Drawing to conclusion: The use of drawings to aid information gathering and deception detecting in investigative interviews.

这项研究的目的将是系统地探索利用诱导性信息和线索进行欺骗的请求的效果。这将通过检查素描和叙述是否加强了说真者和说谎者在提供的信息量上的差异来完成。它还将决定说谎者和说真话的人制作的草图是否有所不同。这将通过随机将参与者分配到真实或谎言条件来实现。然后，说谎者将被要求如实描述他们在过去6个月中经历的令人难忘的事件，而说谎者将被要求捏造事件。在每种情况下，一半的参与者将被要求在讲述这一事件的同时绘制素描，而另一半的参与者将不会被指示绘制素描。面试将由开放式问题(“尽可能详细地描述你在……时的经历”)组成。每一次采访都将被录音和录像，然后被转录。这些转录将被编码，以便在每种情况下的参与者之间进行比较。此外，图纸将通过计算提供的细节数量和这些细节的质量进行编码。这个项目将包括一系列实验，检验素描在叙述时的效果。

The objective of this research will be to methodically explore the effect of a request to draw on eliciting information and cues to deceit. This will be completed by examining whether sketching whilst narrating enhances the differences between truth-tellers and liars in the amount of information they provide. It will also determine whether the sketches produced by liars and truth-tellers differ from each other. This will be achieved by randomly allocating participants to either a truth or lie condition. Truth-tellers will then be instructed to truthfully describe a memorable event that they had experienced in the past 6 months, whereas liars will be asked to fabricate an event. Half of the participants in each condition will be asked to sketch whilst narrating on this event whilst the other half will not be instructed to sketch. The interview will consist of open-ended questions ('Describe in as much detail as possible what you experienced when you...'). Each interview will be audio and video recorded that will then be transcribed. These transcriptions will be coded to make comparisons between participants in each condition. Additionally, the drawings will be coded by calculating the amount of details provided and the quality of these details. This project will include a series of experiments examining the effects of sketching whilst narrating.
