TABLE 1.

Participant responses to a range of questions sub-divided by their initial response to altering the witness’s accuracy.

Reduce No change Increase
Total N 28 (21.4%) 73 (55.7%) 30 (22.9%)
Cab/witness statistics provided
(Mean) Cab blue estimate 9.5% (0.3%) 16.8% (2.0%) 18.2% (3.6%)
(Mean) Witness accuracy estimate 76.0% (1.9%) 73.3% (2.1%) 71.6% (2.6%)
(Mean) Confidence 67.1% (2.9%) 68.8% (2.7%) 69.9% (3.3%)
Witness reports cab is blue
(Proportion) Increasing estimate cab blue 67.9% (9.0%) 56.2% (5.8%) 83.3% (6.9%)
(Proportion self-reported assuming):
Witness correct 25.0% (8.3%) 60.3% (5.8%) 80.0% (7.4%)
Cab green 46.4% (9.6%) 15.1% (4.2%) 3.3% (3.3%)
Neither/other 28.6% (8.7%) 24.7% (5.1%) 16.7% (6.9%)
Told cab actually green
(Proportion) Reducing witness accuracy 78.6% (7.9%) 52.1% (5.9%) 73.3% (8.2%)

In brackets on the left it is indicated whether the figure provides the mean response, or the proportion providing a particular response (in the case of non-continuous outcomes). Questions are in chronological order and the delivery of key pieces of information is indicated. Standard errors for estimates are included in brackets.
