| Item . | Disagree . | Don’t Know . | Agree . |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hallucinations may not always have the “full force and impact of normal perceptions” as stated in the DSM-5 (eg, the individual may have some control, hallucination may not be fully perceptual, and some features of hallucinations may be shared with thoughts) | 16 (13.6%; 7.5%) | 8 (6.8%; 7.5%) | 94 (79.7%; 84.9%) |
| The definition of hallucinations should also include internal events that may not have the full force of a perception (ie, has only some resemblance to real perceptions) but that the individual is convinced are real. An example might be a strange, whispering voice coming from the individual’s body that the individual is convinced has been inserted from an external source | 7 (5.9%; 11.4%) | 12 (10.2%; 5.7%) | 99 (83.9%; 82.9%) |
| The new definition described in the previous statement (ie, internal events that may not have the full force of a perception [ie, only some resemblance to real perceptions] but that the individual is convinced are real) is the only correct one and should replace the one that is currently in the DSM-5 | 42 (35.6%; 54.3%) | 43 (36.4%; 28.6%) | 33 (28.0%; 17.1%) |
| Voices that are not similar to perceptions but which the individual is convinced are real and external are also hallucinations | 10 (8.5%; 5.7%) | 18 (15.3%; 8.6%) | 90 (76.3%; 85.7%) |
| The current (DSM-5) definition is good and does not need to be expanded on | 78 (66.1%; 65.7%) | 27 (22.9%; 22.9%) | 13 (11.0%; 11.4%) |
