lively and engaging situations, rather than the monotonous
the fear of what is right and what is not right. Thus this paves way to minimize social
c) If questions appear intimidating and probing, situations are soothing and provokes the
d) SSM also is close to the majority of the populations’ natural thought process as people
imagine themselves in situations to understand both the crisis and the crux of life. Man
naturally being curious and observant, observes and understands the world naturally
through the situations. Hence, the ability of the participants to connect with the situations
is more innate.
The situations were put in statement forms. The statements were visualized in a way that
it captures the imagination of the participant. Neither too short, nor too long the statements
depicting the situations, were meant to elaborate the key words and themes behind each situation.
However, the 25 situations would be rendered meaningful only if each situation were
capable of presenting 9 alternatives to respond. As discussed in the previous chapters, the three
components of triguṇa do not exhibit itself as one entity. Each of the three components is one
motive towards an action or a means towards happiness. Very rarely can there be only one
motive behind a particular action. Most of the human actions generally have two motives,
56
Hence considering the three motives and their coexistence as two at a particular time of
1. Entirely sattva.
6. Entirely rajas.
9. Entirely tamas.
This methodology of attaching nine alternatives responses to each question, not only
provides one motive or two motives as the basis to every particular action, but it also sets out to
The methodology gave a lead to complex network of subconscious thoughts. As per the
scriptures, man is what he is in terms of the expressions of his subsidiary motive than what
primary motive he expresses. Though an attempt is in place to unravel the subconscious or the
unconscious, in the longer term this will be further simplified and defined precisely.
At the last stage of structuring the tool, the responses were placed on a five point Likert
scale from ‘Totally Agree’, ‘Agree’, ‘Neutral’, to ‘Disagree’ and ‘Totally Disagree’. This being
a conventional method was chosen to ease the pattern of response. Though ‘yes’ or ‘no’ binary
responses were much simpler, the accuracy of their response would have been less captured. In
order to captivate their responses in entirety, the five point scale was adapted.
57
3.5.4 Expert Feedback:
This structured tool was judged with respect to the appropriateness and suitability of the
situations and the response alternatives in relation to the 25 aspects and the triguna, by five
independent judges, who included – three Sanskrit scholars proficient in English and two
Psychologists familiar with the research on the triguna. They agreed upon the content and the
arrangement of the items and other components of the tool. They suggested simplification of the
language used and also suggested to make items (situations) more realistic. Based on their
feedback, the wordings of the statements and the response alternatives were modified and
re-written. The content was satisfactory to the judges when they reviewed the corrected version.
Once the items were prepared the same were discussed with English professors to check if the
The tool was administered to a small group of friends and acquaintances to get further
feedback on the ease of understanding of the statements and the response alternatives. This step
contained mainly 15 people who were close to the researcher. As they were prepared to answer
the tool without any inhibition, such samples provided these insights –

A random and a convenient sampling procedure was used for data collection. However,
the data was collected from different regions of the country. If samples from Karnataka and
Bangalore are very high, some belong to Hyderabad, Nagpur, Mumbai and Delhi. Researcher
spent 25 days travelling to many regions of Karnataka. This helped the researcher to gather data
from people belonging to tier 2 and tier 3 cities as well. These cities understandably were less
sophisticated and people were more at peace with their life style and thereby bereft of fancy
The complete procedure of collecting data took 7 months. The methods employed to do

spiritual organization were contacted before they were exposed to the preliminary course.

assembling on the weekdays in a particular place to help each other in staying physically,
h) A fitness company’s yoga and gym teachers close to 60 people belonging to different
branches spread across India participated all at once on the International Yoga Day held
i) Majority of the college children and the teachers of different gradations belong to a
private University in Bangalore, as the researcher also works in the same place.
j) Considering the fact that almost all the corporate companies have changed their protocols
and are against such practices of administering such tests during the working hours, they
60
have sought anonymity of their identity. Researcher’s close association with a corporate
giant helped gain access to people from different companies and of different profiles.
k) Participants who belong to a variety of working classes and also to lower strata of the
social ladder were gathered at a construction site of a reputed civil engineering company
belonging to researcher’s family member. Here the participants were explained each item
In all, the tool was administered on 2300 persons who hailed from all walks of life. Out
of them 446 persons had ill-filled the booklet and hence they were rejected and were not
included in final analysis. The data of the remaining 1854 participants was included for further
analysis. These participants represented the following occupations and hence the sample was
quite heterogeneous. The age of the participants ranged between 15 and 75.

