Abstract

Proposes a simple probabilistic model for explaining the effects of limiting the number of decision alternatives available to a decision maker. The model holds that the possible decisions in the restricted case are distributed in the same proportions as in the unrestricted case. N. Vidmar's data on juror verdicts were reanalyzed using this model and appear to be well fit by the model. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2006 APA, all rights reserved)
