Question
Harry Kalven and Hans Zeisel found that first ballots cast by members of these groups had a strong correlation with the final decision of these groups. For 10 points each:
[10e] Identify these groups, who may make decisions within verdict-based or evidence-based frameworks. In criminal cases, these groups must come to a unanimous decision.
ANSWER: juries [or jury; accept grand juries]
[10m] The first ballot-final decision correlation may reflect this bias, in which a person changes their behavior to fit in with others. In a Solomon Asch experiment, subjects incorrectly judged the length of a line due to this bias.
ANSWER: conformity bias [prompt on groupthink; prompt on peer pressure]
[10h] According to Serge Moscovici, conformity in small groups such as juries may increase as these rules are established. Talcott Parsons defined these rules as community-influenced criteria for individual choice.
ANSWER: social norms [accept mores or folkways; accept customs]