The mean and standard deviation of the age of the demographic data – Table – 3.6:
The triguṇa scale is based on three components of sattva, rajas and tamas. However, it
does not end with three, as the three when combined and permuted becomes 9. Therefore, it can
be told that this SSM tool has nine components or variables that assess the different dimensions
represented either as an exclusive and pure expression of – sattva (Altruism), rajas (Hedonism)
and tamas (Sadism) or a permutation and combination of any two of them. Thus it resulted in
The nine ways of responding were arranged as per the Omnibus technique across 25
situation statements so that the alternatives presented do not occur in the same order in all the
Answering all the nine options was mandatory. Further, the participants were asked to rate their
responses on a five point scale from ‘Totally Agree’, ‘Agree’, ‘Neutral’, to ‘Disagree’ and
‘Totally Disagree’.
Their answers based on the five options were assigned a value and rated as 5, 4, 3, 2
1. The highest 5 was assigned to totally agree and the least 1 was assigned to totally
disagree.
Further, based on the insights of the ancient scriptures, ‘each’ of the nine response
alternatives was assigned a weight from 9 to 1. Amongst the nine, sattva (ES)
received the highest weight of nine (9). As per the Indian scriptures, the journey of
human life becomes more refined, cultured and enlightening by moving towards
altruism or selflessness. This happens when there is an upsurge of sattva. The sattva
tamas (CST) received seven (7). In the above combinations sattva is predominant,
unlike the next set of combinations. If the combination of rajas and sattva (CRS)
received six (6), the combination of tamas and sattva (CTS) received five (5). In all
70
the above mentioned five cases, sattva either was in entirety, or was predominant or
In the gradation, rajas in entirety is much lower as it lacks any quotient of sattva,
whatsoever. Hence, rajas (ER) received a weight of four (4). Further, rajas in
combination of tamas (CRT) received three (3) and tamas, though being on the
Thus the overall scores of all twenty five aspects of each of the nine response alternatives
were first computed. That resulted in nine raw scores for each response alternative for each
participant.
Further the totals of each of these raw scores for each participant were multiplied with
those nine assigned weights mentioned above (9 to 1). This resulted in what we call ‘weighted
The WRS for each of the nine response alternatives for all the 1854 participants were
used to compute T-scores with M = 50 and SD = 50, and then to the respective percentiles based
on the frequency distribution of the scores thus providing nine tables for interpreting the scores.
Scores were classified into the following four categories based on the insights of
distribution and percentile equivalent of the scores on the AHS scale into consideration.
Dispersed (vicchinna), Diluted (tanu) and Dormant (prasupta). Dominant reflects superior scores
and dispersed reflects high-average, diluted reflects average and dormant reflects inferior.

