This study was designed to assess the influence of self-efficacy (Bandura, 1977) and locus of control (Rotter, 1966) expectancies as they relate to decision making in mock juries. No evidence was found to suggest a relationship among these variables as assessed with a questionnaire format. These findings were discussed in light of previous findings (Phares & Wilson, 1972; Sosis, 1974). However, subjects verdicts, attributions of responsibility, sentencing of the defendant, and their verbal statements during deliberations were quite internally consistent in the mock jury situation. / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 42-06, Section: B, page: 2540. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--The Florida State University, 1981.
