Near-death experiences and attitude change.

The Journal of near-death studies January 1, 1985 Martín W. Bauer 26 citations

People who have had near-death experiences (NDEs) report positive changes in their life attitudes, including a greater sense of purpose, acceptance of death, concern for others, and awareness of life's value. In a survey of 28 near-death experiencers (20 women and 8 men, ages 31 to 75, from diverse geographical and religious backgrounds), all respondents showed significant positive shifts on the Life Attitude Profile questionnaire. These results strongly suggest that NDEs are associated with lasting positive attitude changes.
