Sketchy memories: True and false accounts of insurance claims

The request to sketch and narrate has been shown to be an effective interview strategy for detecting deception in face-to-face interviews. The primary aim of the current study is to test whether the request to sketch and narrate in an interview is effective for detecting deception when interviewing remotely. The secondary aim of the study is to examine whether enabling the video function in the remote interview differs from disabling the video function (akin to a telephone interview). Participants will be asked to lie or tell the truth about a lost item in the past 24 months. They will either verbally report their claim (no sketch condition) or sketch and narrate their claim (sketch condition) while the video option is enable or disabled. We will examine total details and complications (details that make the event more complex than necessary).
