This study will ask participants to read a case summary as well as a description of expert testimony given in support of a defendant. Participants will be asked to provide their opinions in regards to the case. Participants will also take a short survey on their general thinking style. Questions will follow the presentation of the case summary and/or evidence. The purpose of this study is to look at how participants evaluate and interpret forensic evidence.
The very brief study looks at how people decide what job to take, and how they take into account aspects such as salary, co-worker characteristics, and so forth.
