Note: All loadings were >0.4; where loadings did not meet this threshold, they have been included but shaded in light gray. A total of N = 173 participants who reported auditory hallucinations either currently or lifetime were included. No, item number; AH, auditory hallucination subscale; VH, visual hallucination subscale; D, delusion subscale.
