两项研究调查了儿童证人的年龄（5、10 或 15 岁）、沟通方式（有力与无力）以及检察官提问方法（主导与非主导）对其在录像模拟审判中的证词看法的影响。在实验 1 中，正如预测的那样，当儿童证人的沟通方式与成人的年龄相关期望形成鲜明对比时，对儿童证人可信度的评级最为极端。实验2的结果表明，孩子的沟通方式也强烈影响被告的看法。
Two studies investigated the effects of a child witness's age (5, 10, or 15 years old), communication style (powerful vs. powerless), and prosecuting attorney questioning methods (leading vs. nonleading) on perceptions of her testimony in a videotaped mock trial. In Experiment 1, as predicted, ratings of a child witness's credibility were most extreme when the child's communication style contrasted with adults' age-related expectations. Results of Experiment 2 showed that the child's communication style strongly affected perceptions of the defendant as well.
