False confessions, one of the main causes of misunderstanding of suspects in legal proceedings and leading to wrongful convictions, arise as a result of a combination of situational and individual factors. Situational factors include the interrogator's interrogation attitude and interrogation strategy; individual factors include the interrogated person's personality traits (suggestibility and compliance). Therefore, this study examined the effects of interrogator interrogation attitudes and interrogation strategies as well as interviewees' personality traits on false confessions. A completely randomized experimental design was adopted with 2 (Interrogator's Interrogation Attitude: Friendly & Serious) x 3 (Interrogator's Interrogation Tactics: Explicit FEP & Implicit FEP & No FEP) x 2 (Personality Traits of the Interrogated: Susceptibility to Suggestion & Compliance), and the subjects' personality traits (Susceptibility to Suggestion and Compliance) were measured at the end of the experiment. The experimental study was conducted among 120 students enrolled in Southwest University, 28 males and 92 females, and the results found that: (1) the interrogator's interrogation attitude had no significant effect on false confessions; the interrogator's interrogation strategy had a significant effect on the production of false confessions; regardless of the use of any interrogation strategy, it was more likely to trigger false confessions than no interrogation strategy, in which the implicit FEP evoked more false confessions than the explicit FEP; (2) in the case of the subjects who had been interrogated, their personality traits (suggestibility and compliance) were measured at the end of the experiment. confessions; (2) among the interrogatees' personality traits, susceptibility to suggestibility had a significant effect on false confessions, with the higher the degree of susceptibility to suggestibility of the interrogatees, the more likely they were to produce false confessions; whereas adherence had no significant effect on false confessions. In addition, this study investigated subjects' confession stress and found that subjects who made false confessions had higher confession stress than those who did not make false confessions.
