C. A. Meissner 4
RESEARCH INTERESTS Interrogations & Confessions: the study of social and cognitive psychological factors that may
lead to a confession, including the diagnostic value of various interrogation methods,
the decision-making processes associated with a suspect’s decision to confess, and the
role of investigative biases in the use of coercive interrogation tactics.
Detection of Deception: the study of human lie detection, including factors that influence its
reliability and validity in the context of police investigations, the presence of truth
or lie biases that certain individuals may display in their detection performance, and
the efficacy of training programs leading to changes in discrimination accuracy and
response bias.
Memory for Faces & Eyewitness Identification: the study of social and cognitive psychological
factors that influence memory for human faces, including phenomena such as the
cross-race effect, verbal overshadowing, misinformation, perceptual distinctiveness,
lineup identification procedures, and the assessment of lineup fairness.
