Interviewing Children about Past Events: The Influence of Peer Support and Misleading Questions.
Greenstock, Jemma; Pipe, Margaret-Ellen
Child Abuse & Neglect: The International Journal, v20 n1 p69-80 Jan 1996
This study investigated the influence of peer support and leading or misleading questions on reports of a neutral event by 48 children (ages 5 to 10). Younger children made significantly more errors in response to directly misleading questions than to indirectly misleading questions. Peer support did not influence children's prompted recall reports. (Author/DB)
