Good self-control has been linked to adaptive outcomes such as better health, cohesive personal relationships, success in the workplace and at school, less susceptibility crime addictions. In contrast, failure is maladaptive outcomes. Understanding mechanisms by which predicts behavior may assist promoting regulation A popular approach understanding strength or resource depletion model. Self-control conceptualized a limited that becomes depleted after period of exertion resulting failure....
The self-concept maintenance theory holds that many people will cheat in order to maximize self-profit, but only the extent they can do so while maintaining a positive self-concept. Mazar, Amir, and Ariely (2008, Experiment 1) gave participants an opportunity incentive on problem-solving task. Prior task, either recalled Ten Commandments (a moral reminder) or 10 books had read high school neutral task). Results were consistent with theory. When given cheat, moral-reminder priming task...
Legal psychologists have generally neglected intoxicated witnesses and suspects in their research. One possible reason is the lack of objective information about prevalence characteristics this witness suspect group. Also unclear whether standard police procedures for dealing with individuals exist what these may be. The present survey was conducted to help fill void. Law enforcement officers completed a experiences suspects. Their responses provide clear evidence that common there are few...
Although memory deteriorates over time, people may be able to maintain high accuracy by metacognitively monitoring the quality of their memories and strategically controlling reports. We test two mechanisms metacognitive control: Exercising a report option (withholding uncertain responses) adjusting response precision (providing imprecise, but likely accurate, responses). Participants observed mock crime were interviewed after 10 minutes or 1 week. Interviews consisted answerable questions...
The discovery of many cases wrongful conviction in the criminal justice system involving admissions from innocent suspects has led psychologists to examine factors contributing false confessions. However, little systematic research assessed processes underlying Human Intelligence (HUMINT) interrogations relating military and intelligence operations. current article examines similarities differences between HUMINT settings, discusses extent which empirical literature can be applied and/or...
Abstract Identifying interrogation strategies that minimize the likelihood of obtaining false information, without compromising ability to elicit true is a challenge faced by both law enforcement and scientists. Previous research suggests minimization maximization techniques may be perceived suspect as an expectation leniency threat harsher punishment, respectively, these approaches associated with confessions. The current studies examine whether it possible distinguish between do or not...
Alcohol typically has a detrimental impact on memory across variety of encoding and retrieval conditions (e.g., Mintzer, 2007; Ray & Bates, 2006). No research addressed alcohol's effect for lengthy interactive events little tested free recall. In this study 94 participants were randomly assigned to alcohol, placebo, or control groups consumed drinks in bar-lab setting while interacting with “bartender”. Immediately afterwards all freely recalled the bar interaction. Consistent alcohol myopia...
Many real-world eyewitnesses are under the influence of alcohol either at time crime, interview, or both. Only recently has empirical research begun to examine effects on witness memory, yielding mixed results. The present study tested importance state-dependent memory in context alcohol's encoding versus retrieval a witnessed event, while simultaneously informing investigative practices: Should witnesses sober up before an interview? Participants (N = 249) were randomized control, placebo,...
Summary Building rapport with adult witnesses and suspects is recommended by major investigative interviewing protocols (e.g., Cognitive Interview the Army Field Manual in USA PEACE UK). Although recent research suggests that building can sometimes benefit police investigations increasing accuracy of eyewitness reports potentially enhance diagnosticity evidence obtained from suspects, little data exist regarding how law enforcement interviewers actually define build real‐world...
Srull and Wyer (1979) demonstrated that exposing participants to more hostility-related stimuli caused them subsequently interpret ambiguous behaviors as hostile. In their Experiment 1, descrambled sets of words form sentences. one condition, 80% the sentences described hostile behaviors, in another 20% behaviors. Following descrambling task, all read a vignette about man named Donald who behaved an ambiguously manner then rated him on set personality traits. Next, hostility various (all...
According to law enforcement, many witnesses are intoxicated either at the time of crime, interview, or both (Evans et al., Public Policy Law 15(3):194-221, 2009). However, no study date has examined whether witnesses' recall is different from sober and they more vulnerable misinformation using an ecologically valid experimental design. Intoxicated, placebo, observed a live, staged theft, overheard subsequent about took part in investigative interview. Participants generally believed...

Abstract Psychology research has generally neglected intoxicated eyewitnesses. The current study addressed this need by exploring mock jurors' perceptions of witnesses. Undergraduate participants read summarized sexual or aggravated battery cases in which either the victim a bystander identified defendant under varying intoxication levels. They answered questions about case and provided verdicts. Participants were sensitive to effect that may have on witnesses' cognitive ability, but not...
Summary The ability to accurately assess credibility is important in countless situations, including many which individuals being assessed are not speaking their native language. There reason believe that and non‐native speakers may behave differently when lying detectors have a bias lying. However, very little known about detecting deception speakers, the few existing studies resulted consistent findings. current research compared detect lies truths with looked at differences cues displayed...

Summary Despite growing interest in intelligence interviewing, there is little empirical research directly addressing interrogations conducted with the goal of collecting human (HUMINT). The current study used an experimental intelligence‐gathering paradigm to test efficacy two clusters emotion‐based interrogation approaches from US Army Field Manual. Results suggest that both Positive and Negative Emotional Approaches increased collection information guilty innocent participants when...
Background: Despite the common occurrence of alcohol-related crimes, Swedish police authority currently lacks national guidelines for dealing with intoxicated victims/witnesses.Method: A survey was designed to explore procedures when encountering individuals and compare findings international statistics. To facilitate comparison, modeled after previous research adapted a context. solicitation containing link emailed all regions in Sweden.Results: Police officers (N = 133) indicated that it...
Abstract The current research examined the potential benefit of context reinstatement on cross-race effect in lineup identification. Participants viewed a series own- and other-race faces subsequently attempted identification these from target-present target-absent lineups. traditional was found measures discrimination accuracy response bias; however, across shown to interact with such that only own-race benefited provision contextual information. This finding is discussed light...
Summary Intoxicated witnesses are common, making it important to understand alcohol's impact on witness accuracy and suggestibility. Participants assigned an immediate retrieval condition encoded recalled in one of the three intoxication conditions: sober control, placebo, or intoxicated. delayed were encode conditions, returned a week later, retrieve conditions. Intoxication at encoding was fully crossed with condition. mock crime video retrieved via forced‐choice test, answers already...
This archival study was the first in Sweden, and outside of US UK, to apply (Kelly et al., Psychology, Public Policy, Law, 9, 165-178, 2013) taxonomy interrogation methods framework repeated police interrogations adult suspects high-stakes crimes. Audio/video recordings (N = 19) were collected from Swedish Police Authority three criminal cases. The interaction between interrogators scored according 2013; Kelly Law Human Behavior, 40, 295-309, 2016). First, there an association use different...
