Abstract
Participants watched videotaped interrogations leading to confessions. The interrogator's use of deception (control/FEP/Bluff) was varied as well as interrogation length (1/12 hours). Long interrogations were not seen as more coercive. Deceptive methods failed to produce differences in ratings for deception, coercion, nor did the deception produce lower guilt ratings.
