Blog 19: Independent Component 2

Literal:

a) I, Nathan Guevara, affirm that I completed my independent component which represents 30 hours of work.
b) Bennett, Mark W. "Unraveling the Gordian Knot of Implicit Bias in Jury Selection: The Problem of Judge-Dominated Voir Dire, the Failed Promise of Batson, and Proposed Solutions." (n.d.): 1-24. SSRN. Web. 16 Apr. 2015
c) Check the senior project hours link on the side.
d) I created a little experiment trying to determine if emotions really make a large affect on the verdict while trial. I waited in front of stores and separate occasions trying to get all together 50 different responses. I told each person a selected scenario to see if the emotion that is represented in the scenario changes their judgements thereby warping the verdict that is to come out. After gathering all the data I then made graphs representing the punishments that followed and a review on the experiment to explain and go over what I did and the outcome that followed.

Interpretive:
The this definitely demonstrates thirty hours of work by the amount of work put into my review as well as the amount of time put into waiting and trying to gather all of those responses. I will have a link at the end of this paragraph that will send you to the review I wrote as well as pictures of the scenarios and their votes on notebook paper that I used to gather their responses. I was not able to get any picture of my participants they all asked that I won't put any of their pictures on the internet.

Applied:

How did this help my EQ? Well one of my answers involved an emotional appeal towards the jury so by taking all of these regular people and implicitly pushing certain emotions I found that I can easily get a majority rule and if I can get a majority rule it won't be long after until it becomes unanimous. The emotion of boredom seemed to work the best because boredom makes people want to do anything  other than what they are doing right now so they will do anything to get out of it. That was what I found the only scenario with a unanimous decision simply because they asked to opt out so they picked the punishment that I provided for them. This could not have been a better help to answer my EQ than any other book or article.
