Examining witness interviewing environments

Abstract: The literature on information elicitation in psycholegal settings has predominantly focused on the investigatorinterviewee dynamic, with little attention to the environment in which the interview takes place. The present study compared the impact of two interview locations on the disclosure of crime-related information and perceptions of rapport building. Participants experienced a virtual reality mock crime, and 1 week later were interviewed at either their homes, or a formal room akin to a real-world police … Show more

“…Participants were recruited from the general population and were unfamiliar with eyewitness research but were made aware that memory was important and would be assessed. This demand characteristic is present with real witnesses who understand the importance of their memory performance (Fisher et al, 2017 ; Geiselman & Fisher, 2014 ; Hoogesteyn et al, 2020 ) and the need to provide detailed information. Further limitations stem from our operationalisation of a series of basic techniques, thus reducing a multifaceted social behaviour to individual components.…”

“…They were interviewed about the video 48 hours later. In the UK and elsewhere, other than for the most serious crimes, witnesses are not usually interviewed immediately (see Hoogesteyn et al, 2020 ; Hope et al, 2011 ). Rather, for more common “volume” crime events such as depicted in the stimulus video used here, delays in interviewing can often range from several hours to several days.…”

“…The sample size was based on a predicted large effect size, which has practical relevance in an applied setting. We considered the approach to be appropriate and in line with similar research in the investigative interviewing literature (e.g., Hoogesteyn et al ., 2020; Kontogianni et al ., 2018). However, given the sample sizes in each condition ( N = 32, 33 and 34), a larger sample would be needed to detect smaller effects, and significant differences between conditions, in the post‐hoc analyses.…”
