Ep. 197 - The Doctor Is In Series - Information Elicitation
The Social-Engineer Podcast
The Importance of Social Connection and Creating a Safe Environment for Information Elicitation
This chapter explores the innate human need for social connections and discusses the differences between psychopaths and average individuals in terms of their wired need for social connection. It emphasizes the importance of creating a safe and comfortable environment and contrasts the misconceptions perpetuated by media regarding the interrogation process with successful real-life techniques.
Welcome to the Social-Engineer Podcast: The Doctor Is In Series – where we will discuss understandings and developments in the field of psychology.
In today’s episode, Chris and Abbie are discussing: Information Elicitation. We will discuss what it is, why it’s so important to use ‘science-based interviewing’, and why approaches that encourage cooperation are better than manipulation of information retrieval. [Feb 6, 2023]
