The characteristics of delusional experience were examined in a mixed group of 55 patients considered to be deluded; 11 belief characteristics were assessed by self-rating: conviction, preoccupation, interference, resistance, dismissibility, absurdity, self-evidentness, reassurance seeking, worry, unhappiness and pervasiveness. Only on level of conviction did no subject show a low score; on other dimensions there was considerable inter-subject variability. A principal components analysis indicated 4 components: distress, belief strength, obtrusiveness and concern. It is argued that delusions are most usefully regarded as multi-dimensional and, while characterised by conviction, vary considerably on other important dimensions.
对一组55名被认为患有妄想症的混合患者的妄想体验特征进行了研究；通过自评评估了11种信念特征：确信度、专注度、干扰性、抗拒性、可消除性、荒谬性、自明性、寻求安慰、担忧、不快乐和普遍性。只有在确信度这一维度上，没有受试者表现出低分；在其他维度上，受试者之间存在相当大的差异。主成分分析表明有4个成分：痛苦、信念强度、突出性和关注。有人认为，妄想最有用的理解方式是多维的，虽然其特征是确信度，但在其他重要维度上差异很大。
