The aim of the present study is to further elaborate on and replicate the findings of the PICI measurement instrument. We do so by investigating the internal consistency and the correlational validity of the PICI instrument. Guided by the aforementioned study of De Fruyt et al (2006) the current study first extended the initial used competences item list to include nine new competence items, which were not previously identified. Second, whereas the previous sample consisted of 230 experienced police interviewers, the present Keywords: Investigative interviewing, personality, PICI, external and internal |
