We examine how the valence of suggested information and actor implicated as committing false acts affect children's suggestibility.

Children are less willing to assent to false suggested acts when they rather than someone else are implicated.

Especially notable changes in acquiescence to false suggestions occur in early primary school years.

Around age 7, children's resistance to false suggestions about negative acts increases.

Around age 8, children demonstrate resistance to both negative and positive suggested acts.
