===External=== *'''Interviewer bias:''' Interviewer bias is the opinion or prejudice on the part of an interviewer, which is displayed during the interview process and thus affects the outcome of the interview. This happens when interviewers pursue only a single hypothesis that supports what they already think, and ignore any details that counter their hypothesis. The goal is not to get the truth, but to simply corroborate what is already believed. Interviewer bias is commonly experienced when extracting information from children. *'''Repeated questions:''' It has been shown that asking children the same question over and over again in an interview will often cause the child to reverse their first answer, especially in yes or no questions. It is the child's belief that since the question is being repeated that they must have not answered correctly and need to change their answer.<ref>{{cite journal| vauthors = Bjorklund DF, Bjorklund BR, Brown RD, Cassel WS | date = June 1998 |title=Children's Susceptibility to Repeated Questions: How Misinformation Changes Children's Answers and Their Minds|journal=Applied Developmental Science|language=en|volume=2|issue=2|pages=99β111|doi=10.1207/s1532480xads0202_4 }}</ref> *'''Interviewer's tone:''' Children are extremely perceptive of people's tones, especially in an interview situation. When an interviewer's tone dictates the questioning, a child is likely to construct memories of past events when they actually have no memory of that event. An example would be that when a positive tone is used, it has shown to produce more detailed accounts of events. However, it has also been shown to produce false information intended to appease the interviewer. *'''Peer interactions:''' Children's accounts of events can be greatly distorted by information from their peers. In some cases, children who were not present for an event will later recall witnessing the event as well as details about the event. This information come from hearing about the event as described by their peers.<ref>{{cite journal | vauthors = Principe GF, Ceci SJ | title = "I saw it with my own ears": the effects of peer conversations on preschoolers' reports of nonexperienced events | journal = Journal of Experimental Child Psychology | volume = 83 | issue = 1 | pages = 1β25 | date = September 2002 | pmid = 12379416 | doi = 10.1016/S0022-0965(02)00120-0 }}</ref> These children may speak up in order to feel included. *'''Repeating misinformation:''' Repeating misinformation is simply when an interviewer gives a child incorrect details of an event. This technique is used over several interviews and occurs several times within a single interview. It has been shown to have a great effect on the accuracy of a child's recollection of an event, and eventually, the misinformation will be included in the child's account of a given event.
