Original language description
The present research aims to study the Eastern concept of Vedic personality traits comprising of Gunas- Sattva, Rajas and Tamas in relation to Mental Health, Flourishing, Positive and Negative Experience in Czech students. A sample of 353 university students (pertaining to diverse professional disciplines) was selected, consisting of 286 females and 67 males. The age range of the sample was between 19 to 30 years with mean age of 22.2 years. The Mental Health Continuum - Short Form (MHC-SF; Keyes, 2009), Flourishing Scale and Scale of Positive and Negative Experience SPANE (Diener, Wirtz, Tov, Kim-Prieto, Choi, Oishi, & Biswas-Diener, 2009) and Vedic Personality Inventory (VPI; Wolf, 1998) were used in this research. VPI is based on the three gunaswhich according to the Das Gupta (1961) are ´the universal characteristics of all kinds of mental tendencies?. These gunas facilitate the behavior style of an individual. Descriptive statistics was used for data analysis.