3.8 RELIABILITY AND VALIDITY:
In order to examine the reliability and validity of the developed tool, it was administered
to two separate groups consisting of 200 persons each, along with the IAS Rating Scale
(Mathew, 1995) and Eysenck Personality Questionnaire (H.J. Eysenck and Eysenck, 1975).
IAS Rating Scale is popular to have gathered very balanced views of triguṇa as a
concept. The most positive aspect about the whole work is the way 35 aspects of personality are
gathered. AHS Scale similarly had considered 25 aspects of the personality and was in sync with
the majority of the principles of the IAS Rating Scale if not with all. Hence, IAS Rating Scale
The IAS scale of Mathew (1995) is also a measure of sattva, rajas, and tamas. It
measures the degree of Inertia (tamas), Activation (rajas) and Stability (sattva) in an individual.
The scale can be used for rating one’s own personality or the personality of another person. The
test consists of thirty five (35) subscales. Each scale has three sets of descriptions or qualities
designated by the letters I, A and S. The thirty five (35) subscales as measured by the IAS scale
are – Activity level, energy, speed and accuracy, punctuality, perspective, mentality, risk taking,
temperament, courage, approach to life, motivation, adjustment, emotionality, will, rights and
duties, leadership, assertiveness, anger, fairness, relation to people, relation to possessions, self-
concept, values, aggression, attitude to strangers, sociability, speech making, opposite sex,
72
Table – 3.7: Sample distribution of N=200 on the demographic variables gender, marital
status, food habits, employment status and education qualification with M and SD age.
In the case of triguṇa, the nine aspects hold some resemblance to EPQ. Eysenck’s theory
is founded on the principles of physiology and genetics. Albeit he being a behaviorist who
accentuates on the habits derived from variety of learned habits, he also regards the fact that
personality differences are hardwired in our genes. His primary inclination is in and around the
“The typical extravert is sociable, likes parties, has many friends, needs to have people
to talk to, and does not like reading or studying himself. He craves excitement, takes chances,
often sticks his neck out, acts on the spur of the moment, and is generally impulsive individual.
He is fond of practical jokes, always has ready answer and generally likes change; he is carefree,
easy going, optimistic, and likes to “laugh and be merry.” He prefers to keep moving and doing
73
things, tends to be aggressive and lose his temper easily; altogether his feelings are not kept
under light control, and he is not always a reliable person.” (Hall, Lindzey & Campbell, 2011, p.
370)
“The typical introvert is a quiet, retiring sort of person, introspective, fond of books
rather than people; he is reserved and distant except to intimate friends. He tends to plan ahead,
“looks before he leaps” and distrusts the impulse of the moment. He does not like excitement,
takes matters of everyday life with proper seriousness, and likes a well-ordered mode of life. He
keeps his feelings under close control, seldom behaves in an aggressive manner, and does not
lose his temper easily. He is reliable, somewhat pessimistic, and places great value on ethical
standards.” (H.J. Eysenck and Eysenck, 1975, p.5) (Hall, Lindzey & Campbell, 2011, p. 371)
The fact that extraversion is significantly correlating (.260) with ET of triguṇa concept is
suggestive of the susceptible nature of extraverts to a shift from pleasure seeking to sadism. This
is an expression of learning habits. Many people are subjected to pleasures of different intensities
for a considerably long period of life. If such people lose command over that particular life style,
suddenly, when they feel incapable of getting the pleasures at ease, they might resort to sadistic
3.8.4 Neuroticism:
“The typical high N scorer as being an anxious, worrying individual, moody and
frequently depressed. He is likely to sleep badly, and to suffer from various psychosomatic
disorders. He is overly emotional, reacting too strongly to all sorts of stimuli, and finds it
difficult to get back on an even keel after each emotionally arousing experience. His strong
emotional reactions interfere with his proper adjustment, making him react in irrational,
sometimes rigid ways…. If the high N individuals has to be described in one word, one might
74
say that he is a worrier; his main characteristic is constant preoccupation with the things that
might go wrong, and a strong emotional reaction of anxiety to these thoughts. The stable
individual, on the other hand, tends to respond emotionally only slowly and generally weakly,
and to return to baseline quickly after emotional arousal; he is usually calm, even-tempered,
controlled and unworried.” (H. J. Eysenck & Eysenck, 1975, p.5) (Hall, Lindzey & Campbell,
2011, p. 371)
Similarly, Neuroticism also has positively and highly significantly correlated with ET
(.166) and ER (.139). As mentioned earlier, people driven by the motives of hedonism and
sadism are insecure of losing their approaches of attaining happiness. In the pretext of
safeguarding them, they expose themselves to high intensity of nervousness and anxiety. Thus
3.8.5 Psychoticism:
“A high scorer, then, may be described as being solitary, not caring for people; he is
often troublesome, not fitting in anywhere. He may be cruel and inhumane, lacking in feeling
and empathy, and altogether insensitive. He is hostile to others, even his own kith and kin, and
aggressive, even to loved ones. He has a liking for odd and unusual things, and a disregard for
danger; he likes to make fools of other people, and to upset them. This is a description of adult
high P scores; as far as children are concerned, we obtain a fairly congruent picture of an odd,
isolated troublesome child; glacial and lacking in human feelings for his fellow-beings and for
animals; aggressive and hostile, even to near and dear ones. Such children try to make up for
lack of feeling by indulging in sensation-seeking “arousal jags”, without thinking of the dangers
involved. Socialization is a concept which is relatively alien to both adults and children;
empathy, feelings of guilt, sensitivity to other people are notions which are strange and
unfamiliar to them” (H. J. Eysenck & Eysenck, 1975, p.5-6) (Hall, Lindzey & Campbell, 2011).
75
In order to examine the relation between sattva, rajas, and tamas and Eysenck’s personality
dimensions the AHS scale and EPQ were administered to 200 persons, who did not participate in
the main study. Below are the basic details of the participants.

