寫在前面:此文譯自問(wèn)答網(wǎng)站Quaro,問(wèn)題"What is the easiest way to catch a liar?"下,答主Desmond Ravenstone的回答。
這是一個(gè)在警局做審訊的熟人告訴我的小技巧,后來(lái)我也在別處得到了驗(yàn)證:當(dāng)別人說(shuō)完他們的故事之后,向他們發(fā)問(wèn)使其再?gòu)?fù)述一遍(例:“你說(shuō)你當(dāng)時(shí)下車時(shí)做了什么?”),但是以從故事結(jié)尾到開(kāi)頭的順序提問(wèn)。因?yàn)榕c那些憑真是記憶敘述的人相比,編故事的人很難記住反向的細(xì)節(jié)。
原文:This is a technique that an acquaintance of mine - a police officer who did interrogations - suggested to me, and I later confirmed from another source: After they tell their story, go over it with them again in the form of questions (e.g., “And what did you do when you got out of the car?”) but do it backwards from the end of the story to the beginning. Someone fabricating a story is going to have a harder time keeping details straight going from end to beginning, as opposed to someone recalling those details from memory.
