  • Ranked data are widely used in the area of social sciences, for instance in polls and preference surveys, in which a number of objects (or stimuli) are evaluted and ranked by a panel of judges (or subject) according to their preference. We propose a graphical method for ranked data by quantifying objects and judges. In a plot for judges, the interpoint distances can be interpreted as Spearman or Kendall distance between two rankings given by respective judges. Similarly, we also construct a plot for objects with a sensible relationship to the previous plot for judges.

  • The anchoring effect can be found when a decision shows cognitive prejudice towards the initial information given. Several studies have argued that such an effect is present even for judges in the courtroom. This paper seeks to find a relationship between judges' decisions on penalty sentences and the sentences recommended by prosecutors. In this study, 2,773 actual court cases are considered in the analysis, and quantile regression is used to show that the sentencing decisions judges make are anchored by the recommendations of prosecutors. However, this reliance on recommendations differs according to the seriousness of the crime committed. Specifically, at the lowest penalty levels, a one-month increase in the prosecutors' sentencing recommendation results in a 0.25-month increase in the judges' sentence, while at the highest sentence level, the judges' sentences increase by 0.78 months under an identical condition. The results of this research indicate the need to create more objective and clear sentencing guidelines in the future in an effort to mitigate the psychological pressure experienced by judges with regard to serious offences or heinous crimes.

  • Partially ranked data refers to the situation in which there are p distinct objects; however each judge specifies only first s (s < p) choices. The group theoretic formulation for partially ranked data analysis was set up by Critchlow (1985). We propose a graphical method for partially ranked data by quantifying objects and judges. In a plot for judges, the interpoint distances can be interpreted as Spearman or Kendall distances between two rankings given by respective judges. Similarly, we also construct a plot for objects with a sensible relationship to the previous plot for judges. This study extends the Han and Huh (1995) quantification method of fully ranked data using Gabriel's (1971) biplot technique for multivariate data matrix.

  • The purpose of this study was to develop a scale for the evaluation of the subjective fabric hand. In order to find out the appropriate method for the evaluation, bipolar adjectives were compared to unipolar adjectives. One hundred female university students we.e selected as judges. They assessed 9 fabrics using the 9 point scale system for both bipolar and unipolar adjectives. When using the bipola. scale, judges responded more consistently showing smaller deviation among their responses. The Judges seemed to understand the meanings of adjectives in the bipolar scale more clearly than in the unipolar scale. Unipolar scale has twice the number of questions than bipolar scale does. Therefore. judges often felt bored responding to the questions using unipolar adjectives. If the appropriate antonym can be found through verified method, bipolar scale seems to have more advantages than unipolar scale.

  • 본 연구에서는 현직 법관 24명을 대상으로 법관들이 재판과 관련하여 사회여론을 어떻게 개념화하는지와 사회여론에 대해 어떤 태도를 취하는지에 대한 초점 집단 면접(FGI)을 실시하고, 인터뷰 내용에 대한 근거이론적 분석과 구조적 토픽 모델링(STM)을 수행하였다. 근거이론적 분석 결과에 따르면, 연구 참여자들은 사회상규, 사회통념, 법감정, 국민정서를 여론과 개념적으로 구분하였고, 여론을 특정한 법적 쟁점이나 사건에 대한 일시적이고 감정적인 반응과 정책에 대한 지속적인 의견으로 구분하여 이해하였다. 그리고 사건의 종류나 법적 쟁점에 따라 여론이나 사회통념에 대해 다른 태도를 취하는 것으로 나타났다. 토픽 모델링 결과는 근거이론적 분석 결과와 상당한 유사성을 보였고, 특정 토픽의 발현 가능성은 연구 참여자들의 담당 사건 종류에 따라 통계적으로 유의미한 차이를 보였다.

  • 보통 사람들이 보이는 인지적 방략(cognitive heuristic)인 정박 방략(anchoring heuristic), 대표성 방략(representativeness heuristic), 그리고 사고 틀 효과(framing effect)가 고도의 판단 전문가인 현역 판사들의 의사결정 과정과 대학생들로 구성된 집단의 의사결정 과정에서도 발견되는지를 알아보기 위해 세 개의 연구가 수행되었다. 연구1에서는 한국의 법률상황에 맞는 시나리오를 구성하여, 전문영역에서 많은 경험과 정형화된 훈련을 통해 증거를 평가하는 고도의 판단 전문가인 158명의 현역판사들의 의사결정 과정에서도 이러한 인지적 방략이 발견되는지를 알아보고자 하였다. 연구 2에서는 토의과정을 거쳐서 만장일치에 의해 도출되는 집단적 판단에서도 인지적 방략의 효과가 발생할 것인가를 검증해 보고자 하였다. 연구 3에서는 연구 2의 집단판단에 관한 결과를 보다 명확히 해석하기 위한 목적으로 일반인들의 개인판단을 알아보았다. 연구 1의 결과, 현역 판사들의 판단에서는 '저 정박점'에 의한 정박 방략 효과가 강하게 나타나는 것이 확인되었으나, '고 정박점'에 의한 정박 방략 효과는 나타나지 않았다. 사고 틀 효과는 전혀 발견되지 않았으며, 판사들의 사후확률 추론은 조건확률보다는 사전확률에 의해 더 크게 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났다. 연구 2와 연구3의 결과에 따르면, 정방 방략 효과는 개인판단과 집단판단에서 모두 나타났으나, 개인판단보다 집단판단에서 더 크게 나타났다. 사고 틀 효과는 개인판단에서 부분적으로 나타났으나, 집단판단에서는 전혀 나타나지 않았다. 대표성 방략 효과는 현역판사의 판단과 모의배심 판단에서 모두 발견되지 않았다. 각 연구의 결과가 사법제도에 대하여 가지는 시사점이 논의되었다.

