Forensic Psychology on Psychological Stress - Dictionary of Arguments
Slater I 108 Stress/suggestibility/forensic psychology: It turns out that individual differences in children’s and parents’ reactions to stressful events may hold one key to unraveling the inconsistent findings on distress and suggestibility, as reviewed by Ceci and Bruck (1993)(1). >Suggestibility. Fortunately, since the time of their Psychological Bulletin paper, there have been several research compilations specifically focused on the individual difference factors associated with children’s suggestibility, including about stressful events. See Bruck and Melnyk (2004)(2). From this work, only a few variables emerged as reliable predictors – one of these concerns parental attachment. The association of parental attachment and children’s memory error and suggestibility for stressful information has been one of the most robust findings in the literature (Alexander et al., 2002a(3); Alexander et al., 2002b(4); Goodman, Quas, Batterman-Faunce, Riddlesberger, & Kuhn, 1997(5)). Stress/attachment theory: to avoid processing emotional stimuli, more avoidant individuals try to mollify discomfort: their strategy for regulating negative emotions is to avoid stimuli that may be a source of agitation and neediness. This results in a potential deficit in encoding and/or rehearsal of stressful information through a process Bowlby termed “defensive exclusion.” (Bowlby 1980)(6). Intergenerational transmission: Dykas et al. (2011)(7) have posited an intergenerational transmission of avoidance of stress-inducing information. In this way, caregivers’ behavior before, during, and after a stressful event may be associated with the information remembered by children. (Goodman et al. 1997)(5). 1. Ceci, S. J., & Bruck, M.
