Participants listened to a mock-interview with an alibi witness who, as the interview progressed, either altered or maintained their alibi statements in response to an interviewer’s implicit threat (Experiments 1-3), explanation of how memory works (Experiments 1-3), explicit threat (Experiments 2 & 3), or no attempt to influence the alibi witness’s account (i.e. control condition, Experiments 2 & 3). A mini-meta-analysis showed that changes in the alibi witness’ account negatively impacted ratings of suspect innocence (Md = −1.21) and alibi witness credibility (Md = -.79). The effect of changes in an alibi witness’s statement as a function of interview strategy was largest for the control (Md = −0.65) and implicit threat (Md = −0.65) conditions, followed by the explicit threat (Md = −0.51), and memory-based explanations (Md = −0.42). The implications of these findings for alibi witnesses, suspects, and criminal investigations are discussed.