CHAPTER – 4
The results of the validity and reliability are found here. This gives a comprehensive
picture of how reliable and valid the scale was in itself and in the context of other scales. This
also provides a background to understand the worthiness of undertaking research on triguṇa and

In terms of reliability, the tables 3.13 and 3.14 suggest that Cronbach’s Alpha co-efficient
for the AHS scale over the 225 items of the scale is 0.85 and on the split half test is 0.889 for part
1, i.e. ES, CSR, CST, CRS and CTS and 0.815 for part 2 – ER, CRT, CTR and ET in the split
half reliability test. As mentioned earlier since the Cronbach’s Alpha is above 0.8 levels the
reliability of the scale. Here the value for the equal length was found to be 0.933 and that of
unequal length was found to be 0.934 thus predicting high reliability. The Guttman Split-half
78
coefficient when computed was thus 0.645. The high level of correlation indicates that the scale
is highly reliable. The test has high internal consistency and hence reliable.

In terms of validity, the correlations obtained between the nine scales of AHS Scale and
four subscales of EPQ (Table 4.6) indicate that the two tools are assessing the humanity broadly
and to some extent on similar grounds. The Extraversion positively correlates with ET. This
positively correlates with ER and ET, which is distinctly displaying the fact that people with high
pleasure seeking and sadistic qualities are susceptible to psychotic disorders as narrated by
Eysenck. Further, N subscale of EPQ positively and significantly correlates with ER and ET
The obtained data was analyzed using Pearson Product-Moment Correlation. The

According to Cohen (1988), a Pearson Correlation of less than 0.1 shows very low
correlation and implies low validity. A value of 0.03 is considered acceptable as the minimum

Only the Activation score of IAS scale significantly correlates negatively with weighted
raw scores of AHS scale – ESW, CSRW, CRSW, CRTW. Only CRSW correlates positively
significantly with Stability. Inertia scores do not show significant correlations with AHS scores
of nine components. The fact that Activation scores have shown negative correlations with all
the nine components of sattva, rajas and tamas, of AHS scale, of which four are statistically
significant, and Inertia and Stability scores have positive correlations, though not statistically
significant, with the eight of the nine components implies that the two tools are assessing the
The standardized data was converted to percentile scores using Z-Scores and T-Scores of
the Weighted Totals of the 9 variables. These scores can be used to interpret the raw data of the
scale users and it can also be used to compare the scores with various reference groups. Norms
were generated for general populations, gender (Male and Female) and age groups (Less than 20,
20-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60 and above). The details of the norms are presented in appendix

