The effect of liability stipulation on damage awards in a personal injury case
Ethnicity and Court Processes: An Archival Review of Adjudicated Jury Trials
Many studies point to the influence of 1 variable as a potent factor that influences case outcomes: race/ethnicity. Much remains to be learned about how race/ethnicity affects court processes. To advance understanding of the impact of race/ethnicity on court processes, we collected archival data from sources such as police arrest reports, indictments, venire lists, and judicial instructions maintained in files from the district clerk's office. Th…
Alibi Generation: Data from U.S. Hispanics and U.S. Non-Hispanic Whites
Previous studies have shown that mock jurors are skeptical of alibi witnesses who are related to or even have a close social relationship with a defendant. The present project tested respondents' ability to recall their whereabouts for a particular date and time. It also provided the first descriptive data on a variety of alibi topics. The majority of individuals claimed to have an alibi witness for a given time and the majority of alibi witnesse…

On the "general acceptance" of eyewitness testimony research: A new survey of the experts
In light of recent advances, this study updated a prior survey of eyewitness experts (S. M. Kassin, P. C. Ellsworth, & V. L. Smith, 1989). Sixty-four psychologists were asked about their courtroom experiences and opinions on 30 eyewitness phenomena. By an agreement rate of at least 80%, there was a strong consensus that the following phenomena are sufficiently reliable to present in court: the wording of questions, lineup instructions, confidence…
Indicators of Successful Submissions to the Law and Social Science Program of the National Science Foundation
This article examines the overall success of 1,428 proposals submitted to the National Science Foundation's Law and Social Science Program between 1986 and 1997. On average, proposals were successful 30% of the time. The research examined a number of variables that might have influenced the success rate. The type of institution in which the Principal Investigator (PI) was employed and from which the proposal was submitted, the number of years sin…
Predicting Adherence to Medications by Hispanics with Schizophrenia
Casefile data of 100 male and 93female Hispanics with schizophrenia were analyzed to evaluate the impact on the patient's adherence to medication regimen of biodemographic, social support, and treatment variables, and whether the patient's therapist was also Hispanic and spoke Spanish. Results revealed that older and more motivated patients were more likely to adhere to theirmedication. As predicted, those who had greaterfamily support and who we…
Limits to the Use and Generalizability of the Views of Life Questionnaire
The factor structures of the Views of Life questionnaire for four data sets collected in northern Mexico were compared with the original structure reported by Diaz-Guerrero (1979). None of the factor structures for these data sets replicated the original. The subscale means and variances were also compared. While statistically significant differences in subscale scores were obtained, little variance was explained by these comparisons (w2 usually …
Job placement prospects and attitudes toward employment for undocumented Mexican Border‐Crossers in a U.S. Federal Correctional Institution
The influx of undocumented border-crossers from the Republic of Mexico into the United States has reached alarming proportions. The concern stems not only from their anticipated impact on job markets and social services utilization (Cooper 1985), but also from their growing impact on the U.S. Bureau of Prisons. Illegal immigration is a federal offense and punishable by imprisonment in federal facilities. In 1970, the total number of arrested ille…
The Self-Monitoring Scale: A Factorial Comparison among Mexicans, Mexican Americans and Anglo Americans
The purpose of this study was to determine the factorial structure of Snyder's (1974) Self-Monitoring Scale (SM) for Mexican, Mexican American, and Anglo American samples. The SM Scale was translated into Spanish and the adequacy of the translation determined. Responses to the SM Scale by 138 Mexican, 154 Mexican American, and 145 Anglo American undergraduates were factor analyzed separately and as a total sample. The data for the entire sample p…
