Deciding Compensation for Non-Economic Damages

9422789萨克斯关于侵权诉讼中损害赔偿的诸多方面存在着深刻的争议，但对损害赔偿诉讼中的决定性质却鲜有系统的认识。这项研究将启动一个关于人们如何在人身伤害案件中做出补偿性损害赔偿的研究计划。补偿性损害赔偿是对事故受害者的痛苦、痛苦、失去生活乐趣、毁容、残疾和类似损失进行赔偿的赔偿。这项研究将试图发现人们如何组织他们对事故受害者受伤的感知，并将他们的感知转化为赔偿金额。它将寻求为担任民事陪审员的法官、原告和辩护律师以及普通公民制定平行或不同的解释。其压倒一切的目标是更全面地解释和更准确地预测薪酬决定。这项即将进行的研究向法官、律师和公民的样本展示了各种各样的伤害及其后果，以努力绘制做出损害决定的“伤害空间”，并确定人们用来组织对伤害的判断的核心伤害属性。它将作为未来研究的基础，详细阐述将要开发的损伤决策模型。关于侵权诉讼中损害赔偿的诸多方面存在着深刻的争议，但对损害赔偿诉讼中损害赔偿决策的性质却鲜有系统的认识。这项研究将启动一个关于人们如何在人身伤害案件中做出补偿性损害赔偿的研究计划。补偿性损害赔偿是对事故受害者的痛苦、痛苦、失去生活乐趣、毁容、残疾和类似损失进行赔偿的赔偿。这项研究将试图发现人们如何组织他们对事故受害者受伤的感知，并将他们的感知转化为赔偿金额。它将寻求为担任民事陪审员的法官、原告和辩护律师以及普通公民制定平行或相互矛盾的解释。其压倒一切的目标是更全面地解释和更准确地预测薪酬决定。****

9422789 Saks Profound controversy exists about many aspects of damages in tort litigation, but there is very little systematic knowledge about the nature of decision making in litigation for damages. This research will initiate a program of study on how people make awards of compensatory damages in personal injury cases. Compensatory damages are awards to compensate accident victims for their pain, suffering, loss of enjoyment of life, disfigurement, disability, and similar losses. The research will seek to discover how people organize their perceptions of an accident victim's injury and translate their perceptions into compensation amounts. It will seek to develop parallel or contrasting explanations for judges, plaintiff and defense lawyers, and ordinary citizens, who serve as civil jurors. Its overriding goal is to more fully account for and more accurately predict compensation decisions. The study to be conducted presents to samples of judges, attorneys, and citizens a wide variety of injuries and their consequences in an effort to map the "injury space" within which damage decisions are made and to identify the core injury attributes people use to organize their judgments about injuries. It will serve as a foundation for future research elaborating the model of damage decision making that will be developed. %%%% Profound controversy exists about many aspects of damages in tort litigation, but there is very little systematic knowledge about the nature of decision making in litigation for damages.
