SUGGESTION INFLUENCED DISTORTED TESTIMONY OF MINORS
Abstract
Suggestion is one of influences that may distort child witness testimony. Suggestion may
originate from many sources, important ones being the childs parents, people who are trusted, the
guardians as well as those who create the child’s way of perception o f the reality. One of the examples
of an attempt of distorting child’s testimony is a situation of domestic violence in marital conflicts
made public. Parents who experience difficult emotions and encounter own problems often include
children into their conflict and try to influence their memories about the other parent. In disputes and
family court proceedings children testimony is a common and important proof. Consequently, an
adequate estimation of potential testimony distortions and certainty of testimony credibility are
crucial. The paper contains a review of theoretical models of suggestion which use different
psychological mechanisms to explain its course.
