“…Support during the substantive phase of RP interviews has been found to be associated with a decreased reluctance in this phase, and with more spontaneous, informative, emotionally expressive, coherent, and credible statements made by the children (Ahern et al, 2019;Blasbalg et al, 2018;Blasbalg et al, 2019;Hershkowitz et al, 2021;Karni-Visel et al, 2019, 2021. It should be noted that while support and rapport are likely to be important across cultures, the ways in which social support is best provided may differ between cultures (see Tamm et al, 2021) and thus, the NICHD-R needs to be translated in a culture-sensitive way when used in different cultural settings.…”
