There are few studies that have focused on systematically measuring indicators of rapport during police investigative interviews. Using Tickle‐Degnen and Rosenthal's model as the basis for a systematic measurement of rapport, this study examined police interviews to identify whether rapport with suspects influences investigation relevant information (IRI). Eighty‐two interview transcripts with male suspects accused of child internet sex offences were coded across three rapport components: attention, positivity, and coordination. Attention and coordination were the most frequently used, and both positively correlated with the production of information. Positivity did not significantly correlate with IRI. The interviews were broken down into three different stages to examine the relationship between the rapport indicators and IRI across the interviews. Attention related to IRI throughout the entire interview, coordination during the middle and end, and positivity did not relate to IRI for any of the time points. This study offers a methodology for measuring rapport during real life interviews, and implications for interviewing and training are discussed.

没有融洽关系，没有评论：在对嫌疑人进行调查性访谈期间，融洽关系与沟通之间的关系

很少有研究专注于在警察调查性访谈中系统地测量关系的指标。本研究以Tickle-Degnen和Rosenthal的模型为基础来系统地测量关系，调查了警察的访谈，以确定与嫌疑人的关系是否影响调查相关信息（IRI）。被控涉嫌儿童互联网性犯罪的男性嫌疑人的八十二次采访笔录被编码为三个融洽的组成部分：注意力，积极性和协调性。注意和协调是最常用的方法，两者都与信息的产生呈正相关。积极性与IRI没有显着相关。访谈分为三个不同的阶段，以检查整个访谈过程中关系指标与IRI之间的关系。在整个访谈过程中，与IRI有关的注意力，中期和末期的协调以及积极性在任何时间点均与IRI不相关。这项研究提供了一种在现实生活中访谈中衡量融洽关系的方法，并讨论了访谈和培训的意义。
