Jury decision making: 45 years of empirical research on deliberating

groups. Psychology, Public Policy, and Law, 7(3), 622–727.

Studies involving deliberating juries (actual or mock) were located and grouped into 4
categories on the basis of their focal variables: (a) procedural characteristics, (b) participant
characteristics, (c) case characteristics, and (d) deliberation characteristics. Numerous
factors were found to have consistent effects on jury decisions: definitions of key legal
terms, verdict/sentence options, trial structure, jury-defendant demographic similarity, jury
personality composition related to authoritarianism/dogmatism, jury attitude composition,
defendant criminal history, evidence strength, pretrial publicity, inadmissible evidence, case
type, and the initial distribution of juror verdict preferences during deliberation.
