Rating, may allow investigators to assess accuracy in a familiar suspect situation. Some flexibility when it comes to confidence ratings, seeing a decline in a confidence The eyewitness has does not impact the accuracy outcomes, but rather any past knowledgeĪbout the familiar individual may improve target-absent lineup accuracy. Implications suggest the first impressions It was also found that confidence significantly fell in familiarĬonditions when the participant misidentified. Higher accuracy rates in comparison to individuals who received no information when familiar conditions who received information had Target is familiar to the eyewitness, when utilizing a target-absent identification line-up. This research is to investigate whether first impressions influence decisions when the Swayed by additional information (Baker, ten Brinke, & Porter, 2013). There is evidence in the literature suggesting first impressions, though resilient, can be These results advance theory on witness identification performance and have important practical implications for how police should construct lineups when suspects have distinctive features. Accuracy was also reduced at every level of confidence. Compared to the fair lineups, doing nothing not only increased subjects’ willingness to identify the suspect, it also markedly impaired subjects’ ability to distinguish between innocent and guilty suspects. single experiment (N = 8925), we compared three fair lineup techniques used by the police to unfair lineups in which we did nothing to prevent distinctive suspects from standing out. We asked whether unfair lineups-featuring suspects with distinctive features-also influence subjects’ ability to distinguish between innocent and guilty suspects, and their ability to judge the accuracy of their identification. Eyewitness identification studies have focused on the idea that unfair lineups, in which the suspect stands out, make witnesses more willing to identify that suspect.
