问题共用题干 Why Would They Falsely Confess?

Why on earth would an innocent person falsely confess 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 police interrogation（审讯）room.
Under the right conditions, people's minds are susceptible（易受影响的）to influence, and t
he pressure put on suspects during police grillings（盘问）is enormous.________(1)
"The pressure is important to understand,because otherwise it's impossible 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 continue until he does confess."
Developmental psychologist Allison Redlich recently conducted a laboratory study to
determine how likely people are to confess to things they didn't do.________(2)The
researchers then intentionally crashed the computers and accused the participants of hitting
the"alt"key to see if they would sign a statement falsely taking responsibility.
Redlich's findings clearly demonstrate how easy it can be to get people to falsely
confess : 59 percent of the young adults in the experiment immediately comfessd.
__________ (3) Of the 15 to 16 year olds, 72 percent signed confessions ,as did 78
percent of the 1 2-to-1 3-year olds.
"There's no question that young people are more at risk, " says Saul Kassin, a
psychology professor at Williams College,who has done similar studies with similar results.
________(4)
Both Kassin and Redlich note that the entire"interrogation"in their experiments
consisted of a simple accusation一not hours of aggressive questioning一and still,most
participants falsely confessed.
Because of the stress of a police interrogation,they conclude,suspects can become
convinced that falsely confessing is the easiest way out of a bad situation.________(5)

选项 _________（4） A:In her experiment,participants were seated at computers and told not to hit the"alt" key,because doing so would crash the systems. B:"In some ways,"says Kassin,"false confession becomes a rational decision." C:" It's a little like somebody's working on them with a dental（牙齿的）drill," says Franklin Zimring,a law professor at the University of California at Berkeley. D:"But adults are highly vulnerable too." E:How could an innocent person admit to doing something he didn't do? F:Redlich also found that the younger the participant,the more likely a false confession.

答案 D
