受试者分别扮演无罪或有罪的被告，根据三个信息来源决定是否接受辩诉交易。定罪的可能性、接受辩诉交易的量刑和拒绝辩诉交易的量刑在析因设计中被操纵。两个数据分析的结果（受试者接受的百分比和决策规模的连续坚定度）为优化决策策略的使用提供了支持。在百分比和量表数据中发现了每个自变量的主效应。此外，研究结果表明，如果条件合适，“无辜”的个人可能倾向于接受辩诉交易，以减少他们的损失。
Subjects playing the roles of either innocent or guilty defendants decided whether or not to accept a plea bargain based upon three sources of information. The likelihood of conviction, the sentence if a plea bargain were accepted, and the sentence if a plea bargain were rejected were manipulated in a factorial design. The results from two data analyses (percentage of subjects accepting and a continuous firmness of decision scale) lend support to the use of an optimizing decision strategy. A main effect of each independent variable was found for both the percentage and scale data. In addition, the results indicate that "innocent" individuals may be inclined to accept a plea bargain if the conditions are right in order to cut their losses.
