- Since previous studies have shown the potential of late disclosure of evidence as a deception detection tool, this study examined whether or not these results can be replicated with children as liars and truth-tellers. It was hypothesized that the deception detection accuracy in the late disclosure condition would be significantly higher than in the early disclosure condition. In an experiment, 168 adult observers judged the veracity of 84 children (12–14 years), interviewed separately about a mock crime they had (liars) or had not (truth-tellers) committed. In half of the interviews the evidence was disclosed early, in the other half late. The accuracy rate was 56% for the early disclosure condition, and 63.1% for the late disclosure condition (a non-significant difference). Furthermore, the observers were better at detecting truthful statements (70.2%), than lies (48.8%). We will discuss the results in relation to past research and in terms of statement-evidence inconsistency.

Police interrogation from a social psychology perspective
- 2005

Ingår i: Policing and Society. ; 15:4, s. 379-399

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The interrogation of suspects is considered to be one of the most crucial stages in the investigative process. Cases of miscarriage of justice have led to public out-cries for studies on the procedures, effectiveness and ethics of police interroga-tions. This paper will provide an overview of such studies of interrogation, and shed light on two different interrogation techniques informed by a social psycho-logical perspective. First, the effects of interrogation techniques that aim at ob-taining confessions will be discussed. Second, an overview will be provided of techniques that emphasize the importance of obtaining the truth. Finally, in rela-tion to recent findings from the area of psychology and law, the characteristics of a good interrogation will be explored.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- We hypothesised that the responses of pairs of liars would correspond less with each other than would responses of pairs of truth tellers, but only when the responses are given to unanticipated questions. Liars and truth tellers were interviewed individually about having had lunch together in a restaurant. The interviewer asked typical opening questions which we expected the liars to anticipate, followed by questions about spatial and/or temporal information which we expected suspects not to anticipate, and also a request to draw the layout of the restaurant. The results supported the hypothesis, and based on correspondence in responses to the unanticipated questions, up to 80% of liars and truth tellers could be correctly classified, particularly when assessing drawings.
