Abstract

A field study (N = 379) investigated the effects of clothing bias on show-up identifications using variations in type of clothing (distinct and common), the similarity of clothing between the event and the identification procedure, target-present and two target-absent show-ups (high similarity and low similarity innocent suspects), and time delay. Results showed a significant clothing bias by clothing type interaction on identification accuracy; however, no overall effects of delay or common clothing on identification accuracy were found. With distinct clothing, significant effects of clothing bias and suspect similarity emerged. Implications for police use of show-ups are discussed. Copyright © 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
