We assessed experimental false confession studies using a meta-analysis to evaluate the prevalence of false confessions across methodologies and several moderator variables. False confessions were more likely in typing task studies than in collaborative or individual cheating studies. In typing studies, speed of typing did not affect false confession rates, but placement of the forbidden key in locations that rendered errors less plausible lowered the false confession rates. False-evidence ploys increased the likelihood of false confessions. We explore implications for courts, expert witnesses, scholars, and police interrogators.
我们使用荟萃分析评估了实验性虚假供述研究，以评估跨方法和几个调节变量的虚假供述发生率。在打字任务研究中，虚假供述比在协作或个人作弊研究中更有可能出现。在打字研究中，打字速度不会影响虚假供述率，但将禁用键放置在使错误不太可信的位置会降低虚假供述率。虚假证据策略增加了虚假供述的可能性。我们探讨了这对法院、专家证人、学者和警方审讯人员的影响。
