http://forensicpsychologist.blogspot.com/2013/11/static-99-developers-embrace-redemption.html

In the news by Karen Franklin PhD: Remarkable experiment proves pull of adversarial allegiance
http://forensicpsychologist.blogspot.com/2013/03/remarkable-experiment-proves-pull-of.html
March 5, 2013. Remarkable experiment proves pull of adversarial allegiance. Psychologists' scoring of forensic tools depends on which side they believe has hired them. A brilliant experiment has proven that adversarial pressures skew forensic psychologists' scoring of supposedly objective risk assessment tests, and that this "adversarial allegiance" is not due to selection bias, or preexisting differences among evaluators. The groundbreaking research, to be published in the journal Psychological Science.
