Dimension Rating
Reliability High

Rationale

Dimension Rationale
Reliability Peer-reviewed publication in Psychiatry, Psychology and Law. Systematic methodology using detective perceptions. High reliability as academic research.
Relevance Medium — studies forensic/investigative interviews, not employment STAR interviews. The cognitive demands (sequential recall, temporal ordering) overlap substantially but the context differs.
Bias flags Measurement concern: relies on detective perceptions rather than direct measurement of interviewee performance. However, detectives are experienced observers of interview behavior.
