Beyond contractual interpretation: bias in arbitrators' case perceptions and award recommendations
研究通过向执业仲裁员发送书面案例，操纵前科、违规后果和印象管理策略，发现印象管理和前科独立影响裁决严厉程度，且存在显著交互作用。
This study applies literature on extra-legal variables and impression management towards an understanding of judgment biases in arbitration. The extra-legal variables of previous record and consequence of infraction as well as impression management strategy were manipulated in a written case sent to practising arbitrators. Results suggest that impression management and previous record independently affected the severity of the arbitrator's ruling. In addition, significant interactions occurred. The data are discussed in terms of implications for arbitration and future studies in the area. Copyright © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
