We are testing a new system for linking grants to scientists.
The funding information displayed below comes from the
NIH Research Portfolio Online Reporting Tools and the
NSF Award Database.
The grant data on this page is limited to grants awarded in the United States and is thus partial. It can nonetheless be used to understand how funding patterns influence mentorship networks and vice-versa, which has deep implications on how research is done.

Variations in Individual Juror Reasoning and Its Impact On Jury Decision Making
This research examines juror reasoning and jury decision-making via two experiments. Each of the studies undertaken here is designed to examine individuals' reasoning abilities and how those abilities affect group decision-making. The research builds on Kuhn's 1991 finding that there are two levels of general reasoning, one of which involves satisficing - finding a plausible story and sticking with it, despite non-conforming evidence. The other type of reasoning involves systematic evaluation of evidence for the extent to which it fits alternative stories, and selection of the one with the least discordant information. The experiments examine how jury composition (in terms of the distribution of reasoning levels and pre-deliberation verdict choices within the jury) affect the level of reasoning of the jury as a body. The results should lead to more sophisticated predictions of social decision-making that include measures of individual differences in reasoning.

Enhancing Juror and Jury Reasoning
As jury trials have become increasingly complex, state and federal court systems have begun to implement innovations to the trial procedure aimed at improving jurors' understanding of evidence. For example, several state courts are now experimenting with allowing jurors to take notes or expanding preliminary instructions. Most research looking at the effects of such changes in courtroom procedure have been done at the level of the individual juror. Although several field studies have begun to assess how these innovations may affect jury functioning, there has been virtually no group-level experimental research in this area. This project tests how jury innovations might affect the process and outcome of jury deliberations. Influential models of juror decision making tend to focus on individual- and not group-level processes. Even models of jury decision making ignore the group process and predict group decisions solely from pre-deliberation verdict preferences. Central to the research is a model of group-level reasoning and an in-depth analysis of group deliberations. Two goals of this study are to discover how changes in courtroom procedure may change the manner in which individual jurors process evidence and also how such changes affect how juries discuss the evidence. Results of this study, therefore, have implications for psychological theories of individual and group decision making, and should also prove valuable to federal and state court system policy makers as they consider implementing these changes.
