interrogative suggestibility

the degree to which an individual is susceptible to suggestive questioning. The level of suggestibility may be assessed in two ways: (a) yield, or the degree to which an individual will respond affirmatively to leading questions, and (b) shift, or the tendency to alter previous responses when receiving negative feedback.
