Judgement
(Redirected from Judged)
Judgement or judgment is the evaluation of evidence to make a decision. The term has four distinct uses:
- Informal – opinions expressed as facts.
- Informal and psychological – used in reference to the quality of cognitive faculties and adjudicational capabilities of particular individuals, typically called wisdom or discernment.
- Legal – used in the context of legal trial, to refer to a final finding, statement, or ruling, based on a considered weighing of evidence, called "adjudication". See spelling note for further explanation.
- Religious – used in the concept of salvation to refer to the adjudication of God in determining Heaven or Hell for each and all human beings. God's assessment of a person's worth: a determination of "good" connotes Heaven; "evil" connotes Hell.
Informal judgement[edit | edit source]
Informal judgement is a decision made based on the evaluator's knowledge and understanding. It is often subjective and can be influenced by the evaluator's personal biases or beliefs.
Psychological judgement[edit | edit source]
Psychological judgement refers to the cognitive faculties and adjudicational capabilities of an individual. This type of judgement is often used in the field of psychology to assess an individual's ability to make sound decisions and understand the consequences of their actions.
Legal judgement[edit | edit source]
In a legal context, judgement refers to the final finding, statement, or ruling based on a considered weighing of evidence. This is also known as adjudication. The judgement in a legal case can have significant consequences for the parties involved, including financial penalties, imprisonment, or other forms of punishment.
Religious judgement[edit | edit source]
In religious contexts, judgement often refers to the adjudication of God in determining Heaven or Hell for each and all human beings. This type of judgement is a central theme in many religions, including Christianity, Islam, and Judaism.
