This research examined whether an individual's endorsement of punishment goals moderates and mediates the effect of a clinical assessment of recidivism risk on the length of prison sentences. We measured participants' endorsement of punishment goals, both before they read a criminal case (i.e. a priori endorsement), and after they had read it (i.e. case-specific endorsement). As expected, the effect of the clinical report's conclusion on participants' sentencing decisions was moderated by a priori endorsement of incapacitation as a punishment goal. Participants who expressed strong (versus weak) a priori endorsement of this punishment goal were influenced by the report's conclusion on the risk of recidivism. In addition, when the clinical report concluded that the offender had a high risk of recidivating, participants expressed greater case-specific motivation to incapacitate him. Finally, the clinical report's conclusion had an indirect effect on the severity of the sentence through case-specific endorsement of the incapacitation punishment goal.
本研究考察了个体对惩罚目标的认同是否会调节和中介累犯风险临床评估对监禁刑期长短的影响。我们测量了参与者在阅读刑事案件之前（即先验认同）和阅读之后（即特定案件认同）对惩罚目标的认同情况。正如预期的那样，临床报告结论对参与者量刑决定的影响受到将 incapacitation 作为惩罚目标的先验认同的调节。对这一惩罚目标表达强烈（而非微弱）先验认同的参与者受到报告关于累犯风险结论的影响。此外，当临床报告得出罪犯有高累犯风险的结论时，参与者表现出更大的特定案件动机来 incapacitate 他。最后，临床报告的结论通过对 incapacitation 惩罚目标的特定案件认同对刑期的严厉程度产生间接影响。
