Perceptual and motor skills · Comparative questionnaire study
People who reported seeing their own body from an external viewpoint scored higher on a threat-sensitivity questionnaire than a comparison group.
Method and scope
Researchers compared 105 participants reporting an autoscopic out-of-body experience with 150 without one, also considering life-threatening situations.
What to keep in mind
Questionnaire associations do not establish which factor came first or what caused the experience. The reported viewpoint was not independently observed.
