This article describes an exploratory application of social judgment theory (SJT) to analysis of physicians' clinical judgment. The study reflects the interest of the investigators in evaluating the utility of SJT in assessments of an important component of physicians'clinical skills. In the opening section, research on judgment is described relative to other contemporary approaches. A description of the conceptual underpinnings of SJT is provided next, followed by data obtained in a preliminary application of SJT to physicians' clinical judgment in management of ambulatory patients with chronic illness. Discussion of results is restricted to possible interpretations of various measures of clinical judgment. In the closing sections the structure of a broad research agenda is outlined.
