Interrogative Suggestibility in an Adolescent Forensic Occupation.
Richardson, G.; And Others
Journal of Adolescence, v18 n2 p211-16 Apr 1995
Sixty-five juvenile offenders in residential care completed the Gudjonsson Suggestibility Scale, and their scores were matched for IQ and memory with those of 60 adult offenders. The juveniles gave in significantly more to interrogative pressure through negative feedback but were no more yielding to leading questions than adults. (JPS)
