Abstract
Aim. Analysis of the diagnostic picture of handwriting when the performer is exposed to a «confusing» factor – physical fatigue.
Methodology. The experimental material was collected, the basis for which was handwriting samples of 56 people who made an experimental text containing all the letters of the Russian alphabet, as well as a large number of the most common letter combinations in their normal state and when in the state of fatigue. The research of diagnostic features of handwriting was carried out according to the traditional method of forensic handwriting examination of handwriting and signatures.
Results. A complex of traits most susceptible to changes has been identified; besides, the most pronounced effect on highly developed handwritings is noted.
Research implications. The established set of features can contribute to the development of forensic tactics in terms of handwriting sampling, as well as further research on the studied «confusing» factor in the framework of diagnostic handwriting.
