po, 2012). These theories can be applied to the movie.
作为态度的一个组成部分，说服力是这部电影的一个重要方面。说服需要改变态度的过程。根据约翰·卡乔波和理查德·佩蒂的观点，有两种说服途径：中央和外围。这些理论可以应用于电影。
The central persuasion route entails the process by which an individual carefully thinks about communication and is majorly impacted by the power of argument (Petty & Cacioppo, 2012). The two faction leaders portray the central persuasion route. Fonda defends his not-guilty vote in an elucidated and well-thought manner. He illustrates this using empirical evidence and eventually convinces the other jury members. In a similar manner, the other faction leader, the businessman, exploits his inductive and stoic nature to come up with a fact-based argument. He uses the central persuasion route, just like Fonda.
中心说服路线包括个人仔细思考沟通的过程，并主要受到论证力量的影响。两位派系领导人描绘了主要的说服路线。方达以一种明确和深思熟虑的方式为自己的无罪投票辩护。他用经验证据说明了这一点，并最终说服了其他陪审团成员。以类似的方式，另一个派系领袖，商人，利用他的感性和坚忍的天性，提出了一个基于事实的论点。他和方达一样，使用中心说服路线。
The peripheral persuasion route is evidenced by the superficial cues attached to the argument instead of the factual validity of the argument. The sickly jury member convinces the other members to adopt an attitude founded on ethnic and racial perspectives. Eventually, having been discouraged by fellow jury members, the sickly man encourages his close jury members that the young boy should be convicted because of how the African American act; that they are fond of lying, stealing, and drinking. The sickly jury member has utilized the peripheral persuasion route using non-factual cues.
外围说服路线的证据是附在论点上的表面线索，而不是论点的事实有效性。病态的陪审团成员说服其他成员采取基于种族和种族观点的态度。最终，在被其他陪审团成员劝阻后，这位体弱多病的男子鼓励他的亲密陪审团成员，因为这位非洲裔美国人的行为，这个年轻男孩应该被定罪；他们喜欢撒谎、偷窃和喝酒。这位体弱多病的陪审团成员利用了非事实线索的外围说服路线。
Group Process 群体过程
The jury context qualifies the status of a small group. Various theories regarding the performance of a group are applicable to this film. Certain group process theories relevant to this movie entail social loafing, group polarization, and social facilitation (Armstrong & Berg, 2005). However, this section will focus on social loafing and the social impact theory.
陪审团的背景决定了一个小团体的地位。关于团队表现的各种理论适用于本片。与这部电影相关的某些群体过程理论包括社会闲散、群体极化和社会促进。然而，本节将着重于社会闲散和社会影响理论。
The theory of social loafing is a theory that has been proved severally using a lot of research on group processes. Social loafing is outlined as a group-sourced reduction in a person's output on a task where effort has been brought together (Waller et al., 2013). This is shown when many jury members offer insufficient arguments for supporting their ideas. This theory is applicable when the volatile individual abdicates his reasoning to the businessman proclaiming that the faction leader “should tell them”. The sports fan's behavior is also a characteristic of social loafing. The volatile individual offers insufficient, effortless, and not-well-thought responses when asked about his stand on the boy's innocence or guilt.
社会游手好闲理论是一个已经通过大量关于群体过程的研究分别得到证明的理论。社交游手好闲被概括为一个人在一项任务上的集体产出减少，而这项任务的努力已经集中在一起。当许多陪审团成员为支持他们的想法提供了不足的论据时，这一点就表现出来了。当反复无常的个人将自己的推理拱手让给商人，宣称派系领导人“应该告诉他们”时，这一理论适用。体育迷的行为也是社交游手好闲的一个特点。当被问及他对男孩无罪或有罪的立场时，这个反复无常的人给出了不充分、不费力、不深思熟虑的回答。
The adherence and conviction that Fonda shows in the evaluation of the case is an example of social compensation. He believes in morality and justice, and further goes on to outline that the boy is entitled to a fair trial and he cannot sentence anyone without a close evaluation of facts. In the presence of social loafing, Fonda demonstrates social compensation.
方达在案件评估中表现出的坚持和信念是社会赔偿的一个例子。他相信道德和正义，并进一步指出，男孩有权得到公正的审判，如果没有对事实的仔细评估，他不能对任何人判刑。在社会游手好闲的情况下，方达展示了社会补偿。
The social impact theory outlines that the degree of influence an individual witnesses in a group setting is based on a number of factors which rely on the strength of the group (social status or power), the group’s immediacy (psychological or physical distance), and the number of individuals in the group with social influence (Latané & Wolf, 1981). Therefore, a group that has many indivi
