Psychological and demographic characteristics of persons reporting out-of-body experiences
Abstract:
Three hundred, thirty-nine subjects who reported out-of-body experiences were compared to 81 subjects who had a strong interest in such phenomena but had not had the experience. They were also compared with several other groups on a scale of psychological adjustment. No distinctive psychological profile could be delineated, but the OBE subjects were less danger-seeking than the comparison group. Also, they showed significantly better psychological adjustment than a group of psychiatric patients and were roughly equivalent to a group of randomly selected college students. Demographic factors were discussed.
