| Abstract: | Studied the influence of a clinical report and a statistical report used in expert testimony on the perception of potential jurors. 188 undergraduate students (aged 18–40 yrs) participated in a simulated trial. In addition to the usual information about the trial, Ss were exposed to an expert witness favoring a clinical report, an expert witness favoring a statistical report, or no expert witness. They then answered a series of questions concerning their perception of the trial, the expert, the report, and the verdict. Analyses of variance were performed.
