Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- När det föreligger en misstanke om att ett barn har utsatts för, gjort sig skyldig till eller bevittnat ett brott, kan det bli aktuellt för polisen att hålla ett barnförhör. Ett väl genomfört barnförhör kan föra utredningen framåt och bana väg för en kommande rättegång. Likväl kan ett bristfälligt förhör skjuta en hel utredning i sank. Detta kapitel redogör för hur barnförhör bör gå till för att hjälpa barn att berätta om sina upplevelser och tar upp olika felkällor som kan minska barns tillförlitlighet.

- Purpose: Interviewing young children in a legal context can be a difficult task. Recent developments in the field have suggested that increased rapport building during the initial phase of child interviews may improve children’s witness capabilities. The present experiment was designed to investigate if time spent during the pre-substantive phase of an interview (long rapport building phase vs. short rapport building phase) would influence preschool-aged children’s statements about experienced and non-experienced events. We predicted that children interviewed with a longer rapport building phase would provide more details about a target event and exhibit a higher accuracy rate compared to 2children interviewed with a shorter rapport building phase. Participants/protocols: A total of 119 children (age 3 to 6 years) participated in the study. Beyond the rapport building manipulation, the interview structure followed the original NICHD protocol for interviewing children (Lamb et al., 2008). Method: The present experiment used a 2 (Rapport building time: Long vs. short) x 2 (Target event: Had experienced the event vs. had not experienced the event) between-subjects design. Approximately one week before the interviews took place, half of the children experienced a staged event involving a visit from two pirates at their preschool. All children were thereafter interviewed about the staged event (both children who did meet the pirates, and children who did not meet the pirates). During their interview, the children were randomised to one of the two rapport building conditions. The interviews were conducted by eleven trained research assistants who were unaware of the aim and hypotheses of the study. Results and conclusions: The data is currently being analysed and the main findings will be presented at the conference.

Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Forensic interviews with preschoolers can be challenging for a variety of reasons. For the last decades, scholars have therefore been interested in examining interviewing techniques and tools intended to improve young children’s witness reports. Drawings constitute one such tool that has shown mixed results with regard to preschool-aged children. The present experiment was designed to investigate how the use of drawings may influence young children’s accounts (in terms of their quantity of details and accuracy) about experienced and non-experienced events in relation to different question types. A total of 115 preschoolers (aged 3 to 6 years) were asked questions about an event involving a pirate visit to their preschool. Of those preschoolers, 80 children had met the pirate and were asked during their interview to either draw the pirate while answering questions (drawing condition) or to just answer the questions verbally (control condition). An additional 30 children who had not met the pirate were interviewed for exploratory purposes about the non-experienced event either by using drawings and answering questions or by questioning alone. The data is currently being analysed and the main findings will be presented at the NNPL meeting. Konferenspresentationen finansierades av Kungl. Vetenskaps- och Vitterhets-Samhället i Göteborg

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Purpose. The current study aimed to examine a Norwegian technique for conducting investigative interviews with preschoolers: the Sequential Interview (SI). The SI advocates for increased initial rapport building and includes a predetermined break before the substantive phase. To explore the potential benefits and risks of the SI, the technique was compared with an adapted version of the National Institute of Child Health and Development (NICHD) protocol. Methods. A total of 129 preschoolers (3-6 years) were interviewed with either the SI or NICHD protocol about a self-experienced (Exp. I) or non-experienced (Exp. II) event. Result. For Exp. I, no significant difference was observed across interview conditions in the number of reported details about a self-experienced event. Children interviewed with the SI exhibited a slightly lower accuracy rate compared to those interviewed with the NICHD protocol. For Exp. II, a total of 31.1% of the preschoolers initially assented to remembering a fictive (false) experience and 15.6% gave an account (>40 details) of the non-experienced event. We found no difference between interviewing conditions in assent rates or number of false accounts. Conclusions. The study provides valuable insights into the difficulties involved when interviewing young children. The results showed few differences between the novel SI model and the well-established NICHD protocol. While many preschoolers could provide accurate testimony, some embedded worrisome false details in their narratives. Furthermore, a minority of children gave false reports about non-experienced events when interviewed with the two techniques. Methodological limitations and suggestions for future research will be discussed.

The effects of drawing on preschoolers' statements about experienced and non‐experienced events

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Although drawing is frequently used during investigative interviews, few studies have explored the effectiveness of draw‐and‐talk techniques with very young children. In this article, we examined the effects of drawing on preschoolers' (3–6years old) reports of self‐experienced and non‐experienced events. In Study I, we interviewed 83 preschoolers about a staged event. We did not observe any significant statement differences between children asked to draw‐and‐talk compared to a verbal‐only condition. In Study II, we interviewed 25 preschoolers about a nonexperienced event. Twenty‐one children initially denied the event. When asked if they could help the interviewer draw a person from the event, 13 (61.9%) children complied with the request and eventually provided several false details. While drawing did not significantly increase the average number of details, exploratory findings indicated that drawing may have helped a subset of children. However, drawing might impair children's accuracy when suggestively interviewed about nonexperienced events.
