专业的指导方针，法医采访的儿童强调认知因素与记忆检索和不太注意的情绪因素，可能会抑制合作。对建立融洽关系的额外关注是否会改变与家庭内虐待的据称受害者进行访谈的动态，这些受害者往往不合作？对199名在访谈时提出指控的疑似受害者的访谈记录进行了编码，以确定访谈前实质性部分中访谈者支持和儿童不情愿和不合作的表达。一半的儿童接受采访时使用的协议，强调加强融洽关系的建设和非暗示性的支持，其他人使用标准的NICHD协议。虽然在使用基于回忆的问题方面没有组间差异，但使用以融洽为中心的协议进行的访谈包含更多支持性评论和更少的不支持性评论。以这种方式接受采访的儿童表现出较少的不情愿，而不情愿的程度又与儿童提供的与法医有关的细节数量有关。因此，注重加强建立融洽关系改变了访谈的动态，但没有改变所提问题的适当性或法医风险。
Professional guidelines for forensic interviews of children emphasize cognitive factors associated with memory retrieval and pay less attention to emotional factors that may inhibit cooperativeness. Can an additional focus on rapport-building alter the dynamics of interviews with alleged victims of intra-familial abuse, who are often uncooperative? Transcripts of interviews with 199 suspected victims who made allegations when interviewed were coded to identify expressions of interviewer support and children's reluctance and uncooperativeness in the pre-substantive portions of the interviews. Half of the children were interviewed using a Protocol that emphasized enhanced rapport-building and non-suggestive support, the others using the standard NICHD Protocol. Although there were no group differences in the use of recall-based questions, interviews conducted using the rapport-focused Protocol contained more supportive comments and fewer unsupportive comments. Children interviewed in this way showed less reluctance and the level of reluctance was in turn associated with the number of forensically relevant details provided by the children. A focus on enhanced rapport-building thus altered interview dynamics without changing the appropriateness or forensic riskiness of the questions asked.
