Before the first round ends, the boxer in the dark trunks is suddenly on the canvas(拳击台上的帆布), seemingly caught by an unexpected blow from his opponent. He gets up, looking fine, however, and the bout(较量) continues. Again in the third round, the same boxer is knocked down, but he is up again by the count of 7, and finishes the round. The fight eventually goes until after 10 rounds, and boxers stand together with the referee while the decision is made. The boxer in the dark trunks wins!Youre confused even a little upset. How could he be declared the winner? He was knocked down to the canvas twice and his opponent was not even once during the entire fight! You were sure the man in the white trunks had won.What happened? Did the judges make a wrong decision? Did you make a bad judgment? Actually, neither you nor the judges made a poor judgment. What happened is that you were judging by different criteria. The criterion(pl. criteria) is the basis on which a judgment is made. As an untrained observer, you believed that knockdowns were a key criterion in deciding the outcome of the boxing match. The judges, however, following the rules of boxing, made their decision based on the number of punches(出拳) landed during the fight. Therefore, they also considered the strategy and the defense of the boxers in making their decision. So you have two different judgments each of which could be supported depending on the criterion used to make the judgment.It often happened that people make judgments without really thinking about the criterion upon which they are judging. This is often the source of differences between parents and children. For example, when a teenager wants to buy her or his own car, the parents criteria for selection might include economy(节约) and safety, whereas looks, style and horsepower might be more important criteria from the teens point of view. It is precisely the lack of recognition(公共认同) of criteria that the advertiser plays on(利用) to persuade us to buy a product, suggesting, for example, that the best criterion for buying something is whether it makes us “look young” or whether “our friends have one.”Criteria for judgments generally come from our past experiences: Sometimes we judge on the basis of firsthand experiences we have had with a given object or situation. However, many of the judgments we make are based on the unique set of beliefs, biases(偏见), and habits we have come to acquire(获得、形成) throughout our lifetimes.5 .
