Aren't there any sources or references for this information?--Psients 00:20, 20 Aug 2004 (UTC)

"In the last years suggestibility has been studied in relation to the attendibility of child eyewitness report." This sentence sounds horribly confusing. What is meant by "attendibility"? --71.33.68.247 02:34, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)

There is lots of good scientific research on suggestion and suggestibility, much of it published in hypnosis journals such as the International Journal of Clinical and Experimental Hypnosis, but lots in more mainstream psychology journals too MWhalley

LOADS available in abstract-only form on Google scholar. All the big name journals plus some of the smaller more specialist ones.

This article has a huge biblio of references but only 3 footnotes to it. I just did an edit and am going to add some citations soon, as I found it very very biased. Why is this W chap important? He doesn't seem to know his subject matter very well.

Indeed, I don't know if it's just me, but it seems like most of the article was confusing and dealt only with (or mostly with) hypnosis, when in fact those other three definitions are equally important, I would think. I think subtopics like "Suggestibility in hypnosis," "Suggestibility in children," etc. are needed.209.244.30.221 (talk) 20:55, 22 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The Quote attributed to Aristotle, although all over the Web, is false. http://publicnoises.blogspot.com/2009/02/aristotle-and-accuracy.html --Graham Gibson-Smith (talk) 10:58, 15 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Peer Review

This article is a little confusing to me, given the fact that there are numerous statements that don’t have citations to go with them. The overall layout of the article is confusing as well. The lead section gives a definition, which I had to re-read so that I could understand it. The section that follows the lead is redundant because it gives the definition again. The author wrote different types of suggestibility, but in my opinion, they should be stated in the lead section. I have a suggestion for the author, and that is to change the layout so that the transitions to each section flow better. The most important thing that the author could do to improve this article is to add references to the statements that don’t currently have one. There are also a few statements that don’t feel neutral. A lot of the information in the article comes from one or two sources, so it isn’t from different points of view. Having the correct citations is important because students could be using this article as research for a project, and a lot of the information is inaccurate or misleading.

The article has a great start to it, there are just a few structural problems that need to be worked out. This concept was hard for me to wrap my head around. The ideas and wording were well-formed but lacked overall depth. I feel that the first section should have had more depth and description to them. I would have also worded the definition a little differently. It is a hard concept to grasp in this context. I did like all of the different subheadings and topics, they illustrated all of the different ways that suggestibility is applied. References are on the short end, could use more. - Jessica Cragun
