There has been an increasing interest in children’s abilities to report memories of, and resist misleading suggestions to, a potentially stressful event. Individual differences among children and their parents may provide important insights into principles that govern children’s eyewitness memory and suggestibility for such experiences. Using a potentially stressful event outside of a laboratory environment, the effects of certain individual difference factors (including stress level, effortful control, and parental attachment style) on memory accuracy for a potentially stressful event were analyzed. A total of 120 children between the ages of 4 and 12 years were interviewed regarding a minor dental procedure that they had experienced. Results indicated that children with an insecure parental attachment and low effortful control were more likely to produce inaccurate free-recall details and more false alarms compared to children with a secure parental attachment and high effortful control. Thus, parental attachment style and a child’s effortful control are likely significant predictors of a child’s memory ability. Theoretical implications concerning the effects of stress and individual differences on eyewitness memory and suggestibility are discussed. Furthermore, the importance of being aware of individual differences and the likely outcome of interviewers’ subsequent actions during investigative interviews is also discussed.
