When children are interviewed about a prior experience using open-ended questions, the opportunity to draw increases the amount of information they report without decreasing their accuracy. Given that prior research has only included children from middle- to upper-middle class backgrounds, it is not clear whether the technique is effective for children from more challenging backgrounds that are overrepresented in clinical and legal contexts. Here, we examined the effect of drawing on children's verbal reports as a function of the socioeconomic status (SES) of their families. A total of 125 children (5- and 6-year-olds) were recruited from schools with a socioeconomic rating of low-, middle-, or upper-middle class. They participated in a novel event and were interviewed 1 month later. Half of the children were given the opportunity to draw during the interview and half were not. Regardless of SES, drawing increased the amount of information that children reported. Drawing also ameliorated the impact of memory ability on the amount that children reported. Additionally, children from low SES backgrounds were less accurate than were children from higher SES backgrounds and they remained less accurate even when they were drawing. These findings have important implications for interviewing children in clinical and legal contexts. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2020 APA, all rights reserved).

绘画和社会经济地位对儿童过去经历报告的影响。

当使用开放式问题采访儿童之前的经历时,绘画的机会会增加他们报告的信息量,而不会降低他们的准确性。鉴于先前的研究仅包括中上阶层背景的儿童,尚不清楚该技术是否对来自更具挑战性背景的儿童有效,这些儿童在临床和法律环境中所占比例过高。在这里,我们研究了利用儿童口头报告作为其家庭社会经济地位 (SES) 的函数的影响。共有 125 名儿童(5 岁和 6 岁)从社会经济等级为低、中或中上层的学校招募。他们参加了一个新颖的活动,并在1个月后接受了采访。一半的孩子在采访中得到了绘画的机会,而另一半则没有。不管 SES,绘画增加了儿童报告的信息量。绘画还改善了记忆能力对儿童报告数量的影响。此外,来自低 SES 背景的儿童不如来自较高 SES 背景的儿童准确,即使他们在画画时也不太准确。这些发现对于在临床和法律背景下采访儿童具有重要意义。(PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2020 APA,保留所有权利)。来自低 SES 背景的儿童不如来自较高 SES 背景的儿童准确,即使他们在画画时也不太准确。这些发现对于在临床和法律背景下采访儿童具有重要意义。(PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2020 APA,保留所有权利)。来自低 SES 背景的儿童不如来自较高 SES 背景的儿童准确,即使他们在画画时也不太准确。这些发现对于在临床和法律背景下采访儿童具有重要意义。(PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2020 APA,保留所有权利)。
