Essay

A researcher examined whether interrogators who expect a suspect to be guilty,rather than innocent,use more persuasive interrogation techniques.The researcher created a laboratory situation in which students were randomly assigned to actually commit a crime or not commit a crime by following a set of instructions given to them.This is referred to as "Suspect Status." Before student interrogators interviewed a suspect,they were randomly assigned to conditions that led them to believe the suspect was guilty or innocent of the crime.This is referred to as "Interrogator Expectation."
