Len Lecci

Len Lecci is an American psychologist whose research focus is primarily in the area of personality psychology. Some research interests include hypochondriasis, detection of memory loss, and the relationship between personality and psychiatric disorders. Lecci, along with Bryan Myers, is credited with the development of the Pretrial Juror Attitudes Questionnaire (PJAQ) which is a 29 question empirical measurement of juror biases and attitudes used in legal settings. The PJAQ has been shown to be highly effective at identifying juror attitudes in comparison to using non-empirical methods such as interviews with potential jurors who may hide true attitudes or beliefs while in the presence of others.
