Eyewitness testimonies are considered to have
a very persuasive impact on judges and juries; it
has been shown to exert an important influence on jurors' evaluations of witnesses and judgments, with more confident witnesses generally regarded as being more believable (Brewer & Burke 2002). This study aimed to discover the possible effect on an eyewitness's confidence, accuracy, and the influence of co-witness's information in a lineup decision based on the sex and authority level of a co-witness.
