Investigating pretrial publicity (PTP) effects in real trials using the internet offers high ecological validity without high costs. This method enhances external validity for PTP research, benefiting legal psychology.

Area of Science:

  • Psychology and Law
  • Social Psychology

Background:

  • Pretrial publicity (PTP) research often faces challenges with external validity.
  • Increasing ecological validity (verisimilitude) in PTP studies can be resource-intensive.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose and demonstrate the internet as a cost-effective method for conducting high-verisimilitude PTP research.
  • To examine PTP effects in an actual ongoing trial using online methods.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized the internet to conduct experimental research on PTP effects.
  • Examined PTP's impact during a live trial, increasing ecological validity.

Main Results:

  • The internet proved to be a viable tool for high-verisimilitude PTP research.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Demonstrated the feasibility of studying PTP effects in real-time legal proceedings.

    • Conclusions:

    • Internet-based research offers a practical solution for enhancing the external validity of PTP studies.
    • Further research is needed to explore potential interactions between independent variables and research methods impacting generalizability.
