자기기입식 면담과 라인업 구성이 목격자 기억에 미치는 영향

초록

Witness statements are critical in identifying perpetrators and determining the direction of an investigation. In order to obtain specific and accurate statements immediately after the incident, self-administered interview techniques have been developed to prevent distortion of witness memory, but empirical studies are insufficient as the discussion focuses on the quantity and accuracy of statements. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the effects of interview types and Target Present/Absent in the lineup on eyewitness recall accuracy and identification accuracy, with the aim of validating the effectiveness of the self-administered interview technique in order to introduce it into domestic practice. After analyzing the responses of 100 adults in two rounds of experiments, the results showed that participants who completed the self-administered interview showed higher recall accuracy than those who completed the structured interview. The results of the study discuss the practical applicability of the self-administered interview technique and provide implications for ensuring the credibility of eyewitness statement.
