People routinely adjust their subjective judgment standards as they evaluate members of stereotyped social groups. Such shifts are less likely to occur, however, when judgments are made on stable, "objective" response scales. In 3 studies, subjects judged a series of targets with respect to a number of gender-relevant attributes (e.g.t height, weight, and income), using either subjective (Liker...

Subjective language detection is one of the most important challenges in Sentiment Analysis. Because of the weight and frequency in opinionated texts, adjectives are considered a key piece in the opinion extraction process. These subjective units are more and more frequently collected in polarity lexicons in which they appear annotated with their prior polarity. However, at the moment, any pola...

I derive a unique subjective probabilistic belief p and Bayesian updating for this belief from ambiguity averse preferences. To do so, I assume an exogenous information set ∆ of possible probabilistic scenarios on the state space S. Every uncertain prospect f is evaluated via a mixture of the unique subjective belief p with the least favorable scenario for f in the set ∆. The weight of p in thi...

Background: Only limited data are available on the outcome of tension-free obturator tape (TOT) procedures in overweight and obese women. We would like to verify the objective and subjective outcomes of TOT in women with a higher body mass index (BMI). Methods: We evaluated the records of 116 patients who had undergone TOT, stratifying by BMI into normal weight (n=31), overweight (n=56), and ob...

Theory of mind, the capacity for reasoning about mental states such as beliefs and intentions, represents a critical input to ethical and aesthetic evaluations. Did the agent cause harm on purpose? Were those brushstrokes intentional? The current study investigates theory of mind for moral and artistic judgments within the same paradigm. In particular, we target the role of intent for two kinds...

One is determined by the knowledge and experience of experts or individuals, and called subjective weight; the other is based on statistical properties and measurement data, and is called objective weight. In this...
