A Life, Not a Nameless Victim
The identifiable victim effect suggests that images of murder victims taken before their deaths can increase positive perceptions of those victims, potentially influencing jurors’ decision-making. We investigated whether viewing pre-mortem photographs of murder victims biased jurors’ perceptions of the victim, and consequently their judgments of the defendant. Across three between-subjects experimental studies (total Ns = 2,456), participants who…
White mock jurors' moral emotional responses to viewing female victim photographs depend on the victim's race
OBJECTIVE: Jurors often see both premortem photographs of female murder victims before death and postmortem photographs after death. Postmortem photographs are often probative but might prejudicially heighten jurors' other-condemning emotions, such as anger and disgust. Premortem photographs are often not probative and might prejudicially heighten jurors' other-suffering emotions, such as sympathy and empathy. We examined how victim race changes …

The Social Psychology of Property
Our social norms and moral values shape our beliefs about the propriety of different types of market exchanges. This review considers social and moral influences on beliefs about property and the consequences of these beliefs for the legal regulation of property. The focus is mainly on empirical evidence from social psychology, with additions from related areas like cognitive psychology, behavioral economics, and other social sciences. After brie…
Expressive Law, Social Norms, and Social Groups
To understand how law works outside of sanctions or direct coercion, we must first appreciate that law does not generally influence individual behavior in a vacuum, devoid of social context. Instead, the way in which people interact with law is usually mediated by group life. In contrast to the instrumental view that assumes law operates on autonomous individuals by providing a set of incentives, the social groups view holds that a person's attit…
Law, Moral Attitudes, and Behavioral Change
Classically, the ambition of legal regulation is to change behaviors. Legal regulation can accomplish its goals directly, through fear of sanctions or desire for rewards. But it can also do so indirectly—and often more cheaply and effectively—by changing attitudes about desired or undesired behaviors. Though moral attitude change is promising, it is also perilous. This chapter reviews the ways in which law aims to change moral attitudes. It also …
Public Opinion and Constitutional Controversy
Moral spillovers
Coordinating in the Shadow of the Law
In situations where people have an incentive to coordinate their behavior, law can provide a framework for understanding and predicting what others are likely to do. According to the focal point theory of legal compliance, the law's articulation of a behavior can sometimes create self-fulfilling expectations that it will occur. Existing theories of legal compliance emphasize the effect of sanctions or legitimacy; we argue that, in addition to san…
Negotiating via Information Technology
In this review article, we examine how people negotiate via e‐mail and in particular, how the process and outcomes of e‐negotiations differ from those of traditional face‐to‐face bargaining. We review the key tasks of negotiation and then undertake a review of the research literature that has examined e‐negotiations. We outline four theories of interaction that provide insights about social behavior in e‐media: rapport building, social contagion,…
Order Effects in Individual and Group Policy Allocations
Although citizen panels have become quite popular for policy making, there is very little research on how the procedures these groups employ to manage consensus affect their decision making. We measured the effect of a simple procedural mechanism, agenda order, on individual and group allocations for an HIV policy. Allocations made in a large-small (state-region-city) order were substantially smaller, overall, than were allocations made in small-…
