PSYC 2400 Lecture Notes - Lecture 7: Esc Key, Suggestibility, False Evidence
Document Summary
Experimental research on false confessions, polygraphs- today. This is an example of a: e) coerced-compliant false confession. If you hit alt button, all data will crash and you will lose data: suspect was accused of messing up experiment, *vulnerability was manipulated as was the presence of false evidence. If you were in fast pace and confederate said he/she saw you do it, 100% signed false confession: internalization- experimenter left room, next subject came in (another confederate)- i heard something happen from the other room. If participant said he/she hit the wrong key in the experiment, he/she is taking ownership: not as high as signing false confession, but still, in fast condition with false evidence, said he/she did something wrong. Alt key (looked up and finger slipped, etc. ) *false evidence played a big role in this: factors: manipulated false evidence, typing fast/slow measured false confession, internalization, confabulation. Experimental false confession paradigm: important factors (klavier et al. , 2008)-
