Resumo
Contradictory findings have been reported concerning whether or not psychological variables can be responsible for bias in jury decisions, possibly because of differences among the studies in question as regards the type of legal case considered by the jury and the quantity of evidence supplied. When we submitted various filmed cases for the consideration of juries that were homogeneous with regard to psychosocial profiles identified in previous studies of the verdicts of individuals, bias was detected in some cases but not others, and where detected was apparently increased by deliberation.
