Abstract

This study examined how children's age and their ratings of the likeability of a transgressor (E1) and an interviewer (E2) influenced their testimonies after witnessing a theft. Children (N = 152; ages 7-13 years) witnessed E1 steal $20 from a wallet. E1 then asked the children to lie and say that they did not take the money. Children were interviewed about their experience with E1 and completed two questionnaires about E1 and E2. Children who reported higher likeability scores with E1 were more likely to attempt to conceal the theft and more willing to keep it a secret. Children who reported higher likeability scores with E2 were more likely to indirectly disclose the theft. Age also played a role in children's ability to maintain their concealment. Results have important implications for professionals who interview children and suggest that more research is needed to examine ways to increase children's comfort with interviews/interviewers.

“我很喜欢你……:违规者和面试官的受欢迎程度和熟悉程度如何影响儿童的信息披露

本研究探讨了儿童的年龄以及他们对违法者（E1）和采访者（E2）可亲程度的评价如何影响他们在目睹盗窃后的证词。儿童（人数 = 152；年龄 7-13 岁）目睹了 E1 从钱包里偷了 20 美元。然后，E1 要求孩子们撒谎说他们没有拿钱。孩子们接受了关于与 E1 相处经历的访谈，并填写了两份关于 E1 和 E2 的问卷。对 E1 有较高好感度的儿童更有可能试图隐瞒偷窃行为，也更愿意保守秘密。而在 E2 项中表示喜欢程度较高的儿童则更有可能间接披露偷窃行为。年龄也是影响儿童能否继续隐瞒的一个因素。研究结果对采访儿童的专业人员具有重要意义，并表明需要进行更多的研究来探讨如何提高儿童对采访/采访者的舒适度。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
