Abstract:

The present research investigates the use of motivating instructions to mitigate the biasing effects of coerced confessions. Participants read one of seven different versions of trial. Afterwards, they answered a questionnaire, which contained verdict decisions and confidence and voluntariness scores. The introduction of a coerced confession yielded more guilty verdicts than the control condition. Motivating instructions reduced the number of guilty verdicts relative to the no instructions conditions.
