Although it is known that interrogation tactics can elicit false confessions and interviewer manner may determine the outcome of an interview, the combined effects of questioning technique and interviewer manner on false confessions have not been examined empirically. Following a false accusation of theft, participants were interviewed in one of four questioning conditions (minimisation, repetitive questioning, leading questions, and nonleading questions) in which interviewers adopted a stern or friendly manner. Perceptions of pressure to confess and interviewer behaviours were measured. Significantly more false confessions were elicited using nonleading questions rather than repetitive questioning. More false confessions were elicited in the friendly interviewer condition than in the stern interviewer condition. Neither interviewer manner nor questioning technique had a significant effect on subjective ratings of pressure to confess. The finding that false confessions may be elicited in the absence of coercive tactics may have implications for informing best practices in investigative interviewing.

提问技巧和面试者态度对虚假自白的联合作用

尽管已知讯问策略会引起虚假供认,而面试者的方式可能会决定面试的结果,但仍未从经验上考察询问技术和面试者方式对虚假供词的综合影响。在对盗窃罪提出错误指控之后,以四种询问条件之一(最小化,重复询问,主要问题和非主要问题)对参与者进行了采访,在这种情况下,访调员采取了严厉或友好的态度。衡量了坦白的压力感和访问者的行为。使用非引导性问题而不是重复性问题引起了明显更多的错误供认。在友好的访调员条件下比在严厉的访调员条件下引起更多的虚假供认。面试者的态度和提问技术都不会对主观认罪压力产生重大影响。在缺乏强制性策略的情况下可能会导致错误的自白的发现可能对调查性访谈中的最佳实践提供了启示。
