Groups of individuals with or without mental retardation, all of whom were currently on probation, were tested with measures of comprehension of Miranda rights and of suggestibility. As in previous work, participants with mental retardation were found to be less able to comprehend their Miranda rights. In addition, they were significantly more likely to respond to suggestive questioning and to change their answers. Significant correlations were found between measures of comprehension of Miranda rights and measures of suggestibility. Implications of these results were discussed.
对正在缓刑期的有或没有智力障碍的个体群体进行了米兰达权利理解能力和易受暗示性的测试。与之前的研究一样,发现有智力障碍的参与者对米兰达权利的理解能力较差。此外,他们对暗示性提问做出回应并改变答案的可能性要大得多。在米兰达权利理解能力测试结果与易受暗示性测试结果之间发现了显著的相关性。讨论了这些结果的意义。
