OBJECTIVE(S) We assessed the impact of body-worn cameras (BWCs) in two countries on perceptions of everyday encounters with police, independent of officer respectfulness and participants' preexisting trust in police. HYPOTHESES We expected BWC presence, officer respectfulness, and preexisting trust in police to all significantly improve individuals' perceptions of a police encounter. We also expected interactions indicating that BWC presence and preexisting trust in police reduce the effect of officer respectfulness on perceptions of the encounter. METHOD In each of three experimental studies, we measured participants' preexisting trust in police, and then presented participants with a vignette describing an encounter with a police officer in which officer respectfulness (respectful, disrespectful) and the presence/disclosure of a BWC (absent, present and disclosed by officer, present but undisclosed by officer) were independently manipulated. In Studies 1 (N = 422, Mage = 29 years, 73% women, 68% Australian) and 2 (N = 210, Mage = 19 years, 64% women, 59% Hispanic) in Australia and the United States, respectively, participants assumed the role of the driver in a traffic stop as they read the vignette. In study 3 (N = 504, Mage = 29 years, 72% women, 34% English), participants in Australia assumed the role of a citizen interacting with a police officer enforcing COVID-related restrictions. Participants then recorded their perceptions of procedural justice of and satisfaction with the encounter, legitimacy of the police, and willingness to co-operate with police. RESULTS Across three studies and two countries, we found no support for the notion that BWC presence influenced people's perceptions of police-citizen interactions independent of officer respectfulness and preexisting trust. CONCLUSION The effect of BWC presence, established in prior research, might operate via its effect on officer respectfulness. These findings underscore the importance of preexisting trust in police and respectful behavior by police officers, even in BWC-recorded encounters.

程序正义的国际观点：即使有随身携带的相机，也要信任和尊重问题。

目标(S) 我们评估了两个国家的随身摄像头 (BWC) 对与警察日常接触的看法的影响，独立于警察的尊重和参与者先前对警察的信任。假设 我们预计 BWC 的存在、警官的尊重和对警察的预先存在的信任都会显着改善个人对警察遭遇的看法。我们还预计相互作用表明 BWC 的存在和对警察的预先存在的信任会降低警官尊重对遭遇的看法的影响。方 不尊重）和 BWC 的存在/披露（缺席、在场并由官员披露，在场但由官员未披露）是独立操纵的。在澳大利亚和美国的研究 1（N = 422，Mage = 29 岁，73% 女性，68% 澳大利亚人）和 2（N = 210，Mage = 19 岁，64% 女性，59% 西班牙裔）中，参与者在阅读小插图时扮演司机在交通站的角色。在研究 3（N = 504，法师 = 29 岁，72% 女性，34% 英语）中，澳大利亚的参与者扮演了与执行 COVID 相关限制的警察互动的公民角色。然后，参与者记录了他们对遭遇的程序正义和满意度、警察的合法性以及与警察合作的意愿的看法。结果 在三个研究和两个国家中，我们发现没有证据支持这样一种观点，即《生物武器公约》的存在会影响人们对警察与公民互动的看法，而与警察的尊重和预先存在的信任无关。结论 在先前的研究中确定的 BWC 存在的影响可能通过其对军官尊重的影响来发挥作用。这些发现强调了对警察的信任和警察的尊重行为的重要性，即使在 BWC 记录的遭遇中也是如此。（PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2021 APA，保留所有权利）。这些发现强调了对警察的信任和警察的尊重行为的重要性，即使在 BWC 记录的遭遇中也是如此。（PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2021 APA，保留所有权利）。这些发现强调了对警察的信任和警察的尊重行为的重要性，即使在 BWC 记录的遭遇中也是如此。（PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2021 APA，保留所有权利）。
