Interrogative suggestibility and perceptual motor performance.

G H Gudjonsson

    Perceptual and Motor Skills
    |April 1, 1984
    PubMed
    Summary

    Individuals showing higher interrogative suggestibility, or the tendency to alter answers under pressure, also demonstrated poorer performance on the Arrow-Dot Ego functioning test. This suggests a link between suggestibility and cognitive performance under stress.

    Area of Science:

    • Psychology
    • Cognitive Science

    Background:

    • Interrogative suggestibility is a key factor in witness testimony.
    • Ego functioning impacts cognitive performance and decision-making.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To examine the correlation between interrogative suggestibility and Arrow-Dot scores.
    • To understand how interpersonal pressure affects response accuracy.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized the Gudjonsson Suggestibility Scale to measure interrogative suggestibility.
    • Assessed participants (25 men, 25 women; mean age 30.2 yr) using the Arrow-Dot test.
    • Analyzed the relationship between suggestibility scores and Arrow-Dot performance.

    Main Results:

    • A significant negative correlation was found between suggestibility and Arrow-Dot scores.
    • Increased tendency to alter answers under interpersonal pressure was linked to poorer Arrow-Dot Ego functioning.

    Conclusions:

    • Suggestibility, particularly under pressure, is associated with impaired cognitive functioning.
    • Findings highlight the impact of psychological factors on performance metrics.
