本研究调查了陪审团的审议过程。代表性陪审员受试者观看了由三项罪行组成的真实录像审判，六人一组进行审议，并对每项指控做出裁决，并完成了一份审议后调查问卷，以评估个人认知。审议过程被录像并进行内容分析。结果表明，初始投票分布可以很好地预测最终判决；多数人往往占上风。审议内容主要集中在两个方面：(a) 案件事实；(b) 有罪或无罪判决的倾向陈述。路径分析表明，对第一项指控的决定共同基于审议内容和群体投票分布，而对后续指控的决定主要基于规范压力。陪审员在审议后对审判的印象受到他们在审议期间是否改变投票的影响。
The present research investigated the jury deliberation process. Representative juror subjects viewed a realistic videotaped trial consisting of three offenses, deliberated in groups of six and reached verdicts on each charge, and completed a post-deliberation questionnaire that assessed individual cognitions. Deliberations were videotaped and content-analyzed. The results indicated that the initial vote distribution was a good predictor of the final verdict; majorities tended to prevail. Deliberation content was concentrated primarily in two areas: (a) the facts of the case and (b) statements of preference for guilty or not guilty verdicts. Path analyses suggested that decisions on the first charge were based jointly on the content of deliberations and on the group vote distribution, whereas decisions on later charges were based largely on normative pressures. Jurors' post-deliberation impressions of the trial were affected by whether or not they had changed votes during deliberations.