CHAPTER – 5
In the methodology chapter the content was bifurcated as ‘work in phase one’ and ‘work
in phase two’. Similarly the discussion here will be based on the same logic.
5.1 Phase – 1
Considering the humongous scriptures available in the ancient India, distinguishing them
between good, bad and ugly was a task in itself. Interpolation as found in the ancient Indian
courtesy the ability of interpolators to replicate the style and content of the original author. For
instance, in case of mahābhārata, many Sanskrit verses elaborating triguṇa were so disoriented
and deviated from the true spirit of the entire gamut of ancient Indian scriptures.
Hence, to evade the futility of referring to all the books in entirety, the search was
maneuvered thus –
1. To simplify the search of the word and the concept – triguṇa, scriptures as listed in
chapter three were first referred in the context of ‘subject index’ and ‘topic index’.
2. Apart from the word triguṇa, the three components of the same – sattva, rajas and tamas
were listed.
3. Further, the context of the same was verified. As triguṇa is popularly used to connate
4. The scriptures denoting macrocosm were grouped and compared to verify if they really
meant to convey macrocosm. The parameter to do the same was check if the word
triguṇa was used to explain cosmology or the genesis of the universe. triguṇa used in
91
5. triguṇa when was used to describe either of the following was considered –
c. To measure aspects of personality under the categories of sattva, rajas and tamas.
Ex., In places like bhāgavata and bhagavadgītā, certain aspects like austerity,
Vedic literatures were searched for three words viz., black, red and white. The purpose of
the same was to search if these were equated symbolically to tamas, rajas and sattva
respectively. Majority of the Vedic scriptures for unknown reasons have limited the usage of the
word triguṇa in terms of these colours. Further these colours were at places used to denote Earth,
Fire and Water elements. Hence, discretion was used to compartmentalize the colour coding
rāmāyaṇa known to be the most poetic of the lot in the ancient Indian lore has used the
word - triguṇa in terms of numeric and not as a personality aspect. This being an exception, all
other ancient scriptures have used them to depict both genesis and personality.
mahābhārata was the first amongst the many scriptures to use the word umpteen number
of times, especially to define personality and the auxiliary aspects. However, the definition of the
behavioural patterns in terms of duality like stealing and non-stealing, love and hatred Etc. The
92
same canto also deals with putting the dual elements and the shades of the same under sattva,
The search was extended to darśanas like sāṅkhyakārikā yogasūtra and brahmasūtra. It
did help find some insights, but they were either already gathered in the previously read
The search was also furthered to the aphorism, poetry and prose based literatures such as
obtained.
nāṭyaśāstra of bharatamuni related to the art of dance and drama was also referred. It
mahābhāratha from historical, psychological and philosophical perspectives was referred to. The
author sheds some light which are his personal views, rather than borrowing anything from the
history directly. This was just like any other research literature.
If Vedas were symbolic in the way they explained the triguṇa, upaniṣats were explicit
If rāmāyaṇa was bereft of the concept triguṇa in totality, mahābhāratha was lavish in
elaborating the same. The definition of sattva, rajas and tamas which are the three indivisible
aspects of triguṇa appeared misleading in mahābhāratha. Interestingly, it was the same scripture

