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 the 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 wi!I continue unti!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 per cent of the young adults in the experiment immediately confessed._________(3)of
the 15-to-i 6-year-olds,72 per cent signed confessions,as did 78 per cent of the 12-to-13-
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 _________（5）
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B
解析
