Children’s Bullying Experiences: Reporting True And False Stories
In this study, we are looking at children’s reports of a time they were bullied. Specifically, we are seeking to examine the different characteristics of children’s narrative reports of true (actual experiences) and made-up situations about being bullied. We will be examining how children respond to questions asked by an interviewer and if adults can determine which story is true and which is made-up. Children will also tell two stories about a sporting event to see if there is a difference in the way they report stressful and non-stressful stories.
Pinocchio’s Nose: Children’s Truth-telling |
|
In this research project, we are investigating children’s truth and lie-telling behaviour, and how to promote truth telling in young children. Specifically, we are examining the effects of different types of feedback on the overall frequency of truth telling or lying. These studies involve children playing games to examine their truth-telling behaviours and reading stories where children are asked to evaluate the character’s behaviours.
Little Liars: Children White Lie-Telling Behaviour
In this study, we will be investigating the development of social rules in children. More specifically, we will be examining behaviours such as being polite to protect the feelings of others, obeying instructions, keeping promises and telling the truth. Children will play computer games with the experimenter and also listen to different stories to examine their memory, planning, and rule-use.
You be the Detective!
Can you tell you is telling the truth and you is telling a fib? In this study we are looking at how both children and adults call tell the differences between children’s true and false statements. Participants include undergraduate students, teachers, parents, and children (ages 4-12). Participants are asked to view a series of taped interview sessions and state wether they believe children are telling the truth or lying about a particular act. This study helps us develop an understanding regarding how people identify deception.
