这项研究有几个目的。首先，验证Gudjonsson暗示性量表（GSS）的犯罪和青少年男孩放在一个评估和短期治疗中心。第二，测试假设，青春期的男孩特别容易受到建议时，他们的“压力”的负面反馈和指示。最后，探讨了记忆感受性与记忆回忆和自尊之间的关系。GSS管理的31名男孩（年龄11至16岁）谁已被独立评定的两名教师的可接受性和自尊的措施。建议性测量的GSS被发现与教师的评级的建议性显着相关，实证支持GSS的效标相关效度。与年轻的“正常”成年人相比，男孩并不比成年人更容易屈服于暗示性问题，除非他们的表现受到批评和负面反馈。研究结果表明，deliquent青少年可能特别敏感的人际压力在审讯。调查结果对警察审讯程序具有重要意义。
This study has several aims. First, to validate the Gudjonsson Suggestibility Scale (GSS) among delinquent and adolescent boys placed in an assessment and short-term treatment centre. Second, to test the hypothesis that adolescent boys are particularly susceptible to suggestions when they are ‘pressured’ by negative feedback and instructions. Finally, to investigate the hypothesis that suggestibility is related to memory recall and self-esteem. The GSS was administered to 31 boys (ages 11 to 16 yr) who had been independently rated by two teachers on measures of suggestibility and self-esteem. Suggestibility as measured by the GSS was found to correlate significantly with the teachers' ratings of suggestibility, supporting empirically the criterion-related validity of the GSS. Compared with young ‘normal’ adults the boys were no more likely to give in to suggestive questions than the adults, unless their performance was subjected to criticism and negative feedback. The results suggest that deliquent adolescents may be particularly responsive to interpersonal pressure during interrogation. The findings have important implications for police interrogation procedures.
