Despite suggestibility researchers' focus on adult behaviors that distort children's reports, whether behaviors examined in experimental work are used in the field is unknown. The current study presents a mutually exclusive and exhaustive hierarchical coding system that reflects interview questioning behaviors of concern in experimental work. The study examined 80 unstructured interviews conducted by 41 field interviewers with 40 children ages 3 to 7 about known events. Data on the use of leading and neutral questions are presented and include distinctions between accurate and inaccurate suggested information. In addition, analyses show that interviewers are consistent in their style of questioning and that a preinterview measure of interviewers' preference for a qualitative versus a quantitative interviewing style predicted the introduction of novel information into the interview.
尽管易受暗示性研究人员关注的是那些会扭曲儿童报告的成人行为，但在实验工作中所研究的行为是否会在实际场景中被采用尚不清楚。当前的研究提出了一个相互排斥且详尽无遗的分层编码系统，该系统反映了实验工作中令人关注的访谈提问行为。这项研究考察了41名现场访谈员对40名3至7岁儿童就已知事件进行的80次无结构化访谈。文中呈现了关于引导性问题和中性问题使用情况的数据，包括准确和不准确的暗示信息之间的差异。此外，分析表明访谈员在提问风格上具有一致性，并且访谈员在定性与定量访谈风格上的偏好的预访谈测量结果能够预测新信息在访谈中的引入情况。
