Little is known about the potential for tattoos to bias how defendants are perceived. In Study 1, the participants ( = 30) viewed photographs of five men with a tattoo (prison or modern style) on the face and neck or arm. Individuals with prison-style tattoos were perceived more negatively, especially when the tattoos were located on the face and neck compared to the arm. In Study 2, participants ( = 120) were shown a photograph of a defendant who either had a prison-style tattoo or no tattoo, and read a scenario describing a physical assault (with either strong or weak evidence). Perceptions of defendant dangerousness mediated the relationship between the presence of a tattoo and mock jurors' perceptions of guilt.
关于纹身对人们如何看待被告的潜在影响，我们知之甚少。在研究1中，30名参与者观看了五名男子的照片，这些男子的面部、颈部或手臂上有纹身（监狱风格或现代风格）。有监狱风格纹身的人被负面看待的程度更高，尤其是当纹身位于面部和颈部而非手臂时。在研究2中，向120名参与者展示了一名被告的照片，该被告要么有监狱风格的纹身，要么没有纹身，并让他们阅读一段描述人身攻击的情景（证据充分或不足）。对被告危险性的认知在纹身的存在与模拟陪审员对有罪的认知之间起到了中介作用。
