The data collected in the \r\n study address the following questions: (1) Does hypnosis or the \r\n cognitive interview mitigate recall deficits that result from \r\n emotionally upsetting events? (2) Does hypnosis or the cognitive \r\n interview improve recall when individuals recall events in narrative \r\n fashion? (3) Does hypnosis or the cognitive interview improve recall \r\n when individuals are required to respond to each item in a set of \r\n focused questions? (4) Does the cognitive interview improve recall \r\n better than motivated control recall procedures? For this two-stage \r\n study, subjects were randomly assigned to receive hypnosis, cognitive \r\n interview, or control treatment. Stage 1 involved completing unrelated \r\n questionnaires and viewing a short film containing an emotionally \r\n upsetting criminal event. Stage 2 was conducted 3 to 13 days later (the \r\n average was 6.5 days) and involved baseline information gathering about \r\n the events in the film, application of the assigned treatment, and \r\n post-treatment written recall of the events. Data were collected from \r\n the written narratives provided by subjects and from an oral forced \r\n recall of events in a post-experimental interview. Variables in File 1 \r\n include total information (correct, incorrect, confabulations, and \r\n attributions) as well as new information given in the post-treatment \r\n written narrative. The remaining variables in File 1 include score on \r\n Harvard Group Scale of Hypnotic Susceptibility, Form A (HGSHS:A), \r\n repressor status, and the number of days between viewing the film and \r\n completing the baseline and post-treatment interviews. Variables in \r\n File 2 were derived from the post-experimental oral forced recall \r\n interview and include total correct and incorrect responses and \r\n confidence ratings for correct and incorrect responses. The unit of \r\nobservation is the individual.", "distribution": [{"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "accessURL": "https://doi.org/10.3886/ICPSR09478.v1", "title": "Use and Effectiveness of Hypnosis and the Cognitive Interview for Enhancing Eyewitness Recall:  Philadelphia, 1988-1989"}], "identifier": "3599", "issued": "1991-03-05T00:00:00", "keyword": ["cognitive functioning", "cognitive processes", "crime", "eyewitness memory", "hypnosis", "police investigations"], "language": ["eng"], "license": "http://www.usa.gov/publicdomain/label/1.0/", "modified": "2006-03-30T00:00:00", "programCode": ["011:060"], "publisher": {"@type": "org:Organization", "name": "National Institute of Justice", "subOrganizationOf": {"acronym": "OJP", "id": 22, "name": "Office of Justice Programs", "parentOrganization": {"acronym": "DOJ", "id": 10, "name": "Department of Justice"}, "parentOrganizationID": 10}}, "title": "Use and Effectiveness of Hypnosis and the Cognitive Interview for Enhancing Eyewitness Recall:  Philadelphia, 1988-1989"}
