Abstract

Extensive research shows that adherence to procedural-justice principles by law-enforcement officers and judges leads to greater compliance with orders, a greater sense of the legitimacy, and greater overall satisfaction. The main principles leading to positive views of procedural justice in this research are voice (allowing participants to be heard), neutrality (applying neutral rules transparently), respect (treating participants with dignity while respecting their rights), and trustworthiness (appearing sincere and caring). Separate research on emotion regulation suggests ways in which judges may successfully regulate their own emotions and those of other courtroom participants. Several threads in these separate fields suggest potential overlap and areas for further research. There are many ways in which good procedural-justice practices are also recommended practices for emotion regulation. Scholars in the emerging emotion-regulation field could gain greater awareness of their work by exploring ties to procedural justice, which is more often being included in judicial education. Extensas investigaciones han demostrado que la alineación de jueces y de oficiales encargados de aplicar la ley con los principios de justicia procesal conduce a un mejor cumplimiento de las órdenes, un mayor sentido de legitimidad y mayor satisfacción general. Los principios más importantes que llevan a una visión positiva de la justicia procesal, en esta investigación, son la voz, la neutralidad, el respeto y la confianza (ser sincero y atento). Distintas investigaciones sobre la regulación de las emociones indican formas en que los jueces pueden regular adecuadamente sus emociones y las de los participantes en la sala. Hay muchas formas en las que buenas prácticas de justicia procesal son también prácticas recomendadas para regular emociones. Los académicos del área naciente de la regulación de emociones podrían adquirir una mayor conciencia de su trabajo al explorar la relación con la justicia procesal, que ahora se incluye cada vez más en la formación judicial.
