The accuracy-confidence correlation in eyewitness testimony: limits and extensions of the retrospective self-awareness effect.
This research extended Kassin's (1985) finding that retrospective self-awareness (RSA) increases the correlation between eyewitness accuracy and confidence. In Experiment 1, 91 mock witnesses saw a crime, answered questions, made an identification decision, and rated their confidence.
