The Ashtanga Yoga Hindi Scale: An Assessment Tool Based on Eastern Philosophy of Yoga

Abstract

The study imports the concept of Ashtanga Yoga from the eastern philosophy of Yoga. There is a major disconnect between theory and data in Indian Psychology. Indian Psychology provides a rich theoretical base for understanding optimal human functioning. However, the theories have not been tested due to paucity of tools. A test developed on Ashtanga Yoga is reported. Data were collected in two phases from 550 participants. The data were analyzed using exploratory factor analysis. Seven factors were extracted as the theory indicates. Overall reliability of the scale was found to be excellent (α = 0.88), and the criterion-related validity was satisfactory as correlations were found to be 0.46 and 0.48 (p < 0.01) for Flourishing and SPANE-P, respectively, and −0.22 (p < 0.01) for SPANE-N.
