Self-transcendence is an important component of mental health and emotional well-being, and associates with everyday stress. The aim of this study was to reveal the relationships between excessive TV commercial viewing and self-transcendence. Forty-two healthy senior pupils aged 14–17 years participated in the study. We used the temperament and character inventory by cloninger, cloninger tridimensional personality questionnaire, the school anxiety test by Philips, Maddi Hardiness survey, and the emotional intelligence self-evaluation by Hall. We found that excessive TV commercial viewing has been linked to self-transcendence, which directly correlates with empathy and school anxiety. There was an inverse correlation between self-transcendence and self-directedness. We also found interrelations between self-transcendence and reward dependence, mediated by the noradrenergic brain system. We argue that the propensity for watching TV commercials and self-transcendence may determine the activity of monoaminergic brain systems along with the constitutional traits and personality characteristics.
