During voir dire, judges frequently attempt to "rehabilitate" venirepersons who express an inability to be impartial. Venirepersons who agree to ignore their biases and base their verdict on the evidence and the law are eligible for jury service. In Experiment 1, biased and unbiased mock jurors participated in either a standard or rehabilitative voir dire conducted by a judge and watched a trial video. Rehabilitation influenced insanity defense attitudes and perceptions of the defendant's mental state, and decreased scaled guilt judgments compared to standard questioning. Although rehabilitation is intended to correct for partiality among biased jurors, rehabilitation similarly influenced biased and unbiased jurors. Experiment 2 found that watching rehabilitation did not influence jurors' perceptions of the judge's personal beliefs about the case.
在审查陪审团时，法官经常试图“恢复”那些表示无法公正的陪审团成员的资格。那些同意忽略偏见并根据证据和法律做出裁决的陪审团成员有资格担任陪审团服务。在实验 1 中，有偏见和无偏见的模拟陪审员参加了由法官进行的标准或恢复性审查，并观看了审判录像。与标准提问相比，恢复性审查影响了精神错乱辩护态度和对被告精神状态的看法，并降低了规模上的有罪判断。尽管恢复性审查旨在纠正有偏见的陪审员的偏见，但它同样影响了有偏见和无偏见的陪审员。实验 2 发现，观看恢复性审查并没有影响陪审员对法官个人对案件看法的看法。
