Memory Construction, Suggestibility Effect And Eyewitness: From Laboratory To Legal Contexts
Journal Title: International Journal of Forensic Science & Pathology (IJFP) - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 3
Abstract
There is a growing body of literature proposing exposure to life adversity in later psychological vulnerability in adulthood; particularly, low self-esteem, susceptibility to negative emotional states [12] and interrogative suggestibility [13]. This studies indicate that interviewees reporting a high number of association between the reported experience of negative life events (NLEs) could be more vulnerable (because they may experience a heightened state of uncertainty) to police interrogative pressure/critical feedback and become ever more likely to answer shifting in their responses. This suggests that, in the occurrence of real-life stressors, interrogative vulnerability may be a problem for interviewees with a high number of NLEs. This issue needs further research. More recently, in order to distinguish suggestibility that occurs incidentally from suggestibility that occurs due to interrogative pressure it was proposed the use of the expression of investigative suggestibility [14]. The benefits of free recall and the threats for misleading questions are reflected in procedures advocated in modern questioning techniques for vulnerable witnesses, such as the NICHD protocol [15].
