As children can be victims or witnesses to crimes and may be required to testify about their experiences in court, the ability to differentiate between children's true and fabricated accounts of victimization is an important issue. This study used automated linguistic analysis software to detect linguistic patterns in order to differentiate between children's true and false stressful bullying reports and reports of non-stressful events. Results revealed that children displayed different linguistic patterns when reporting true and false stressful and non-stressful stories, with non-stressful stories being more accurately discriminated based on linguistic patterns. Results suggest that it is difficult to discriminate accurately and consistently between children's true and false stories of victimization.
由于儿童可能是犯罪的受害者或目击者，并且可能被要求在法庭上就他们的经历作证，因此区分儿童关于受害经历的真实陈述和编造陈述的能力是一个重要问题。本研究使用自动语言分析软件来检测语言模式，以便区分儿童关于压力性欺凌的真实和虚假报告以及非压力性事件的报告。结果显示，儿童在报告真实和虚假的压力性及非压力性事件时表现出不同的语言模式，基于语言模式对非压力性事件的区分更为准确。结果表明，很难准确且一致地区分儿童关于受害经历的真实和虚假陈述。
