| Abstract: | This study investigates the relationship between interrogative suggestibility and factors pertaining to perception of self-esteem and control. The subjects comprised 25 males and 25 females who were interrogated about a story they had heard. It was found that the larger the perceived distance between the self and the experimenter in terms of competence, power and control, the more suggestible the subjects were. The correlations were particularly high among the male subjects. The results suggest that interrogation techniques aimed at manipulating confidence and self-esteem may make some subjects especially susceptible to suggestive influences. |
