Abstract *

<p>This research explores how intelligence interviewees mentally identify the relevant information at their disposal, which they may or may not disclose. We theorize that interviewees mentally identify applicable information items by estimating the interviewer’s objectives based on how they frame any attempt to solicit information. Interviewees then mentally organize the information they possess into item designations that pragmatically correspond to the perceived interviewer-objective. The more an attempt specifies the interviewer’s objective, the more the interviewee will mentally designate information items that pragmatically correspond with the perceived objective. We propose two studies to examine the theory. The findings would optimize further theorizing about how pragmatic considerations influence intelligence interview dynamics to possibly affect several downstream effects.</p>
