Assignment #3 – APA Formatting Assignment (10 points) 

 

Instructions: Read the following paragraph. Questions 1-4 refer to this paragraph. 

 

Smith, Jones, & Terry 2008 investigated the effects of death-qualification on jurors’ confidence. 

A “death-qualified” juror is one who is willing to give the death penalty. 60 college students 

were randomly assigned to one of 2 different conditions. In both conditions, participants 

completed a short questionnaire that asked them whether they would or would not be willing to 

give the death penalty. In the first condition, participants reported aloud their response, and those 

participants who were not willing to give the death penalty were asked to leave the experiment. 

In the other condition, participants handed in their response on a written survey. Again, the 

researchers told participants who were not willing to give the death penalty to leave. After 

participants unwilling to give the death penalty left, the researchers told the remaining 45 “death qualified” participants to fill out surveys regarding how confident they felt in their original 

death-qualification answers. The researchers found that, “participants in the verbal response 

condition were more confident in their death qualification status than participants in the written

response condition”. The researchers concluded that making public commitments about death-qualification status makes participants more confident in their death-qualified status.
