Perception during use of force and the likelihood of firing upon an unarmed person

Abstract Stress can impact perception, especially during use-of-force. Research efforts can thus advance both theory and practice by examining how perception during use-of-force might drive behavior. The current study explored the relationship between perceptual judgments and performance during nove...
