Why professionals fail to catch liars and how they can improve (2004, unknown): “For example, college students are on average more intelligent that suspects in police interviews (Gudjonsson, 2003) and this difference in intelligence might affect the way they tell lies (Ekman & Frank, 1993).”
Plausibility and belief in autobiographical memory (2004, result): “This is in line with Gudjonsson’s (2003) work on false confessions in which he asserts that the first step in people reporting crimes that they did not commit is coming to believe they could have done them; which is to say that their commission of the crimes must first become plausible to them.”
Child and adult witnesses with intellectual disability: The importance of suggestibility (2003, background): “Suggestibility has been shown in a number of studies to correlate significantly with memory capacity (Gudjonsson, 2003).”
"You're Guilty, So Just Confess!" Cognitive and Behavioral Confirmation Biases in the Interrogation Room. (2004, methodology): “Although Inbau et al. (2001) have long opposed the videotaping of interrogations, and whereas the FBI prohibits it, the practice has many advocates (Cassell, 1996; Drizin & Colgan, 2001; Gudjonsson, 2003; Leo, 1996; Wrightsman & Kassin, 1985).”
Criminal versus HUMINT Interrogations: The Importance of Psychological Science to Improving Interrogative Practice (2010, unknown): “Innocent individuals inevitably end up in the interrogation room—hence, this motivation to obtain a confession creates a risk for obtaining false confessions by exposing potential ly vulnerable individuals to manipulative interrogative techniques (see Gudjonsson, 2003; Kassin & Gudjonsson, 2004).”
A new theoretical perspective on deception detection: On the psychology of instrumental mind-reading (2008, methodology): “An interviewer biased by stereotyping might come to adopt a confessionoriented approach to the interview, by for example using different ‘minimizing’ or ‘maximizing’ tactics in order to get a confession (Gudjonsson, 2003, Inbau, Reid, Buckley & Jayne, 2001).”
Psychological vulnerabilities during police interviews. Why are they important (2010, methodology): “As far as psychological vulnerabilities are concerned, these should not be interpreted in isolation to other surrounding factors (Gudjonsson, 2003a, b).”
Jurors believe interrogation tactics are not likely to elicit false confessions: will expert witness testimony inform them otherwise? (2011, background): “…false confessions are more likely in juvenile populations (Drizin & Leo, 2004; OwenKostelnik, Reppucci, & Meyer, 2006), those determined to be highly compliant (Blair, 2007; Gudjonsson, 2003), highly suggestible (Gudjonsson, 1991, 2003) and of low levels of intelligence (Gudjonsson, 1991, 2003).”
High functioning autism spectrum disorders: an investigation of psychological vulnerabilities during interrogative interview (2008, background): “Gudjonsson (2003) recommends that psychological tests of suggestibility and compliance may then be useful supplements to an assessment of intellectual ability and mental state, and provide important information about the strengths and vulnerabilities of an alleged offender.”
Police Officers’ Lie Detection Accuracy: Interrogating Freely Versus Observing Video (2004, background): “Several scholars have severely criticized the techniques proposed by Inbau and colleagues, partly on the grounds that they may lead to false confessions (Gudjonsson, 2002; Kassin, 1997).”
What really happens in police interviews of suspects? Tactics and confessions (2009, background): “This lack of interaction created a ‘vacuum’ that drew police around the world to guidance on suspect interviewing that has not had the benefit of being informed by published psychological research and theory (Gudjonsson, 2003; Kassin, 2006; Vrij, 2002; Williamson, 2006a).”
