> Title:

> Abstract:
> We examined the roles of legal standards, perspective taking, and gender
> on sexual harassment judgments. Two-hundred and seventy-three
> undergraduates were randomly assigned to instruction and timing
> conditions in a 2 (participant sex)x4 (legal standard/perspective-taking
> instruction)x2 (timing of instructions) between-subjects factorial
> design. Perspective taking predicted verdicts and harassment ratings.
> Women more frequently found in favor of the female plaintiff than men,
> and these sex differences were mediated by perspective taking.
> Participants given instructions on reasonableness were less likely to
> find in favor of the plaintiff than those given no instructions on
> reasonableness, and timing of instructions impacted verdicts.

> Abstract:
> This study examined the ability of the Personality Assessment Inventory
> scores to predict noncompliance and probation revocations among a sample
> of sex offenders mandated to participate in community-based treatment.
> Scores on the Borderline Features (BOR) scale and subscales were the
> strongest predictors of noncompliance, with effect sizes as large as d =
> 1.50, outperforming scores on scales designed to predict treatment
> rejection and antisocial traits. Relatively low BOR cut scores (e.g.,
> 50T, 55T) appeared to be most useful for identifying those at risk for
> noncompliance, suggesting that those with even moderate levels of
> borderline or personality disorder traits may be at risk for
> noncompliance.

> Title:
> Death Penalty Decisions: Instruction Comprehension, Attitudes, and Decision Mediators

>
> Abstract:
> This research tested jury comprehension of death penalty instructions
> and the use of evidence in capital punishment decision making. Two
> studies are presented. The first study (N = 245 undergraduates) was
> based on paper-and-pencil methods, and the second study (N = 735
> jury-eligible participants) involved videotaped stimuli and deliberating
> mock jurors. Manipulations included instructions and several different
> variations in the evidence. Findings support previous research showing
> low comprehension of capital penalty instructions. Higher instruction
> comprehension was associated with higher likelihood of issuing life
> sentence decisions. The importance of instruction comprehension is
> emphasized in a social cognitive model of jury decision making at the
> sentencing phase of capital cases.

> Title:
> Detection of Cognitive Malingering or Suboptimal Effort in Defendants Undergoing Competency to Stand Trial Evaluations

>
> Abstract:
> The present study evaluated the usefulness of two popular tests of
> cognitive malingering in a real-life forensic setting. Only 25 of 166
> defendants referred for competency to stand trial evaluations claimed to
> have memory problems. Compared with the rest of the defendants, these
> individuals had a significantly higher incidence of affective disorders
> and lower incidence of psychotic disorders. Almost half failed both the
> Rey 15-Item Test (RFT) and the Test of Memory Malingering (TOMM), and
> 64% failed one or both. Seven of the eight suspected malingerers
> diagnosed with psychotic disorders failed both the RFT and TOMM. The
> incidence of psychotic disorders was significantly higher in those who
> failed the RFT than those who passed and somewhat higher in those who
> failed the TOMM than those who passed. The possibility that some
> defendants scored below the recommended cutoff scores because of
> intellectual limitations or concentration problems stemming from their
> psychotic illness is discussed.
