− | '''Standardization of psychological constitution assessment proforma:''' A. Arhanth Kumar et al. has developed a tool for manasika prakriti evaluation, and has eventually created a Manasika prakriti inventory based on [[sattva]], [[raja]], and [[tama]] qualities. This is processed and verified using the face validation technique. It is used in a pilot survey research on 100 volunteers, which demonstrated that this inventory is an effective relevant instrument for assessing an individual's psychological disposition.<ref name=Arhant/>

− | '''Sushruta Child personality inventory (SCPI):''' SP Suchitra et al. made an attempt to establish and standardize a self–rating scale to evaluate children's manasika prakrti for early detection of psychiatric problems. A 54-item scale is developed to evaluate the effectiveness of Yoga, food, and personality development programs in children to maintain a healthy and happy life.<ref name=Suchitra/>

− | '''Intelligence status and manasika prakriti:''' Satyam sharma and colleagues conducted a study to determine the association between intelligence status (as measured by intelligence quotients (IQ), social quotients (SQ), and performance quotients (PQ)) and maladaptive behavior in children with milder to moderate intellectual impairment, among other goals. The research of 120 children discovered that IQ and SQ were related to one another as well as to manasik prakriti.<ref>Sharma S, Balsavar A, Beniwal RP, Bhatia T, Deshpande SN.

− | '''Cognition, coping skills and manasika prakriti:''' Yoga practitioners had a higher [[sattva guna]] and preferentially recruited brain areas primarily associated with self-regulation and inhibitory control, according to a study conducted at All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi. Cognition, coping skills, and vedic personality among individuals practicing different lifestyles i.e. yoga, physical activity, and sedentary lifestyle were compared in this study using functional MRI.<ref>Kaur H, Chaudhary S, Mohanty S, Sharma G, Kumaran SS, Ghati N, Bhatia R, Nehra A, Pandey RM.
