EFFECTS OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AND EVALUATION OF CHILDREN

几项关于法医访谈的研究证实，开放式问题比集中式问题引起幼儿更长和更详细的回答，无论经历的事件数量和访谈所用的语言（英语，瑞典语或希伯来语）如何。其他研究表明，采访者可以通过遵循SSED设计的协议来增加儿童叙述的长度和丰富性，该协议旨在探索回忆记忆，并减少对更容易引出错误信息的更集中问题的依赖。目前特别关注的是可能影响对幼儿以及不愿透露情况的儿童进行面谈的因素。另一项研究的重点是家庭暴力对儿童的影响，这些儿童要么是身体虐待的受害者，要么是配偶虐待的证人，要么既是受害者又是证人，要么既不是受害者也不是证人。1988/1989年首次对一组8至12岁的儿童进行了评估。1995年和1996年，对这些儿童、他们的父母和他们的老师进行了重新采访。报告的重点是不同举报人关于家庭暴力和儿童适应的报告之间的重大差异所产生的影响。- 法医面谈;性虐待;虐待儿童;家庭暴力;面试策略;实地研究;滥用披露-人类受试者和人类受试者：仅访谈、问卷调查或调查

Several studies of forensic interviews have confirmed that open-ended questions elicit longer and more detailed responses from young children than focused questions do, regardless of the number of incidents experienced and the language (English, Swedish, or Hebrew) in which the interview was conducted. Other studies have shown that interviewers can increase the length and richness of childrens accounts by following SSED- designed protocols designed to probe recall memory and reduce the reliance on more focused questions which are more likely to elicit erroneous information. Factors that might affect interviews of very young children, as well as children who are reluctant to disclose, are currently of special interest. Another study is focused on the effects of domestic violence on children who were either victims of physical abuse, witnesses of spousal abuse, both victims and witnesses, or neither victims nor witnesses. A group of children were first assessed in 1988/9 when they were between 8 and 12 years of age. The children, their parents, and their teachers were reinterviewed in 1995 and 1996. Reports have focused on the implications of major discrepancies between reports by different informants concerning both family violence and childrens adjustment. - Forensic interviews; sexual abuse; child abuse; domestic violence; interviewer strategies; field studies; disclosure of abuse - Human Subjects & Human Subjects: Interview, Questionaires, or Surveys Only
