A good interviewer uses interview methodologies and techniques that not only help him or her build rapport with the interviewee but also drive the interview in a favorable direction. This assignment tests your understanding of various interview methodologies. It also focuses on the components of statement analysis-an important skill that helps detect deceit in an interviewee's statements.
Tasks:
Using the Argosy University online library resources, prepare a 4- to 5-slide, APA-formatted Microsoft PowerPoint presentation that includes responses to Part 1 and Part 2.
Part 1: Use scholarly sources to compare any two of the following interviewing methodologies:
Structural interviews
Inferential interviews
Behavioral interviews
Cognitive interviews
Clearly define each methodology chosen and examine in what situations it may be appropriate.
Part 2: Explore the components of statement analysis-a complex skill that can help you determine the level of deception in a witness's or a suspect's statement. Identifying deception leads one to dig deeper, investigate further, and ask more, often difficult, direct questions.
