v.1. Thesis - Individual factors associated with investigative interviewers' use of non-leading open-ended questions -- v.2. Professional portfolio - Client responsivity and the role of Yalom's theoretical factors within an Australian Adolescent Day Program
Summary
This thesis represents one of the first research papers to examine individual factors and their association with best-practice investigative interviewing. Findings indicate that adherence to open-ended questioning (arguably one of the most important skills in child abuse interviewing) is largely the by-product of good training rather than personal attributes or job experience per se. maximising interviewer performance is crucial if the quality of evidence obtained from child witnesses is to improve on a global level
