Abstract Black Americans and Mexican Americans have faced continued cultural stereotypes, as well as more punitive outcomes, within the judicial system. Very little research has explored whether minority defendants with stereotypical accents face additional discrimination. The current study investigated the role of race and accent bias on juror decisions for Black, Mexican American, or White defendants in a negligence case. Results indicated that while Black and Mexican American defendants were found more negligent than White defendants, Black defendants were judged more negatively than White and Mexican American defendants, especially when the Black defendant had a stereotypical accent. The results offer important legal considerations that attorneys must make when deciding whether or not to recommend that the defendant testify.

听起来内gui:重音偏见如何影响陪审员对罪责的判断

摘要黑人和墨西哥裔美国人在司法系统中一直面临着持续的文化成见,以及更具惩罚性的结果。很少有研究探讨具有刻板印象的少数民族被告是否面临其他歧视。当前的研究调查了种族和重音偏见在过失案件中对黑人,墨西哥裔美国人或白人被告的陪审团决定中的作用。结果表明,虽然发现黑人和墨西哥裔美国人的被告比白人被告的疏忽大意,但对黑人被告的审判要比白人和墨西哥裔美国的被告更为消极,尤其是当黑人被告具有刻板印象的口音时。结果提供了律师在决定是否建议被告作证时必须考虑的重要法律考虑。
