| Abstract: | Investigative interviews are of key importance when striving to resolve crimes, these rely on rapport in order to obtain the best interview outcomes. People with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) experience these interactions more intensely and cognitive demanding. Hence, this research aims to test whether giving procedural information before an interview to individuals with ASD, will increase the level of self-rated rapport during an investigative interview compared to not giving any prior information. This research consists of a 2 (information vs. no information) x 2 (autism vs neurotypicals) between-subject-design with a final sample of 43 participants. An ANOVA analysis was conducted to test the relationship between the groups, which showed a non-significant difference. Therefore, the results show that giving procedural information does not necessarily affect the level of self-rated rapport during an investigative interview for both the autistic and neurotypical groups. Although the results show a non-significance it is important to take into consideration the small sample of participants that was obtained, which mostly consisted of students at the University of Twente. Future research should involve a larger more diverse sample and tailored testing methods to validate and extend the current findings. |
