The Analysis of Child Interviews from Empirical Studies There are various types of good and bad interviewing procedures that can be used to maximize or minimize the amount of correct information. The interview conducted by Kathleen MacFarlane comprises appalling interviewing techniques. MacFarlane questions the child with suggestive questions throughout the interview. For example, MacFarlane suggestively asks the child “Oh, and it went flash?” and “Did little pictures go zip, come out of it?” without allowing the child to elaborate on his responses. Suggestive questioning remains a significant problem in interviews because it promotes bias and emboldens children to report inaccurate information. The empirical research that supports the negative influences of suggestive questioning emphasizes on preschoolers’ reports. For instance, 176 children between the ages of three and six years were interviewed with suggestive and stereotypical questions (Leichtman & Ceci, …show more content…
I would suggest that the interviewer should focus on open-ended questions that allow the child to elaborate on his responses. “Tell me everything that happened” remains a compelling open-ended prompt that also allows the interviewer to build rapport with the child. Scientific evidence shows that open-ended questions elicit more accurate information from children compared to close-ended questions (Leichtman & Ceci, 1995).
MacFarlane also does not provide the child with any social support, but behaves with hostility and unfriendliness during the interview. For example, MacFarlane called the child “dumb” and evaluated the memory of the child as “too bad” during the interview. The interviewer also made a degrading remark against the child such as “we really know you're smarter than you look,” which implies that the child does not physically appear
Due to the child’s age and developmental stage, the history was obtained from asking the mother a combination of open and closed questions, the open questions allows the parent time to speak, as this may reveal many issues without having to ask specific questions (Bedwani et al. 2011).

The urgent care clinic nurse is treating a client who is experiencing abdominal pain. The client states, “I think I ate tainted food last night.” What should the nurse do after the client states that the food was tainted?
The shadow health assignments make one think in a simple yet complicated way. Compound questions cannot be asked, at times we forget that when asking questions to our patients and think that they are medically savvy. Simple open ended questions is the way to go. The shadow assignments are lengthy but when I started them and didn’t get into the appropriate questions, my scores were low. Able to see the progression of learning and interviewing in a way that flows and addresses each system correctly.
earlier clinical interviews include the risk of leading the child to views he does not possess due to
Forensic interviews will also help to identify if anyone had coached the child before the interview to answer a certain way, which will help prove claims of abuse
Notebook Activity #5- Awareness Summary of experience: I found this notebook activity to be the most challenging one that we had to do, because interviewing a three year old is very difficult, especially when they are in a place that is comfortable to them and they have many opportunities to distract themselves from being interviewed. This is exactly what happened during my interview with Malachi. Despite the fact that Malachi was severely distracted and did not want to answer the questions that I asked him, it was also very hard to determine which questions I should ask him.
In those several employs, has a child who is called Sirius, is a 13 years old boy who was be interviewed, he have been educated for three years, because he knows lots of thing the other children do not
I was not as equipped to provide in-depth responses as I would have been if this interview was focused more about the children, which I reviewed, rather than on the research aspect. In the future, I would respond differently because I wish to display my knowledge and positive attributes to illustrate why I would be a contributing intern. Thus, my responses would be modified by ensuring I gain as much knowledge as possible for the field in which I will be interviewing, which will also enable me to be prepared for a variety of questions. My second interview was conducted by Dr. Harvey. The scenario was based on being a behavior technician to oversee children with behavioral issues.
The mothers were asked around 200 questions involving their child development and behaviour at 6 months of age and again at 18 months of age. The questions were not geared towards ADHD, but instead were very general questions about the childs skills and other areas of functioning. There was also a question asking the mother about the expirience of of raising her child. If her answer had the word “difficult”, the interview would ask, why, then eventually seperating the answers into 14 catagories. When the child was between 8-14 years old, the mother was then contacted to see if their child had been clinically diagnosied with
While it is well established that children can provide accurate information when not asked leading questions, the opposite is also true. Children can provide false information when improper interviewing techniques are used (Bruck & Ceci, 1999; Ceci & Bruck, 1995; Cheit, 2014; Faller, 1996; Lamb, et al., 1995; Lamb, et al.,
You and I have similar opinions on the three-different skills Anna used throughout her role play with Sean. I also stated in my discussion post how Anna was able to utilize open-ended question in a productive way to get more information out of Sean. James and Gilliland stated “open-ended questions encourage clients to respond with full statements and at deeper levels of meaning. Remember that open-ended questions are used to elicit from clients something about their feelings, thoughts, and behaviors are particularly helpful in the problem exploration task” (pg., 75). I believe Anna utilized open-ended questions effectively and like you stated in your post she was able to guide him into the direction she wanted the session to go in order gain
The issue of whether interviewers should use interview aids has been given attention by researchers. Although the use of anatomically-correct dolls has been called into question, still it appears that the use of dolls and drawings, among other interview aids, depends on the training and skill of the interviewer (Brown et al., 2007; Katz and Hamama, 2013, Poole and Dickinson, 2011). Newlin and her colleagues (2015) indicate that continuing research is needed to better shed light on how and when the use of interview aids might positively influence children’s verbal description of remembered events.
This title, that Pope Gregory the Great (Gregory) used in 590CE to describe his role as the Bishop of Rome, is one that the current Bishop of Rome, Pope Francis, lives out in both his words and in his actions and shows how influential Gregory was, not only in his own time but in the church today. I will highlight the extent of Gregory’s influence by looking at is work, including the liturgy of the church, the mission of the church, the development of monastic life and the outreach of the church to the poor(The dialogues of St. Gregory the Great: An old English version, 1874).
Each generation has their differences and similarities, including ideas that have been developed and evolved to fit into the world people live in today. When thinking about different generations and how many things have changed, a good question to ask is: which generation has impacted the world to make it a better place? The answer to this question could determine which generation has been the most generous in the world, and which generation feels as though they have fulfilled their life's purpose. Many believe that the Millennial generation is worthless, entitled, and lazy; however, the Millennials are very similar to previous generation's, and are perhaps an even more efficient generation.
The person I interviewed was my niece Abby, she is three almost four years old Caucasian, also family also Caucasian middle class. The family would take care of their children until they got her into a good daycare. Her developmental history from what I know is regular to spot on. Let’s move on to the environment, analysis of the observation and lastly the conclusion.
