Abstract：
In recent years, it has become clear that expert opinion can be biased. It has been argued that forensic psychologists may also be susceptible to bias. In the present study, the vulnerability of forensic psychological evaluation of the suspect\'s mental health to the context effect (i.e. the influencing of the expert opinion by irrelevant information) was tested. Master students in forensic psychology were asked to interpret test scores of a suspect in a fictitious double murder case. Some participants received a version of the case in which the description of the murders was neutral. Others received a more explicit version. Whereas the explicitness should not affect the forensic psychological evaluation, it was found that participants in the latter condition seemed more concerned about the suspect\'s mental health than those in the former. It is concluded that training programmes in forensic psychological assessment should devote attention to bias.
摘要：
近年来,很明显，专家意见可能有偏见。有人认为，法医心理学家也可能容易受到偏见的影响。在本研究中,对犯罪嫌疑人心理健康的法医心理评估对语境效应(即无关信息对专家意见的影响)的脆弱性进行了测试。法医心理学硕士学生被要求解释一个虚构的双重谋杀案中嫌疑人的考试成绩。一些参与者收到了案件的一个版本，其中对谋杀案的描述是中立的。其他人收到了更明确的版本。而显性不应影响法医心理评估，研究发现，后一种情况的参与者似乎比前者更关心嫌疑人的心理健康。结论是，法医心理评估培训计划应注意偏见。