in some sections researcher was helped to unearth and excavate the deepest of the thought
bhāgavata though failed to elicit any new thoughts about the concept it reinforced the
concept to be logical and coherently committed to the defining of the nature and the self.
bhagavadgītā and its depth of the analysis with regards to understanding triguṇa has
chiefly formed to be the basis of creating this research. Any novelty in this work is duly credited
All darśanas contributed to the development of the tool in a way that it showed how
Accessorial scriptures were less helpful for the researcher to arrive at a consensus about
was a little too incongruous in the way it was structured both as a scripture and also a source of
legitimate knowledge to comprehend the glory of ancient Indian heritage and its inherent
psychological wealth.
The psychologically operational features of triguṇa like traits, states, emotions, value
system Etc., had been culled out by different sources. When the discussion cropped up as to what
along with the motive should the nine aspects assess of an individual – whether traits or states or
emotions or value system or something else, it was concluded that traits were fittingly suiting
This is how the three are different from each other. Traits can be seen as habitual
patterns of behaviour, thought and emotions. Emotions are complex state of feeling that
generally results in physical and psychological changes that influence thought and behaviour.
States can be termed as a mental condition which stays for a particular period. It consists of
wavering wavelike emotions. When states creep into an individual, they are defined as traits.
94
The reason to zero in on traits was simply because traits were more stable and less
fleeting when compared to other aspects like emotions and states. Further the set of traits put into
practice for a brief period makes a man own a particular value system or is branded to be so.
When indistinctness amongst the three viz., emotions, states and value system were removed,
But, putting traits under sattva, rajas and tamas respectively was a challenge. As each
trait rendered a particular meaning as per the situation, each trait was pliable to be deemed fit
This conundrum helped the researchers to arrive at a conclusion that triguṇa has to be
redefined. When triguṇa was redefined, the researchers came to this position that ‘the triguṇa
happiness’.
To consolidate the above discussion, it can be stated so – man resorts to a variety of traits
believing it to cause him a growth and happiness. Growth and happiness are subjectively defined
and hence they are very unique to each and are based on one’s own previous experiences.
However, potentially each trait and the resultant behaviour is consistent in terms of effect. If
some traits are sadistic in nature, some are hedonistic and the rest are altruistic, as explained in
Consequently, when each trait was brought under the framework of motives, it followed
through its course of action of being fit under three broad aspects of triguṇa.
For Ex. if anger is an emotion, being angry is a trait. To assess an angry man is not the
purpose of triguṇa, on the contrary the motive behind one’s anger is the purpose.
95
Hence, anger serves its purpose under all the three aspects of triguṇa, thus –
5.8 Phase 2:
The outcome of the development and the standardization of the scale is discussed here
One possible interpretation that appears to explain the direction of correlations - negative
correlation of Activation with AHS scores and positive correlation of Inertia and Stability,
the description of Activation, it is extraverted orientation. On the other hand, Inertia and Stability
have an underlying introversion tendency, though one is unstable and the other stable. Taken
together, AHS scale tends to reflect more of introversion, which has the element of heightened
self-consciousness. In fact, the respondents have frequently reported their feelings of heightened
self-awareness. Many of the situations even rekindled their previous experiences. The three
significant negative correlations of AHS components with Activation involving sattva and its
combination with rajas suggests that Activation as described in IAS is indicating instability
associated with rajas as manifested in transaction with the external world. On the other hand,
though not statistically significant, the direction of correlation between Inertia and Stability
being positive with AHS components, could imply some kind of stability either as an expression
Psychoticism also positively and highly significantly correlated with ET (.257) and ER
(.161). People with hedonistic and sadistic drives are insecure for losing their position of
happiness. Their positions of happiness do not come to them naturally. They extract them either
by force or by exaggerating their existence. Such is the effects of force and self-aggrandizement,
Lie scale is positively with ET aspect and thus adequately proving their traits of
The obtained significant correlations between the scales of AHS and of EPQ thus indicate
that persons with rājasic and tāmasic nature tend to be extraverted, and also possibly have high
neurtoicism and psychoticism scores on EPQ and prone to respond in a socially desirable way to
Since AHS Scale is developed primarily from a motivational point of view, it can be said
that all the three – extraversion, neuroticism, and psychoticism – are related to hedonism (rajas)
and sadism (tamas). rajas leads to searching of pleasure outside and deriving the pleasure
chiefly, by being accepted by the society. People high on the quotient of rajas seek the approval
of the society for every action they perform. Their excitation is ‘to be alert’, in terms of ‘being
socially relevant’. However, the flip side of it being, that, this in longer terms has the capability
to push such individuals to the brink of neuroticism, as the fear of being unaccepted or being less
relevant in the eyes of society makes them nervous. Their pleasures of life are focused on, in
being par with established social norms, irrespective of their correctness and incorrectness.
The tamas in people will drive them to be detrimental to the growth of the self and the
development of the society. Neuroticism and psychoticism as spoken in the Eysenck’s theory
97
talks about the damage it can cause to self. The degree of damage as explained is perhaps less in
terms of society. Here, sadism is basal to the understanding of a weak and unstable society also.
The introversion pole of E-I dimension of EPQ can be understood with reference to
sattva, though not as Altruism per se. In the study where AHS Scale and IAS Rating Scale of
Mathew (1995), which is also a measure of triguṇa concept, we found that both I (Inertia –
tamas) and S (Stability – sattva) scores correlated positively with the nine components of AHS
Scale, though the values were not statistically significant, except in one component. Similarly, it
was found that A (Activation – rajas) correlated negatively with all the nine components of AHS
Scale, of which four were statistically significant. The author of IAS Rating Scale describes
