Blind or Biased? Justitia's Susceptibility to Anchoring Effects in the Courtroom Based on Given Numerical Representations

Abstract: This article presents an integrative review of recent research on anchoring effects in the courtroom as one example for the strong impact of representation norms on sentencing decisions. Anchoring effects – the assimilation of numerical judgments to a given standard – have been demonstrated in many judgmental domains. Even sentencing decisions are subject to anchoring effects. In court proceedings this gives disproportionate weight to the prosecutor, whose sentencing demand serves as an anchor. The prosecution… Show more

“…For instance, when a cap placed on punitive damages is high, it can serve as an anchor such that the size of awarded punitive damages increases as well (Robbennolt and Studebaker 1999). Likewise, sentencing demands of prosecutors influence sentencing decisions (Englich 2006).…”

Šiuo atveju susikurtu inkaru pasinaudojama kaip pradiniu atskaitos tašku, nuo kurio atsispiriama galutiniam atsakymui -inkaras suprantamas kaip neteisingas, bet arti tiesos (Epley, Gilovich, 2005, 2006Tversky, 1974;Tversky, Kahneman, 1974). Galutinis atsakymas priderinamas prie savo inkaro todėl, kad vertindami skaičius žmonės turi nuolat ieškoti palyginimų ir argumentų, kodėl galutinis atsakymas yra būtent toks, o remiantis susigalvotu inkaru tai galima padaryti greičiau ir lengviau, nei ieškant atsakymo bibliotekose, paieškos sistemose ir pan.…”
