Background

Previous research has shown the effectiveness of simulation training using avatars paired with feedback in improving child sexual abuse interview quality. However, it has room for improvement.

Objective

The present study aimed to determine if the combination of two interventions, feedback and modeling, would further improve interview quality compared to either intervention alone.

Participants

Thirty-two clinical psychologists were randomly assigned to a feedback, modeling, or the combination of feedback and modeling group.

Methods

The participants conducted five simulated child sexual abuse interviews online while receiving the intervention(s) corresponding to their allocated group. Feedback was provided after each interview and consisted of the outcome of the alleged cases and comments on the quality of the questions asked in the interviews. Modeling was provided after the 1st interview and consisted of learning points and videos illustrating good and bad questioning methods.

Results

The proportion of recommended questions improved over the five interviews when considering all groups combined. The combined intervention (vs. feedback alone) showed a higher proportion of recommended questions from the 2nd interview onward while the difference between the combined intervention and modeling alone and the difference between the modeling alone and feedback alone were mostly not significant. The number of correct details were affected in the same way. No significant differences in the number of incorrect details were found.

Conclusions

The results show that the combination of feedback and modeling achieves improvement greater than that of feedback alone.

儿童性虐待访谈在线模拟训练中反馈与建模相结合提高临床心理学家访谈质量

背景

先前的研究表明，使用化身进行模拟训练与反馈相结合在提高儿童性虐待访谈质量方面的有效性。但是，它还有改进的余地。

客观的

本研究旨在确定与单独的干预措施相比，反馈和建模两种干预措施的组合是否会进一步提高访谈质量。

参与者

三十二名临床心理学家被随机分配到反馈、建模或反馈和建模组合组。

方法

参与者在接受与其分配的组相对应的干预的同时，在线进行了五次模拟的儿童性虐待访谈。每次面谈后都会提供反馈，包括所指控案件的结果和对面谈中提出的问题质量的评论。第一次面试后提供建模，包括学习要点和视频，说明好的和坏的提问方法。

结果

当综合考虑所有组时，推荐问题的比例比五次访谈有所提高。联合干预（相对于单独的反馈）显示出从第二次面试开始的更高比例的推荐问题，而联合干预和单独建模之间的差异以及单独建模和单独反馈之间的差异大多不显着。正确细节的数量以同样的方式受到影响。未发现不正确细节的数量存在显着差异。

结论

结果表明，反馈和建模的结合比单独的反馈实现了更大的改进。
