TL;DR: This paper explored how these relationships might be mediated by considering several empirically supported and theory-based social psychological processes, such as selffulfilling prophecy, stigma consciousness, and stereotype threat.

TL;DR: It is suggested that innocent suspects underestimate the threat of interrogation and that resisting pressures to confess can diminish suspects' physiologic resources and lead to false confessions.

TL;DR: Findings suggest that conditions of the immediate interrogation situation may capitalize on an already-present vulnerability among suspects to make short-sighted confession decisions, thereby increasing the chances that even innocent suspects might confess.
