| Suggestibility: Suggestibility in psychology refers to the degree to which individuals accept and internalize ideas or information suggested by others. It involves the tendency to conform to others' opinions or incorporate misleading information into one's memory and beliefs. Suggestibility varies among individuals and can be influenced by factors like authority, persuasion techniques, and the individual's mental state or susceptibility.

Social Psychology on Suggestibility - Dictionary of Arguments
Slater I 104 Suggestibility/social psychology/Ceci/Bruck: Ceci & Bruck’s 1993(1) review provides important insights on the interplay of cognitive and social factors as influences on children’s suggestibility. For example, Ceci and Bruck articulate the possibility that a child’s false report might at first be the result of social factors (e.g., the child makes a knowingly false statement to please the interviewer). >S.J. Ceci, >M. Bruck. However, over time, the false statement might then become part of the child’s autobiographical memory. Moreover, the idea that the interplay of such social and cognitive factors may change developmentally is important and still worthy of further study today. 1. Ceci, S. J., & Bruck, M. (1993).
