Now a question about some of your beliefs.<br />

Preoccupation with unsubstantiated "conspiratorial" explanations of<br />

events either irnrndiat. to tha matient or in the world at large -<br />

Paranoid: 7<br />

Do you spend time thinking about the possibility that there may be some kind of conspiracy<br />

going on around you or in the world at large?<br />

If yes: Does this bother you or have any effect on your life?<br />

If yes: Tell me about it.<br />

This should be scored conservatively. Passing suspicions or abrtract ideas with<br />

little or no impact on the subject's behaviour are not within the xope of the<br />

criterion. For a positive score there should be a definite preoccupation that<br />

either produces emotional distress or has an obvious influence on the subject's<br />

behaviour. If people rather than events are the focus of the "conspiracy".<br />

then more than one person must be involved, and there must be mmmunication<br />

between or among them.<br />

2 Often preoccupied with unsubstantiated conspiratorial explanations. This<br />

sometimes produces emotional distress or has an obvious influence on the<br />

subject's behaviour.<br />

1 Occasionally preoccupied with unsubstantiated conspiratorial explanations.<br />

This sometimes produces emotional distress or has an obvious influence<br />

on thesubject's behaviour.<br />

0 Denied, rare, does not cause distress or influence behaviour, or not supported<br />

by subject's description.
