The present study examined whether a training model that focuses on consistent exposure to protocol procedure, self-evaluation, and intensive peer-review sessions could improve interviewers' ability to adhere to best practices. Law students (N = 19) interviewed 5- to 10-year-old children on a weekly basis as part of a semester-long forensic child interviewing class. They transcribed their interviews, and participated in one-hour self and peer-reviews. The proportion of each question type was calculated (option-posing, Wh-, and open-invitations) within each interview for each interviewer. Across ten weeks of interviews, interviewers consistently improved their performance, decreasing the proportion of option-posing questions by 31% and increasing the proportion of open-invitations by 47%. All interviewers improved. The present study suggests that with consistent self-evaluation and peer-review, forensic interviewers can incrementally improve their performance.
本研究探讨了一种专注于持续接触协议程序、自我评估和密集同行评审环节的培训模式是否能够提高访谈者遵循最佳实践的能力。作为一门为期一学期的法医儿童访谈课程的一部分，法律专业学生（N = 19）每周对5至10岁的儿童进行访谈。他们将访谈内容转录下来，并参加一小时的自我和同行评审。计算了每位访谈者每次访谈中每种问题类型（选项提出、特殊疑问句和开放式邀请）的比例。在为期十周的访谈中，访谈者的表现持续改善，选项提出问题的比例降低了31%，开放式邀请问题的比例增加了47%。所有访谈者都有进步。本研究表明，通过持续的自我评估和同行评审，法医访谈者能够逐步提高他们的表现。