Activation with reference to those behavioral traits that resemble the descriptions given for
components of AHS Scale with Activation are related to predominance of sattva. Hence, it was
inferred that both Stability and Inertia scales of IAS Scale share certain introversion tendencies
and the sattva dominated components of AHS Scale also seem to have greater introversion
leanings.
In view of the above with regard to introversion of Eysenck and its relation to AHS Scale
Introversion does not by any standards stand alike to Indian understanding of altruism.
others’ emotions. But not all introverts are necessarily as per the Indian understanding,
98
c) To be altruistic, one needs to be introspective in the context of others. Introspection to
reflect upon the self, in the interests of self is very much extroversion, than introversion.
d) As per the Western understanding, ‘introversion’ can also be a cause of mental disorders,
but, in the East, ‘introversion’ is a dynamic way of becoming more efficient in terms of
e) The most distinguishable aspect between the definitions of introversion of the East and
the West is fear and fearlessness. Introspection in the East is driven by fearlessness and in
g) Interestingly, the deepest of the introverts are seen to be ‘stoically extroverts’. This
characteristic of being stoic, alone, helps such individuals to be individually vibrant and
socially productive.
h) Introversion and its correlation with altruism aim and assist an individual to derive a
With the reliability and the validity of the AHS Scale significantly established, the scale
1. A tool that is capable of assessing the motives behind a variety of human behaviours.
2. A tool that indicates the degree of happiness and the object of happiness each individual
is behind.
3. A tool which also suggests the value one has assigned to the self.
99
With these inferences we can also understand the role of this work in the context of
positive psychology. Positive psychology which is fast growing to become a discipline on its
own, is least explored in terms of a proper framework and a structure. Though Altruism is one
aspect of positive psychology research, the quality has not been structured under the larger
umbrella of happiness.
Further, the positive traits which are discussed threadbare in positive psychology have
not been put together under a category that unanimously suggests the growth and development of
the humanity. However, this work also has initiated this path of categorizing the traits under
three motives.
Though this work does not attempt to unravel directly the ideas like – Past Birth,
1. triguṇa under this work is seen as three motives that give rise to three personality types,
based on the principle – Happiness. However, the larger question is Happiness really the
primary purpose of the humanity? Further, can there be a fourth motive or fourth means
of happiness? It also needs to be checked if a fourth one can be put under the existing
three, broad motives to or means of happiness. Further, the most important variable of
this theory is the desire. It is considered as the basal of all human thoughts. Can it be
100
2. The sample being heterogeneous, the results as found are quite varied. Hence, small
segments of homogeneous groups should be tested under this Situation Sampling Method
and seen if they predominantly fall under a specific motive or means of happiness
3. The homogeneous samples should be also chosen based on extremity in the personality.
If a set of spiritualists are given a test, can they fall under the altruistic motive and if
inmates are given the same test, do they fall under sadism category, is the next big
4. Very importantly, as it is known to the personality theorists, can this test assess the
variety of aspects of a personality individually? Generally the major trend in the field of
eventually brand them under a particular type. Instead, can this theory pass the acid test
5. Can this theory also give leads to understanding the aptitude of a person?
6. Can this theory based on the Indian scripture, be blended with any other theory of the
ancient lore? As stands the efforts today, many have blended it with tridośa. However,
7. This theory though appears universal, the Situation Sampling Method used to assess the
humans have situations in them that are specific to Indian thinking style. Hence, can
8. The essential nature of any personality theory is its ability to help individuals raise
questions about their shortcomings and find answers to the same, irrespective of their age
and other barriers. Even though the theory does play a role in helping individuals look
into their life and understand it better, can a tool be built that can do a similar job as a
5.13 Limitations:
1. The Situation Sampling Method tool is biased and leaning more towards the Indian
cultural aspects and less it defines the behaviour and attitudes of the population
beyond India.
2. This work is yet to substantiate its claim of trifurcating all the traits as per the three
motives.
3. It is unknown if the tool was answered with absolute honesty by the participants,
owing to its length. Considering it was time evaporating the tool could be a barrier to
4. The tool had nine options, those which were supposed to be mandatorily answered.
They were based on the permutation and combination of the basic three aspects of
triguṇa. However, it is yet to be ascertained for its purity. There can be minute flaws
in the way nine were placed. Hence, a new parameter is yet to be discovered and
5. A very few terms as used in the tool were open to multiple meanings and that would
have lead to answers which were subjective at the time of answering, but became
objective at the time of analysis and the corresponding discussion here, in this
chapter.

APPENDIX – I
INFORMED CONSENT
Introduction: Participants are requested to be part of a survey that assesses Human Personality.
I, Swaroop. R, have enrolled for the Ph.D. course in the Department of Studies in
Psychology, at the University of Mysore. Since 2010, I am conducting research on a topic related
to Indian Psychology. Dr. S. K. Kiran Kumar, a Professor (Retired) and a Clinical Psychologist,
is my Guide.
Standardization of the proposed tool and to empirically validate the Indian personality
theory requires the participation of people from varied backgrounds. A large sample is required
to bring about accuracy and precision in tool validation. Hence it is proposed to collect data from
2000 participants representing different demographic characteristics such as age, gender,
education, occupation, and so on.
Benefits in participating in this study: In the process of answering the tool/inventory, you will
get an opportunity to reflect and understand different aspects of you own personality. Also, you
can evaluate your own thought patterns and reactions for different life situations.

Confidentiality: The information collected is totally confidential. Data will be stored securely
and will be accessed by me during the result’s analysis. No reference will be made to individual
or personal details anywhere.
