The study found that people who meditate have the weakest response to negative feedback while those who don't meditate have the most intense response to negative feedback Knytl and Prof. Opitz believe that regular meditation may impact levels of dopamine, which is a neurotransmitter that plays an important role in mood regulation and physical agility, among other things. This, in turn, may render meditators less responsive to negative feedback "What we have found is that [meditation] can [...] impact on how we receive feedback, i.e. if we quickly learn from our mistakes or if we need to keep making them before we find the right answer."
