The last question needs to be resolved. If the deliberations of the twelve angry men are so flawed that the jury is so dysfunction, why is the image of the film jury resonating with the public for years? (1) I do not know anything about the jury, (2) I think that the jury is an independent decision maker, (3) Our idea This system allows the jury to find the fact best, They will nurture the belief that their judgment is usually reliable unconditionally. Let's solve each problem in turn

Despite many psychological studies on the jury's decision-making it is surprising that little is known about the review process that led to the verdict of the jury. We reviewed the importance of the deliberations and the recent research, survey and judgment of the typical jury decision-making research of the jury, but questioned the view that the review had no significant impact on the judgment. We insist that we pay more attention to the potential cognitive processes under review. It may explain the transition between interpreted preferences and the final judgment of the jury. Then, we usually look at the cognitive work in the context of the group and the concrete career of the jury and explain the commitment of the cognition aspect to the review of the jury. Finally, we identified cognitive phenomena that may be of particular value to clarify intentional behavior.

The strongest evidence suggests that the initial distribution of the opinion of the jury outweigh the impact of reviews from a series of simulation studies. For example, Davis, Kerr, Atkin, Holt, and Mick (1975) compared prejudice judgment preferences with jury verdicts reached after deliberation. They predict that interpreted preferences will be converted to the final judgment in the optimal model, the jury will use the judgment if the initial preference is two thirds of the preference judgment, otherwise the judgment will be It is completed by the jury jury. However, in a recent jury trial review, 31% finished with a jury jury if the jury's initial preference was less than three quarters of the verdict (Devine, Clayton, Dunford, Seying, & Pryce, 2001). Devine et al. The jury rate in all studies reviewed by. (2001) is 21%, outside the laboratory the jury's jury rate is usually less than 10%.
