The Effect of Presentation Style and Sex of Lawyer on Jury Decision-Making Behavior.
Sigal, Janet; And Others
Psychology: A Quarterly Journal of Human Behavior, v22 n3-4 p13-19 1985
Ninety undergraduate students, acting as jurors, viewed a videotape of a male or female aggressive, assertive, or passive defense attorney and a male prosecuting attorney in a simulated courtroom trial. The aggressive and assertive presentation styles resulted in significantly more "not guilty" verdicts than the passive style, for both the male and female defense attorneys. (Author/BL)
