Abstract
The necessary secrecy of jury deliberation has limited research on the deliberation process. Instead of dealing with interaction processes that occur as a group develops, jury research has tended to focus on jurors as atomized decision makers who happen to be placed in the same room to make their decisions. Much research which claims to focus on the jury as a group is in reality focusing on jurors as individuals, and on variables which affect these individuals. For example, Gerbasi, Zuckerman, and Reis (1977), in a section on the jury as a group, reviewed studies of the effects of characteristics of individual jurors, such as status, on dependent variables such as foreman selection or dominance of individual jurors. Certainly, Strodtbeck’s (1956) classical work is part of this tradition.
