Error Parsing: An alternative method of implementing social judgment theory

Crystal C. Hall and Daniel M. Oppenheimer

Judgment and Decision Making, 2015, vol. 10, issue 5, 469-478

Abstract: We present a novel method of judgment analysis called Error Parsing, based upon an alternative method of implementing Social Judgment Theory (SJT). SJT and Error Parsing both posit the same three components of error in human judgment: error due to noise, error due to cue weighting, and error due to inconsistency. In that sense, the broad theory and framework are the same. However, SJT and Error Parsing were developed to answer different questions, and thus use different methodological approaches in the analysis of error. While SJT makes use of correlational methods, Error Parsing uses absolute differences. We discuss the similarities and differences between the methodologies and provide empirical evidence for the utility of the Error Parsing technique. Keywords: Social Judgment Theory, judgment, error.
