This study investigated whether personality traits (Openness, Extraversion, Pleasantness, Conscientiousness, and Neuroticism), dissociative experiences, Fantasy proneness, disposition toward auditory hallucinations, absorption trait, and endorsement of paranormal and spiritual beliefs could be associated with the recall of NDEs(-like).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      To this aim, we invited four groups of people to retrospectively fill in questionnaires assessing the following factors: NDE experiencers (\n                      <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                      = 63), NDE(-like) experiencers (\n                      <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                      = 31), controls with a life-threatening situation but no NDE(-like) (\n                      <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                      = 43), and controls without a life-threatening situation or an NDE(-like) (\n                      <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                      = 44).
