摘要

过去的研究表明,最小化(即淡化犯罪的道德或心理严重性)实际上意味着,嫌疑人将得到更宽大的判决,以换取信息,而这不能通过宽大的警告来减轻。在四项研究中(n = 187、124、236和241),参与者阅读了涉及破门而入的案件概述、嫌疑人访谈记录,然后回答了有关访谈和潜在后续司法程序的各种看法的问题。我们操纵了(1)参与者在后续问题(自我与他者)中的观点和(2)宽大警告的语言和位置。然后,我们进行了一个小型荟萃分析,纳入了所有四项研究的结果。结果表明,当使用想象-他人视角时,最小化只意味着宽大;但是,如果直接向嫌疑人提供宽大警告,则可以成功地消除这种影响。

Re-Reading Between the Lines: A Re-Evaluation of the Pragmatic Implications of Minimization Within Police Interrogations

Past research has suggested that minimization (i.e., downplaying the moral or psychological seriousness of the crime) pragmatically implies that a suspect will receive a more lenient sentence in exchange for information, and this cannot be mitigated by a leniency warning. Across four studies (Ns = 187, 124, 236, and 241), participants read a case overview involving a break and enter, a suspect-interview transcript, and then answered questions regarding various perceptions of the interview and potential subsequent judicial process. We manipulated (1) the perspective taken by participants in the follow-up questions (Self v. Other) and (2) the language and placement of the leniency warning. We then conducted a mini meta-analysis that incorporated findings from all four studies. Results indicated that minimization only implies leniency when an imagine-other perspective is used; however, this effect can be successfully negated if a leniency warning is provided directly to the suspect.

期刊介绍: Applied Cognitive Psychology seeks to publish the best papers dealing with psychological analyses of memory, learning, thinking, problem solving, language, and consciousness as they occur in the real world. Applied Cognitive Psychology will publish papers on a wide variety of issues and from diverse theoretical perspectives. The journal focuses on studies of human performance and basic cognitive skills in everyday environments including, but not restricted to, studies of eyewitness memory, autobiographical memory, spatial cognition, skill training, expertise and skilled behaviour. Articles will normally combine realistic investigations of real world events with appropriate theoretical analyses and proper appraisal of practical implications.
