Table 2.

Results of linear regressions assessing BMI as a predictor of ASC and EBI controlling for age, sex and study.

Acute scale Frequentist Bayesian*
B 95% CI p BF02 BF12
ASC-OBN 0.30 −1.20, 1.81 0.689 39.63 2.82

EBI −0.11 −1.79, 2.02 0.904 30.91 2.60

ASC, N = 77; EBI, N = 56.

ASC: altered states of consciousness; BF: Bayes Factor; BMI: body mass index; DED: dread of ego dissolution; OBN: oceanic boundlessness; VRS: visionary restructuralization; EBI: emotional breakthrough inventory.

M0: null model.

M1: Age + Sex + Study.

M2: Age + Sex + Study + BMI.

*

While BFs are commonly presented as evidence for the alternative relative to the null, here we presented evidence for the null relative to the alternative (BF01 and BF12) because BF > 1 are easier to interpret than BF < 1 (Rouder and Morey, 2012).
