- catalog abstract "The present study examined the roles of general intelligence and a more specific type of intelligence, social reasoning ability, in predicting (a) the level of success with which jurors reason through trial information, (b) the tendency to adhere to one's original verdict choice in the face of deliberations and (c) persuasiveness in deliberations. The study also explored whether the predeliberation configuration of individual juror verdict preferences predicted the ultimate jury verdict. One hundred eighty individuals presenting for jury duty in Brooklyn state court were used as subjects in this mock jury study. Subjects listened to audiotaped reenactments of two fictional criminal trials, completed a standard interview for each trial, deliberated in groups of two or six on one trial, and responded again to the interview on the deliberated trial. The Picture Arrangement subtest of the WAIS-R and the Quick Test, a brief reliable measure of general intelligence, were administered. The hypotheses regarding social reasoning ability, general intelligence and juror reasoning skill were confirmed. General intelligence and social reasoning ability significantly predicted an individual's success in a juror reasoning task. However, social problem-solving offered predictability above and beyond that provided by general intelligence, suggesting that juror decision-making is more a function of social problem-solving than of general intelligence level. Since social reasoning is a skill associated with the ability to organize interpersonal information into a sensible sequence, these findings are consistent with the Story Model of juror decision-making, which holds that the central cognitive process employed by jurors is the organization of trial information into a story format. The hypotheses regarding the relationships between social reasoning, verdict-retention and persuasiveness, and between general intelligence, verdict-retention and persuasiveness were not confirmed. Descriptive analyses conducted on a small sample confirmed the exploratory hypotheses that predeliberation majority predicted ultimate jury verdict when both were evaluated on a dichotomous (guilty versus not guilty) level, but not when lesser charges were considered. Limitations of the present study, implications for the legal and psychological communities and suggestions for future research are addressed.".
