本文对英国东南部两个警察局的156名犯罪嫌疑人的某些心理特征进行了探索性因素分析。被拘留者在接受警方询问之前不久接受了心理评估。四个因素出现了：（1）心理健康，（2）记忆和消化能力，（3）以前的犯罪行为和（4）识字和智商。前三个因素的项目负荷几乎没有重叠，这表明被拘留在警察局的嫌疑人的一些心理特征可能不像有时假设的那样明确相关。
Abstract In the present study an exploratory factor analysis was performed on some psychological characteristics of 156 suspects detained at two police stations in the south-east of England. The detainees had been assessed psychologically shortly before they were interviewed by the police. Four factors emerged: (1) mental health, (2) memory and suggestibility, (3) previous criminality and (4) literacy and IQ. There was little overlap of item loadings on the first three factors, which indicates that some of the psychological characteristics of suspects detained at police stations may not be as clearly linked as is sometimes assumed.
