Computer assessment of interrogative suggestibility

The purpose of this investigation was to construct a computer-administered version of the Gudjonsson Suggestibility Scale (Gudjonsson, 1984) that could convey the critical feedback component of the test effectively. Two automated versions of the GSS were made, one with critical feedback and one with neutral feedback. As expected, critical feedback produced higher shift suggestibility than did neutral feedback. The computer-based critical feedback version of the test also produced higher shift suggestibility than the GSS normative shift value. Implications of these findings are discussed.
