1. Suggestibility
Research on suggestibility examines how questioning and stress can affect a person’s responses and memory. The cited studies address interrogation stress, leading questions, pressure, false confessions, memory conformity, and the assessment of individual vulnerabilities, including findings from military survival-school participants.
2. The Gudjonsson Scales
The Gudjonsson Suggestibility Scales assess how people respond to leading questions and interpersonal pressure during formal questioning. The resource describes the Yield and Shift measures, their forensic and clinical uses, and research on their reliability, validity, administration, and limits as one component of a broader assessment.
3. The Personality Assessment Inventory
The Personality Assessment Inventory is a self-report measure of personality and psychopathology used in forensic and clinical settings. This overview describes its 344 items, clinical and validity scales, comparison samples, and reported reliability and validity, including its role in assessing treatment-related characteristics rather than directly measuring suggestibility.
4. Memory and Suggestibility with Head Trauma
This resource collects excerpts on confabulation and memory difficulties associated with brain injury. One reviewed case series links confabulation with impaired response monitoring and self-correction, while another source discusses memory-related misidentification syndromes and possible neurological mechanisms.
