Unlike many models of bias correction, our flexible correction model posits that corrections occur when judges are motivated and able to adjust assessments of targets according to their naive theories of how the context affects judgments of the target(s). In the current research, people flexibly correct assessments of different targets within the same context according to the differing theories associated with the context-target pairs. In Study 1, shared theories of assimilation and contrast bias are identified. Corrections consistent with those theories are obtained in Studies 2 and 3. Study 4 shows that idiographic measures of theories of bias predict the direction and magnitude of corrections. Implications of this work for corrections of attributions and bias removal in general are discussed.
与许多偏差校正模型不同，我们的灵活校正模型假定，当判断者有动机且能够根据他们关于情境如何影响对目标的判断的朴素理论来调整对目标的评估时，校正就会发生。在当前的研究中，人们会根据与情境 - 目标对相关的不同理论，在同一情境中灵活地校正对不同目标的评估。在研究1中，识别出同化和对比偏差的共享理论。在研究2和研究3中获得了与这些理论一致的校正。研究4表明，偏差理论的个性化测量能够预测校正的方向和幅度。本文还讨论了这项工作对归因校正和一般偏差消除的意义。
