The current study examined investigative interviews using the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) Investigative Interview Protocol with 204, five- to thirteen-year-old suspected victims of child sexual abuse. The analyses focused on who children told, who they wanted (or did not want) to tell and why, their expectations about being believed, and other general motivations for disclosure. Children's spontaneous reports as well as their responses to interviewer questions about disclosure were explored. Results demonstrated that the majority of children discussed disclosure recipients in their interviews, with 78 children (38%) explaining their disclosures. Only 15 children (7%) mentioned expectations about whether recipients would believe their disclosures. There were no differences between the types of information elicited by interviewers and those provided spontaneously, suggesting that, when interviewed in an open-ended, facilitative manner, children themselves produce informative details about their disclosure histories. Results have practical implications for professionals who interview children about sexual abuse.
当前的研究使用国家儿童健康与人类发展研究所（NICHD）的调查性访谈协议对 204 名 5 至 13 岁的疑似儿童性虐待受害儿童进行了调查性访谈。分析的重点是儿童向谁讲述了，他们希望（或不希望）向谁讲述，以及原因，他们对被相信的期望，以及其他披露的一般动机。探讨了儿童的自发报告以及他们对访谈者关于披露问题的回应。研究结果表明，大多数儿童在访谈中讨论了披露对象，其中 78 名儿童（38%）解释了他们的披露内容。只有 15 名儿童（7%）提到了他们对披露对象是否会相信他们的披露的期望。访谈者引出的信息类型与儿童自发提供的信息类型没有差异，这表明，当以开放式、促进式的方式接受访谈时，儿童自己会提供有关其披露历史的详细信息。研究结果对那些对儿童进行性虐待访谈的专业人士具有实际意义。
