Many people report having had an experience in which they felt as if their phenomenal self was separated in Cartesian space from their physical body. This phenomenon is often referred to as an 'out-of-body' (OBE) experience. Prior work has found OBE experients to score higher on measures of dissociation and to differ in regards to the perceptual experience of their body. Based upon this work, we theorized that the daily bodily experiences of people with and without a prior OBE would differ along a number of dimensions. In order to test this theory a questionnaire study was conducted. Of 243 respondents, 62 reported at least one prior OBE. Six scales on different aspects of bodily experience were administered. Respondents reporting a previous OBE were found to score significantly higher on measures of somatoform dissociation, self-consciousness, body dissatisfaction, and lower on a measure of confidence in their physical self-presentation than respondents without a previous OBE. The findings are discussed as supporting a dissociational theory of the OBE.
许多人报告称有过这样一种体验，即他们感觉自己的现象自我在笛卡尔空间中与自己的身体相分离。这种现象通常被称为“出体”（OBE）体验。先前的研究发现，有出体体验者在解离测量上得分更高，并且在身体的感知体验方面存在差异。基于这项研究，我们推测，有过出体体验和没有出体体验的人的日常身体体验在多个维度上会有所不同。为了验证这一理论，我们进行了一项问卷调查研究。在243名受访者中，62人报告至少有过一次出体体验。我们对身体体验不同方面的六个量表进行了测试。结果发现，与没有出体体验的受访者相比，有过出体体验的受访者在躯体形式解离、自我意识、身体不满的测量上得分显著更高，而在身体自我展示的自信测量上得分更低。这些发现被认为支持了出体体验的解离理论。
