Juror gender and influence in a domestic violence trial
In two online mock jury deliberation studies (N1 = 326, N2 = 531), I investigate how a juror's gender and emotion expression impacts how influential they are perceived to be and how much influence they actually have in deliberation. Participants perceived a female juror to be less influential t...

| description | In two online mock jury deliberation studies (N1 = 326, N2 = 531), I investigate how a juror's gender and emotion expression impacts how influential they are perceived to be and how much influence they actually have in deliberation. Participants perceived a female juror to be less influential than a male juror, but were actually influenced by this juror equally regardless of gender. Neither form of influence was affected by the juror's emotion expression. I argue that because the trial depicted domestic violence, which is culturally associated with female victims, women have more influence in this situation than they typically would. These findings suggest that even when women are influential in interaction, they may not be acknowledged as such. Further, they highlight the importance of task content both theoretically in studies of status and gender and practically in contexts such as jury selection, particularly when that content includes gender-based violence. |
