Sexuality and the Near-Death Experience

May 20, 2004 | posted by Ryan | Leave a Comment

One part of my dissertation included a revision of the Omega Life Change Questionnaire (Ring, 1984). The revised version included a sexuality sub-scale, which, when tested for reliability, reached a Chronboch’s Alpha of .86. I am attmpting to further establish a reliable subscale and further investigate the sexual changes that occure for an individual after having a near-death experience.

It seems highly unlikely that an event that may change a person’s personality, relationships, religious and spiritual views and practices, and even a person’s physiological reactions to environmental stimuli would not have some effect on a person’s sexual identity, practices, and sexual self-concept. However, at this point it is unknown what these changes look like, primarily becuase the question has not yet been asked!

If you, the reader, have some experience personally with this topic I invite you to send me a note via email (ryan.rominger). FYI, all correspondances including personal experience or other such material will be kept confidential, and, if used for any reason, all names and pertinent information will be changed to keep confidentiality. Please be advised that email itself is not a completely secure format, but all attempts will be made to keep your information confidential.
