Students from 2 psychology classes were randomly given either a CI or SI- the psych students then found Ps to interview who were then instructed to sit in the center of the room in silence while watching the same crime take place.

The scores were then tallied onto a chart. Watched vid once

91
Q

Evaluation of FLD

A

Reductionist as it doesn’t take into acc environmental
Phone as Gage-supporting evidence
Opposing- (raine) psychopaths and social learning with Bandura
Links to amygdala-reductionist as cant regulate emotions like impulsivity soleads to impulsive actions

92
Q

Evaluation of amygdala impairment

A

Opposing- eysencks personality theory and other biological explanations, banduras social influence eg nurture
Pardini- reduced volume ppts more likely to be agg
Yang- aimed to detect abnormalities and showed results of volume reduction in psycophats- androcentric as only males
SM Feinstein- lack of fight or flight so more likely to take risks however amygdala is never the whole story
Application- useful for fear therapy, Charles Whitman and John Massey

93
Q

Evaluation of personality theory

A

Eysenck- support that the role of personality can play a role in your emotions and psychopathy howver is reductionist as categories are linear and your personality type can change Ailey and be influenced- doesn’t account for personality disorders
Boduszek- support as assessed recidivism an found personality played a large role with high levels of psychoticism and extroversion

27 psycchopathic and 32 matched control who were examined through amygdala volumes

97
Q

Yang results

A

Psychopathy showed significant volume reductions in comparison to controls (left 17.1% and right was 18.9%)

98
Q

Yang evaluation

A

Many are born with psychopathy and not all brain damage has this effect- environment an genes an play a role

99
Q

SM case

A

SM was unable to show fear responses to a series of spiders, haunted house and scary films due to amygdala lesions howver is still able to experience other emotions- this shows how important the amygdala is in the role of fear

100
Q

Evaluation of SM case

A

Useful for fear therapy and understanding the amygdala
Is this always the case as sometimes it increases fear levels rather than reduces so reductionist an questionable

When women typically give attractive individuals Essex sentencing due to positive expectations

104
Q

Abwender and hough aim

105
Q

AnH procedure

A

207 ps where 129 were women and 78 men who were shown a case f a 25 year old woman who was pulled over by the police for wreckless driving while under influence of alcohol. Two versions of the story were provided and both involved a dad pedestrian however, one had a defendant described as attractive and the other was unattractive, Ps had to rate the defendant on a likely type scale including their level of responsibility, consumption and attractiveness

106
Q

A

Mock trial-lab experiment so their decisions have no consequences howver it is illegal to sit in on a trial

107
Q

- thickly implications as information can be explained and manipulated
Application- caseof OJ Simpson where 8/12 jurors were black and was found not guilty despite he was
Only from 4 diff states and only black defenders used so not generalizable

111
Q

Procedure of BnW

A

Secondary data from four different US states, nlytrials with black defendants were used as these were 60% of the cases, there were 7 controls in place such as quality of evidence, trial length, case type and lawyer type

Jury’s with a gig percentage of black jurors were less likely and black defendants were more likely to e convicted with a drug crime rather than violent

115
Q

Conclusion of BnW

A

The racial composition of the jury has a significant effect on the likelihood of conviction and outgroup bias may come into play as black defendants with a majority black jury are less likely

XYY males had higher levels of aggression and lower intelligence levels

123
Q

Evaluation of theilgaard

Nature - only explores genes and a reason for criminal behavior
Androcentric and only one age
This is only one reason
Stockhlom studied men from 15-70 years old and found there were more convictions of those with xxy
