| Suggestibility: Suggestibility in psychology refers to the degree to which individuals accept and internalize ideas or information suggested by others. It involves the tendency to conform to others' opinions or incorporate misleading information into one's memory and beliefs. Suggestibility varies among individuals and can be influenced by factors like authority, persuasion techniques, and the individual's mental state or susceptibility.

John E. B. Myers on Suggestibility - Dictionary of Arguments
Slater I 105 Suggestibility/Myers: MyersVsBruck, MyersVsCeci: 1) there is a „spin“ in Ceci & Bruck’s (1993)(1) review that has a potential to damage legitimate efforts to protect children. Their examples are not numerous enough. Ceci and Bruck’s articles convey an unnecessarily pessimistic picture of the child protection system and children’s credibility. (Myers 1995)(2) >S.J. Ceci, >M. Bruck. 2) Ceci and Bruck (1993)(1) seem to go out of their way to devalue any research that emphasizes children’s strengths. 3) Ceci and Bruck (1993)(1) and the Ceci and Bruck Social Policy Report articles are not impartial reviews of the literature. VsMyers/CeciVsVs/BruckVsVs: see Ceci, Bruck, & Rosenthal, 1995(3), for a response to Myer’s critique. >Suggestibility/psychological theories, >Suggestibility/social psychology, >Suggestibility/Ceci/Bruck. 1.
