Corrigendum: Ayahuasca-induced personal death experiences: prevalence, characteristics, and impact on attitudes toward death, life, and the environment

Summary

This article corrects errors in a research study about ayahuasca, a traditional plant medicine. The study examined how experiences with ayahuasca that involve confronting death affect people’s attitudes about mortality, the environment, and life fulfillment. The corrections clarify how often participants used ayahuasca and adjust how the data was visualized in graphs, but the main findings about ayahuasca’s effects remain unchanged.

Background

This corrigendum addresses errors in a published study examining ayahuasca-induced personal death experiences (APDs) and their effects on attitudes and behaviors. The research investigates how psychedelic experiences influence perspectives on mortality, environmental concern, and life engagement.

Objective

To correct statistical errors in the original publication regarding ayahuasca usage frequency and data visualization methods used in analyzing the relationship between APDs and various psychological outcomes.

Results

Corrections were made to average ayahuasca usage data (55.7 ± 82.1 instead of 69.4 ± 98.7) and comparative multiples with other psychedelics. Figures 2 and 3 were corrected to display Standard Error of the Mean (SEM) instead of Standard Deviation (SD) in error bars.

Conclusion

The corrected errors do not change the scientific conclusions of the original article. The study maintains its findings regarding the relationship between ayahuasca-induced death experiences and attitudes toward death, life fulfillment, coping strategies, and environmental concern.
