Nonverbal Behavior
of the Interviewer/Interrogator*
Effective interview / interrogation
is an art. Successful interviewers know that we only remember 25% of what is said immediately after we hear it and so employ
a nonjudgmental mind set that enables effective recall. They utilize nonverbal behavior to reinforce their credibility and
send messages of empathy and rapport to "invite" confessions. They control the situation through subtle power behavior
and specialized listening techniques. Target: Interviewers who seek a higher level of effectiveness.
Faculty: Dr. "Mac" McKinnon, expert in nonverbal
deception and credibility and CEO of MACNLOW. Nonverbal Deception and this course have been taught at Quantico, RCMP College
(Ottawa), in China and in Abu Dhabi.
