Abstract

Introduction. Given the main purpose of the investigator - the disclosure of the crime - the specific difficulties that the employee has to face are natural, because in almost all cases a person suspected of committing a crime tries to oppose the investigation, hide the facts, put forward false motives and sequence actions that often require the use of psychological influence.Purpose. The purpose of this article is to describe the mechanisms and patterns of psychological influence of investigators on suspects in the course of professional activityMethods. The main research methods were general psychodiagnostic methods (questionnaires, surveys, observations) and statistical methods (factor analysis).Originality. the essence of psychological influence in investigative actions is quite multifaceted and requires empirical comprehension, which was noted by the author earlier (Babenko OO [1]). Based on the generalization of the results of the theoretical analysis of this problem, a model of legitimate psychological influence in investigative actions has been developed. This model describes two aspects of this influence: the aspect of the subjective characteristics of the investigator and the situational and object aspects of the psychological influence in the investigation. In particular, this model defines consistently functioning levels of legal consciousness (Zemlyanskaya OV [2]), personal characteristics of the investigator, his behavioral characteristics, methods and types of influence, techniques of influence. Also, this model reflects the influence of situational characteristics on the process of influence and features of the object of influence.Conclusion. Effective psychological influence is achieved through the following mechanisms: manifestations of the strategy of dominance in the behavior of the investigator; manifestations of demonstrativeness of the investigator and persistence of the employee; manifestation of traits of balance and perseverance in professional activities and interaction with the suspect; carrying out professional activities on the basis of emotional balance and attention to detail, which makes it possible to find a favorable situation for the interaction with the suspect; the ability to implement one line of conduct without "compromising" with the suspect, avoiding open conflicts and realizing the influence in a hidden form for the suspect. Effective psychological influence in the investigative process is hindered by manifestations of emotionality, sensitivity, change of the investigator's behavior strategy, achievement of "compromises" with the suspect and adjustment to him in the process of investigative actions.
