The perception of a sexual assault nurse examiner's (SANE) testimony in a criminal rape trial was investigated. Men and women undergraduates (N = 138) read a fictional criminal trial summary of a rape case in which medical testimony from a SANE or a registered nurse (RN) was presented, or no medical testimony was presented. Results indicated that mock jurors were more likely to render guilty verdicts when a SANE testified than when an RN testified, and this relationship was fully mediated by perceived credibility of the nurse as well as provictim perceptions. Results are discussed in terms of the impact of SANE involvement in legal proceedings.
对性侵犯护士检查员(SANE)在刑事强奸审判中的证词认知进行了调查。138名男女本科生阅读了一个虚构的强奸案刑事审判摘要,其中呈现了SANE或注册护士(RN)的医学证词,或者未呈现医学证词。结果表明,与RN作证相比,当SANE作证时,模拟陪审员更有可能做出有罪裁决,并且这种关系完全由对护士的可信度认知以及支持受害者的认知所介导。根据SANE参与法律程序的影响对结果进行了讨论。
