Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine the ways in which mock jurors justified their verdict decisions using moral foundations language. Participants read a trial transcript describing a second-degree murder charge featuring an automatism plea (which negates the physical volition of a crime). They then provided a two-to-three sentence rationale for their verdict choice, which we coded for the contextually-valid presence of words from the Moral Foundations (MF) Dictionary. Mock jurors were most likely to use harm-related language in justifying murder votes. A qualitative description also revealed differences in the content of the justifications.

道德基础与陪审员的判决理由。

本研究的目的是考察模拟陪审员如何使用道德基础语言来证明其判决决定的合理性。参与者阅读了一份审判记录，该记录描述了一项二级谋杀指控，其中有一项自动症抗辩（否定了犯罪的生理意志）。然后，他们为自己的判决选择提供了两到三句话的理由，我们对这些理由进行了编码，以确定是否出现了《道德基础（MF）词典》中符合上下文的词语。模拟陪审员在为谋杀投票辩护时最有可能使用与伤害相关的语言。定性描述还显示了理由内容的差异。
