Abstract
The study investigated the response alternatives of suggestible and no n-suggestible adolescents as assessed by the Gudjonsson Suggestibility Scale. A theoretical model of interrogative suggestibility (Gudjonsso n & Clark, 1986) hypothesized that highly suggestible individuals were particularly susceptible to changing their responses to false-alterna tive questions following negative feedback during interrogation. The r esults of the present study did not support this hypothesis in a sampl e of forensic adolescents. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights r eserved.
