Abstract

In three experiments, we examined whether general suggestions of non-occurrence –suggestions that experienced events did not occur– would lead participants to claim that events they witnessed never happened. Participants viewed a video depicting the investigation of a child kidnapping case and subsequently were exposed to suggestions of non-occurrence either once (Experiments 1 and 3) or three times (Experiments 2 and 3). The results provided no evidence that single suggestions of non-occurrence influenced participants’ memories or belief (Experiments 1 and 3). However, in two experiments (E2 and E3) the results provided clear evidence that repeated elaboration of suggestions of non-occurrence led participants to claim that the events they witnessed never happened. The finding that participants were influenced by repeated, but not single elaboration of suggestions of non-occurrence shows that reflective elaboration processes played an important role in leading participants to disbelieve the events they had witnessed.

未发生的建议会导致声称目击事件没有发生吗?

摘要

在三个实验中,我们检查了关于不发生的一般性暗示——暗示经历过的事件没有发生——是否会导致参与者声称他们目睹的事件从未发生过。参与者观看了一段描述绑架儿童案件调查的视频,随后被曝出一次(实验 1 和 3)或 3 次(实验 2 和 3)未发生的建议。结果没有提供证据表明不发生的单一建议会影响参与者的记忆或信念(实验 1 和 3)。然而,在两个实验(E2 和 E3)中,结果提供了明确的证据,表明反复阐述不发生的建议导致参与者声称他们目睹的事件从未发生过。参与者受到重复影响的发现,
