“…The construct of rapport is traditionally referenced in clinical settings, where therapists cite the importance of establishing a 'therapeutic alliance' (Bedi, Davis, & Williams, 2005). Despite its frequent usage by researchers and clinicians, there are many different definitions of rapport.…”

Major investigative interviewing protocols such as the Cognitive Interview recommend that investigators build rapport with cooperative adult witnesses at the beginning of a police interview. Although research substantiates the benefits of rapport-building on the accuracy of child witness reports, few studies have examined whether similar benefits apply to adult witnesses. The present study investigated whether verbal rapport-building techniques increase adult witness report accuracy and decrease their susceptibility to post-event misinformation. One-hundred eleven college adults viewed a videotaped mock-crime, received post-event misinformation (or correct information) about the crime, and were subsequently interviewed by a research assistant who built rapport (or did not build rapport) before recalling the mock-crime. Results indicated that rapport-building increased the quality of witness recall by decreasing the percentage of inaccurate and misinformation reported, particularly in response to open-ended questions. We discuss implications and recommendations for law enforcement.

“…Bedi and his colleagues showed that clients valued therapists' personal characteristics, such as good grooming and the physical environment of therapy office, in trusting their therapist and building therapeutic relationship (Bedi, Davis, & Williams, 2005). Another study showed that client and therapist perspectives on the working alliance do not necessarily correspond well, with the therapist's evaluation having a lower correlation with post-session outcomes (Fitzpatrick, Stalikas, & Iwakabe, 2005).…”

Empirically supported treatments have brought much enthusiasm for establishing a firm empirical basis for clinical practice. However controversies about what constitutes evidence in psychotherapy and what research methodologies qualify as sufficiently rigorous to produce such evidence also abound. Although most psychotherapy researchers are in agreement with the underlying rationale that psychotherapy should be based on rigorous scientific research, many are in disagreement as to what constitutes ideal scientific practice in evidence-based psychotherapy; alternative frameworks of evidence have been proposed. This paper first reviews different models of evidence, namely empirically supported treatments, empirically supported psychotherapy relationships, research informed principles of therapeutic change, and evidence-based practice in psychology, and discusses their relative strengths and limitations. Secondly, it illustrates three research topics and corresponding strategies that both supplement these evidence models and deepen an understanding of process and outcome in psychotherapy. These three areas are: mechanisms of change, systematic case studies, and researcher-practitioner collaboration.

“…The foci range from looking at helping and hindering factors in the workplace, to studying effective and ineffective ways of behaving, collecting functional or behavioral descriptions of events or problems, or determining factors that are vital to an event or activity (Butterfield et al, 2009;Bedi, Davis, & Williams, 2005). In all of these studies, however, there is a need for human participants to include their insight and expertise into the area of interest.…”

The issue of conducting ethical research that considers the wider impact on the participant is not a new idea in academia. It is the constant "elephant in the room" that exists for any researcher who works with people and this is accentuated when working with vulnerable populations. This article is written as a cautionary note and offers an ethical and moral means of conducting research in the moral quagmire of honoring people's stories, words, behaviors and thoughts. The purpose is for the researcher to note the possible impact that the telling of such stories may have not just on the storyteller, but also on the listener. It is meant to serve as one of the ways to minimize harm to participants and researchers, and maximize the potential of the widely used qualitative research tool and the CIT (critical incident technique). Following in the footsteps of the pilot study by Butterfield, Borgen, Maglio, and Amundsen (2009) regarding the impact of a qualitative research interview on participants, combined with previous post-modern analyses, it is clear that any type of research can have an impact on participants. This article positions itself as a means of advocating that a researcher working with potentially vulnerable populations should wear "dual hats" when conducting research and, at all times, should be aware of the impact upon participants during the research process. Further, it explores the need to the potential impact first and foremost in the mind of the researcher prior to embarking upon any research with vulnerable and special populations. Keywords: CIT (critical incident technique), immigrant, career, youth, special populations Origins of CIT (Critical Incident Technique)The CIT is a qualitative research tool that was introduced after World War II, growing out of the aviation psychology programme for the US air force (Flanagan, 1954). Its continued popularity, deployment and development have been driven by a desire, through organizational and industrial psychology, to identify key personnel for jobs, methods of determining job requirements and effective system design. Flanagan (1954) initially established the CIT as a set of procedures to enable the systematic analysis of effective and ineffective performance of pilots. The five steps include: (1) to identify the aim of the study and the research question; (2) to identify the types of incidents to be collected; (3) to identify the means of data collection; (4) the analysis of the data; and (5) the categorization and codification of the data. More generally, the CIT represents a set of procedures for systematically identifying behaviors that contribute to the success or failure of individuals or
