Control Locus

This study examined jurors' health locus of control, locus of authority, sex, and attribution assigned to the physician in a simulated trial by subject-jurors. Subjects viewed videotaped closing arguments of a fictionalized medical malpractice case and assigned fault to each party in the case. The primary finding was that women tended to assign greater responsibility (57.00%) to the physician than did men (37.92%).