  • The purpose of Maritime Safety Tribunal is that experts about ship operation investigate and reveal causes of marine disasters and suggest plans to prevent recurrence in Korean Maritime Safety Tribunal which is a kind of administrative court. Despite the fact that 72% of marine disasters is fishing vessel accidents and 75% of collision accidents between vessels which most occur is related to fishing boats, it is the very serious problem that there is no any person with licenses of marine technicians for fishing vessels in judges and investigators of Korean Maritime Safety Tribunal. The operational characteristics of fishing vessels, their sizes, and shift patterns of duties in wheelhouses are completely and incommensurably different from those of merchant vessels. By the way, if the investigators and judges who just consist of merchant vessel experts investigate and judge marine accidents about fishing vessels, there could be errors in establishment of policies to investigate and reveal their causes and prevent recurrence of accidents. Especially, in case of collision accidents between fishing vessels and merchant vessels, it is thought that the marine accident interested provides causes which can be doubtful about fairness of judges. Therefore, it is thought that the ratio of judges and investigators is most desirable to compose it to be similar to the occurrence frequency of marine accidents. For this, the following solution plans are suggested. First, qualification for appointment requires first class marine technicians. But there is the only one vessel which needs the first class in fishing vessels. Therefore, it is thought that the provisory clause should be added so that the second class marine technicians can be used instead of the first class ones. Second, the marine accidents of fishing vessels reach 72% but the fact that there is no any judge and investigator with licenses of marine technicians for fishing vessels is thought to go against the purpose of establishment of Korean Maritime Safety Tribunal. Therefore, it is thought that there is, at least, one more judges and investigators in the central and local Korean Maritime Safety Tribunals. The same method should be applied to judge assistants and investigation assistants.

  • Objective: The purpose of this study was to identify kinematic variables that govern successful performance and judges' scores and to establish correlative relationships among those of Yurchenko layout with a full twist in female vaults. Method: Four video cameras with sampling rate of 60 Hz collected 32 motion data of Yurchenko vaults from twenty-two female participants (age: $18.6{\pm}3.6years$, height: $153.0{\pm}6.5cm$, mass: $44.7{\pm}7.3kg$) during national competition. Posting processing and calculations of kinematic variables were performed in Kwon 3D XP and $Matlab^{(R)}$ programs. Correlation and regression analyses were applied to find the relationships between the obtained scores and kinematic variables. Deterministic model (Hay & Reid, 1988) was used to investigate the strength of correlative relationships among kinematic variables. Results: The obtained scores from the judges' decision were mainly affected by post-flight peak height, horse contact time, knee angle at landing, and horse takeoff angle. Strong blocking during horse contact was required to get successful performance and obtain high scores. Modified deterministic model showed that round-off entrance and takeoff angles and resultant velocity of the center of mass (CM) during the roundoff phase were the starting variables affecting performance in the following kinematics. Knee angle at landing, a highly influential variable on the obtained point, was only determined by judges' decision without significant correlative relationship with previous kinematic variables. Conclusion: The obtained scores highly depended on kinematic variables of post-flight and horse contact phases that were affected by those from the previous phases including round-off postures and resultant velocity of the body center of mass.

  • Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the differences between visual search, eye fixation positions, and eye fixation position on whole body regions while judging final matches of dance sports. Method: Ten experienced judges (male 6, female 4) and six dance sports couples belonging to the top Korean leagues in the Korea Dance sports Federation were participated. Wearable eye trackers were used for data collection. The independent t-test was conducted to examine the effects of gender, and the two-way ANOVA was conducted to examine the effects of judges' gender, dance event, and ranking. Results: It was found that the movement of male contestants was preferred, and the gaze fixation was high for torso movements in the judges' evaluations. Moreover, attention was focused on the upper body rather than the lower body; this was maintained for about seven seconds to evaluate each couple. Conclusion: This find was the relative comparison between the two couples was the determining factor in winning or losing.
