| Annotation | The perception of elder financial exploitation was investigated using 104 community members and 143 undergraduate students in Kentucky. Participants read an exploitation trial summary in which an 85 year old woman accused her son of stealing her money. Primary results indicated that alleged victims described as healthy rendered more guilty verdicts. Those described as having a cognitive deficit pro-victim judgments were higher for women than men; and younger and older community members rendered more guilty verdicts man middle-aged mock jurors. The results are discussed in terms of the factors that affect the perception of exploitation in court. (RH). |
