Description:

This study is about legal decision making. We would like to understand what factors influence people’s decision making in legal contexts. We will ask participants to read a legal case, and make evaluations and answer other questions about their assigned case. Participants must be over the age of 18, and able to effectively read and write in English. This study will have a total of 2 sessions, which will each take approximately 15 minutes to complete. Participants may experience mild emotional distress while reading the legal case. However, such discomfort is expected to quickly resolve after completing the survey. There are no benefits for participants in participating in this study. However, participants will be rewarded 1 REP point for their participation in each session.
