The camera perspective bias: A case study.

In this case-study we examined how variations of the camera perspective affect adults’ assessment of veracity in a real-life high-stake situation; a masked male confessing to a very serious crime. The interview, conducted by one of Sweden’s most awarded journalists, lasted 30 minutes and consisted of over 100 detailed questions about the crime. The interview was videotaped simultaneously by three cameras positioned at different locations, each taking a unique visual perspective. One camera focused on the suspect only, one on the interviewer only, and one equally on the suspect and the interviewer. Each videotape was shown to 32 adult observers (N=96), who were asked to assess the suspect’s veracity and report subjective cues justifying their veracity assessment. The results confirmed the camera perspective bias, by showing that the observers in the ‘suspect only’ condition assessed the confession as significantly more reliable than did the observers in the ‘interviewer only’ condition. The observers reported that they relied heavily on verbal cues when assessing the confession, and particularly regarding confidence and consistency.
