A systematic review and meta-analysis of six cross-sectional studies found that long-term participants in ayahuasca rituals, compared to controls, scored significantly lower on Harm Avoidance, Anticipatory Worry, Fear of Uncertainty, Shyness with strangers, Fatigability, and Purposefulness, and significantly higher on Reward Dependence, Attachment, Helpfulness, Self-Transcendence, Transpersonal Identification, and Spiritual Acceptance. These results suggest a 'social' and 'spiritual' personality profile among long-term ayahuasca participants, aligning with evidence from other psychedelic studies.
