“…In addition, other jurisdictions have different legal proceedings. In Spain, for example, the judge presents a series of propositions, and the jury declares each of the said propositions proven or not proven (Thaman, 1999 ). A final avenue for future research might be to add a condition to the factor of verdict system, in which participants could give a proven and/or not proven verdict.…”

The Scottish verdict of not proven represents a second acquittal verdict which is not legally defined. Existing research into the influence of the not proven verdict on jury decision making is modest. The main aim of the current study was therefore to investigate the influence of verdict systems (two vs three) on juror decision making. The effect of pre-trial bias and evidence anchors on juror judgements were also examined. One-hundred and twenty-eight mock jurors listened to two homicide vignettes and were asked to rate their belief of guilt of the accused and to give a verdict in both trials. The results suggest that pre-trial bias was a significant predictor of both verdict choice and belief of guilt, whereas evidence anchors were not a significant predictor of either. Finally, both guilty and not guilty verdicts were given with increased frequency in the two-verdict system when compared to the three-verdict system.

“…In recent years, along with the heightened public scrutiny of other previously trusted institutions (such as the Catholic Church), the universities came under fire following cases of mobbing and harassment. Thus, at the time this paper was written, teacher-student relations at the university were a hotly debated issue in Poland (Story, 2021 ). At the same time, our focus on Poland, a country where higher education is free and widely available, clearly limits the relevance of our findings for those many settings, where obtaining a university degree is costly and difficult.…”

(In)justice in academia: procedural fairness, students’ academic identification, and perceived legitimacy of university authorities

A considerable body of literature has documented the significance of fair treatment in terms of generating trust towards decision-makers across different institutional contexts. It has also been demonstrated that even young children are sensitive to procedural justice, and that experiences of both fairness and unfairness help shape young people’s wider attitudes towards authority. In this paper, we seek to extend these findings into the academic context. We use data from two separate studies of university students in Poland. In study 1 (N = 315), using a survey to capture students’ actual experiences, we find that fair treatment was a stronger predictor of perceived legitimacy of university authorities than were fair outcomes. In study 2 (N = 751), also using a survey of a nationally representative sample of university students, we demonstrate that this procedural effect is mediated by students’ identification with their university, and that trust in academic authorities translates into higher levels of engagement and lower levels of burnout. Academic identification fully mediated the relationship between both procedural and distributive fairness and engagement and partly mediated the relationship between the two dimensions of fairness and burnout. We conclude that the experience of procedural fairness leads students to more strongly identify with their university and thereby enhances their trust in university authorities.
