Fast and frugal versus regression models of human Judgement
Thinking & Reasoning, 2001Co-Authors: Mandeep K. Dhami, Clare HarriesAbstract:Following Brunswik (1952), Social Judgement theorists have long relied on regression models to describe both an individual's Judgements and the environment about which such Judgements are made. However, Social Judgement theory is not synonymous with these compensatory, static, structural models. We compared the characterisations of physicians' Judgements using a regression model with that of a non-compensatory process model (called fast and frugal). We found that both models fit the data equally well. Both models suggest that physicians use few cues, that they disagree among themselves, and that their stated cue use is discrepant with the models' stated cue use. However, the fast and frugal model is easier to convey to physicians and is also more psychologically plausible. Implications for how Social Judgement theorists conceptualise the process of vicarious functioning are discussed.

Studying Clinical Reasoning, Part 2: Applying Social Judgement Theory
British Journal of Occupational Therapy, 2001Co-Authors: Priscilla Harries, Clare HarriesAbstract:Part 1 of this paper (Harries and Harries 2001) examined the reasoning studies of the 1980s and 1990s and critiqued the ethnographic and information-processing approaches, based on stated informati...

Studying Clinical Reasoning, Part 1: Have We been Taking the Wrong ' Track' ?
British Journal of Occupational Therapy, 2001Co-Authors: Priscilla Harries, Clare HarriesAbstract:This is the first of two papers that examine clinical reasoning research in occupational therapy. It discusses the reasoning studies of the 1980s and 1990s, focusing on ethnographic and process-tracing approaches. From this critique, a need for an approach that acknowledges the experienced thinker's intuitive reasoning is identified. The second paper will present such an approach, based on Social Judgement theory, and demonstrate the first application of such a method in the field of occupational therapy.

surveyor variability application of Social Judgement theory
Structural Survey, 2003Co-Authors: Jim Kempton, Amir M. Alani, Keith ChapmanAbstract:Surveyor variability has been previously identified as a barrier to the consistency and usability of house condition survey data. This paper explores the use of Social Judgement theory (SJT) as a potential method to account for, and reduce the impact of, surveyor variability. The study followed the principles of SJT first proposed by Egon Brunswik. The results of the study indicate that the SJT method does have the potential to aid understanding of the survey Judgement policy of individual surveyors in terms of the importance they give to building elements and the underlying focus, or theme, of a survey. Knowledge of this policy could be utilised in house condition surveys by recalibration of survey results to take account of a surveyor’s policy. In addition, training requirements for individual surveyors could be identified.

building a sentiment lexicon for Social Judgement mining
Processing of the Portuguese Language, 2012Co-Authors: Mario J Silva, Paula Carvalho, Luis SarmentoAbstract:We present a methodology for automatically enlarging a Portuguese sentiment lexicon for mining Social judgments from text, i.e., detecting opinions on human entities. Starting from publicly-availabe language resources, the identification of human adjectives is performed through the combination of a linguistic-based strategy, for extracting human adjective candidates from corpora, and machine learning for filtering the human adjectives from the candidate list. We then create a graph of the synonymic relations among the human adjectives, which is built from multiple open thesauri. The graph provides distance features for training a model for polarity assignment. Our initial evaluation shows that this method produces results at least as good as the best that have been reported for this task.
