在实验1中，我们研究了三个采访风格的警察，解释，信息收集和行为分析，揭示言语线索欺骗，测量与基于标准的内容分析（CBCA）和现实监测（RM）的方法。共有120名模拟嫌疑人对一个上演的事件说了真话或撒谎，并接受了一名警官采用这三种面试风格之一的面试。结果表明，通常导致嫌疑人做出简短否认的澄清性采访包含最少的欺骗口头暗示。此外，RM比CBCA更好地区分了说真话者和说谎者。最后，手动RM编码导致更多的口头线索，欺骗比自动编码的RM标准，利用语言调查和字数统计（LIWC）software programmes.In实验2，我们研究了三个警察面试风格的影响，以检测欺骗的能力。68名警察观看了实验1的一些录像采访，并作出了真实性和信心的判断。三种采访风格的准确性得分没有差异;然而，观看指责性采访比观看信息收集采访导致更多的虚假指控（指责说真话的人撒谎）。此外，只有在解释性访谈中，对谎言的判断与更高的信心有关。我们讨论了进行解释性采访的可能危险。
In Experiment 1, we examined whether three interview styles used by the police, accusatory, information-gathering and behaviour analysis, reveal verbal cues to deceit, measured with the Criteria-Based Content Analysis (CBCA) and Reality Monitoring (RM) methods. A total of 120 mock suspects told the truth or lied about a staged event and were interviewed by a police officer employing one of these three interview styles. The results showed that accusatory interviews, which typically result in suspects making short denials, contained the fewest verbal cues to deceit. Moreover, RM distinguished between truth tellers and liars better than CBCA. Finally, manual RM coding resulted in more verbal cues to deception than automatic coding of the RM criteria utilising the Linguistic Inquiry and Word Count (LIWC) software programme.In Experiment 2, we examined the effects of the three police interview styles on the ability to detect deception. Sixty-eight police officers watched some of the videotaped interviews of Experiment 1 and made veracity and confidence judgements. Accuracy scores did not differ between the three interview styles; however, watching accusatory interviews resulted in more false accusations (accusing truth tellers of lying) than watching information-gathering interviews. Furthermore, only in accusatory interviews, judgements of mendacity were associated with higher confidence. We discuss the possible danger of conducting accusatory interviews.
