Summary
AI-generated from the abstractA new self-report questionnaire, the Out-of-Body Level of Experience Scale, was developed and initially validated to measure the depth or intensity of out-of-body experiences. The scale was constructed based on phenomenological features of such experiences and tested for psychometric properties. Results indicated that the scale has good internal consistency and convergent validity with related measures, suggesting it is a reliable tool for assessing out-of-body experiences in research contexts.
