It explores three general ways that applied research programs can contribute both to testing and to refining communication theory: (1) by providing an opportunity to plan and to conduct theoretically‐oriented investigation which also addresses applied issues; (2) by providing the resources to permit conducting research in more realist…
Methodological issues in legal communication research
Drawing partially upon examples from a four‐year program of research dealing with the use of videotape in courtroom trials, this paper critically discusses three aspects of trial simulations used to study juror responses: (1) the individuals used as jurors, as well as their expectations concerning the juror task; (2) the amount of information provided for jurors, as well as the primary medium by which it is communicated; and (3) the presence or a…
