people's minds are susceptible to influence

Why on earth would an innocent person falselyconfess to committing a crime? To most people, it just doesn't seem logical.But it is logical, say experts, if you understand what can happen in a policeinterrogation (审讯) room.

Under the right conditions, people's minds aresusceptible (易受影响的) to influence, and the pressure puton suspects during police grillings (盘问) is enormous.(46) "The pressure is important to understand, because otherwise it'simpossible to understand why someone would say he did something he didn't do.The answer is: to put an end to an uncomfortable situation that will continueuntil he does confess."

Developmental psychologist Allison Redlichrecently conducted a laboratory study to determine how likely people are toconfess to things they didn't do. (47) The researchers then intentionallycrashed the computers and accused the participants of hitting the"alt" key to see if they would sign a statement falsely takingresponsibility.

Redlich's findings clearly demonstrate how easyit can be to get people to falsely confess: 59 percent of the young adults inthe experiment immediately confessed. (48) Of the 15- to 16-year-olds,72percent signed confessions, as did 78 percent of the 12- to 13-year-olds.

"There's no question that young people aremore at risk," says Saul Kassin, a psychology professor at WilliamsCollege, who has done similar studies with similar results. (49)

Both Kassin and Redlich note that the entire"interrogation" in their experiments consisted of a simpleaccusation--not hours of aggressive questioning--and still, most participantsfalsely confessed.

Because of the stress of a policeinterrogation, they conclude, suspects can become convinced that falselyconfessing, is the easiest way out of a bad situation. (50)

A In her experiment, participants were seatedat computers and told not to hit the "alt" key, because doing sowould crash the systems.

B "In some ways," says Kassin,"false confession becomes a rational decision."

C "It's a little like somebody's workingon them with a dental (牙齿的) drill," says Franklin 确Zimring, a law professor at the University of California atBerkeley.

D "But adults are highly vulnerabletoo."

E How could an innocent person admit to doingsomething he didn't do?

F Redlich also found that the younger theparticipant, the more likely a false confession.
