Jury Decision Making Research

This collection organizes the empirical and theoretical scholarship surrounding juries and how they operate. Resources here span the psychology of individual juror decision-making, group deliberation dynamics, institutional trust and civic participation, and contemporary challenges to jury competence, including generational differences in orientation toward jury service. Annotated sources are drawn from peer-reviewed journals, book chapters, and foundational texts in legal psychology, social psychology, and related disciplines. Together, they form the evidentiary basis for the manuscript The Psychology of Jury Decision Making: Theoretical Foundations, Empirical Evidence, and Contemporary Challenges.
