Reflections on Law and human behavior (1996–2005)
changed from a small paper-and-pencil outlet to a large online operation with an ever-increasing number of submissions. This essay reflects on how that happened and the differences in process and outcome that resulted while I served as Editor-in-Chief of the American Psychology-Law Society's flagship journal. It includes a discussion of the goals that I had for the journal and some thoughts about its future. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2026 APA…
He's to blame, she is lying
US Federal legislation mandates the treatment of underaged youth induced to sell themselves for commercial sex as victims and not criminal offenders of prostitution laws. Nonetheless, state prosecutors often take action in juvenile court against these youth. This study explored the impact of negative moral emotions, victim blame, and victim believability on public judgments of child sex trafficking victims under varying case facts. We presented a…
Emotion regulation reduces victim blaming of vulnerable sex trafficking survivors
OBJECTIVE: This research applied emotion regulation to negative emotions felt toward a sex trafficking victim so that judgments were made to offer her services rather than to favor her arrest for prostitution. HYPOTHESES: We predicted that participants would favor police not arresting a trafficking survivor for prostitution when she was vulnerable (Hypothesis 1) or she showed no sex work history (Hypothesis 2). We predicted a moderated mediation …
Do they see what he experiences? Objectification and sexual harassment
Two studies tested the hypothesis that men who are sexually objectified during an interview will experience a negative emotion, rate the experience as harassing, and perform badly on tasks compared to un‐objectified controls. However, observers who watch videos of objectified experiencers and predictors who read about the interaction will demonstrate stronger effects, with women showing the strongest. In Study 1, 90 undergraduates (60 men) were i…

Custody Judgments, Ex‐offender Parents, and Best Interests of the Child
One collateral consequence of a criminal conviction for parents with young children is the loss of custody, which turns on the subjective “best interests of the child” standard. This research explored whether criminal conviction and substance abuse history influenced custody decisions. Experiment 1 presented community participants with a vignette describing a parent with combinations of manipulated stigmatized characteristics (i.e., gender, race,…
Criminal History, Sex, and Employment
Communities across the United States integrate thousands of men and women coming out of jail or prison each year and studies suggest that over 75% of this population will reoffend within a decade of release. According to research, positive employment outcomes are linked to preventing recidivism; however, employers routinely check or inquire about criminal histories and discriminate against ex‐offender applicants. The current research focused on e…
Exoffender housing stigma and discrimination
Abuse history and culpability judgments
Religion at work
Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits an employer from discriminating “against any individual with respect to his compensation, terms, conditions, or privileges of employment, because of such individual's race, color, religion, sex, or national origin.” Impressive bodies of research have investigated sexual harassment and gender discrimination in the workplace. Few studies address religious discrimination in the workplace, though cl…
How people evaluate others with social anxiety disorder
Despite the availability of effective interventions, most individuals with social anxiety disorder do not seek treatment. Given their fear of negative evaluation, socially anxious individuals might be especially susceptible to stigma concerns, a recognized barrier for mental health treatment. However, very little is known about the stigma specific to social anxiety disorder. In a design similar to Feldman and Crandall (2007), university undergrad…

Anticipated affect and sentencing decisions in capital murder
Dehumanization of older people
This research examined how people judge hostile work environments in which members of a work setting derogate other workers because they are older and presumed to be incompetent based on a psycholegal model incorporating negative affect and dehumanization (Wiener, Gervais, Brnjic, & Nuss, 2014). Specifically, we conducted a study in which a national sample of community participants read a scenario in which an interviewer did or did not derogate a…
The psychology of jury decision making in age discrimination claims
Eye of the beholder
Social Analytic Jurisprudence instructs researchers to study the reciprocal relations between law and peoples’ lives by developing empirical descriptions of legal assumptions about human behavior. The present work introduced a new experimental paradigm to test some of those assumptions by studying the impact of sexual objectification in a simulated job interview on performance, sexual harassment judgments, and emotions for women who experienced (…

Complainant behavioral tone, ambivalent sexism, and perceptions of sexual harassment
Previous research has examined the impact of the law on decisions made about social sexual interactions in the workplace in the context of a variety of individual difference variables including gender of the observer and sexist attitudes, as well as situational factors including legal standard and prior exposure to aggressive and submissive complainants. The current study continued this line of inquiry by testing whether hostile or benevolent sex…

Guided jury discretion in capital murder cases
Saint Louis UniversityThis article analyzes whether state-approved jury instructions adequately guide jurydiscretion in the penalty phase of first-degree murder trials. It examines EighthAmendment jurisprudence regarding guided jury discretion, emphasizing the use of“empirical factors” to examine the quality of state-approved instructions. Psycho-logical research and testimony on the topic of the comprehensibility of juryinstructions are reviewed…
Evaluation, Diagnosis, and Prediction in Parole Decision Making
Discretionary legal decisions have become a recent focus of theory development and policy-oriented applied research. We investigated parole release decision making in Pennsylvania from both orientations. Analyses of post-hearing questionnaires and case files from 1,035 actual parole decisions revealed that the Parole Board considers institutional behavior and predictions of future risk and rehabilitation in the decision to release on parole. Pred…

Relation of Depression to Specific Medical Complaints in Psychiatric Inpatients
Although there is strong evidence for the relationship between depressive symptoms and medical problems, few studies have directly examined the association between depression and specific medical complaints. The purpose of the current research was to investigate the relationship between depression and complaints in specific bodily systems in a sample of psychiatric inpatients. 55 patients, with a mean age of 40.72 yr. ( SD = 13.98), completed the…

Social Analytic Jurisprudence in Sexual Harassment Litigation
This article discusses an approach for resolving sexual‐harassment litigation that relies on valid social scientific findings. The approach applies social analytic jurisprudence, which utilizes social fact and social framework information to assist the courts in recognizing when social‐sexual misconduct rises to the level prohibited by Title VII law. The paper describes how social fact and social framework evidence can assist judges and juries in…
