A simulated civil case was performed using college students (N = 324) as mock jurors. The case involved a plaintiff accusing a defendant of workplace sexual harassment. The physical attractiveness of the litigants was manipulated, and mock jurors were asked to decide whether the defendant was guilty. | |||
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15074507 | They found that both the attractiveness of the plaintiff and defendant significantly affected outcomes of guilt or innocence. In particular: | ||
* When the plaintiff was attractive, jurors were nearly twice as likely find in favor of the plaintiff, and they were more certain of the guilt of the defendant. | |||
* When the defendant was unattractive, female jurors were up to four times more likely to render a guilty verdict. | |||
