A meaningful and deep understanding of the human aspects of software engineering (SE) requires psychological constructs to be considered. Psychology theory can facilitate the systematic and sound development as well as the adoption of instruments (e.g., ...

Cognitive online pretests have, in recent years, become recognized as a promising tool for evaluating questions prior to their use in actual surveys. While existing research has shown that cognitive online pretests produce similar results to face-to-face ...

Online surveys are an extremely popular research method in HCI and UX research. Surveys are often perceived to be easy to create [1] and sometimes used even if they are not the most appropriate method [7]. This course will review state-of-the-art methods,...

Design principles for survey questionnaires viewed on desktop and laptop computers are increasingly being seen as inadequate for the design of questionnaires viewed on smartphones. Insights gained from empirical research can help those conducting mobile ...

The paper describes an investigation into the public opinion about self-driving vehicles among Dutch people. New in our approach is to design a questionnaire on the basis of different theories of acceptance of new technology in organisations and society ...

The situational case-based teaching technique is a promising student-centered teaching and learning strategy, which is effective to address critical issues embedded in engineering curricula, cultivation system of talents and practical engineering ...

To better support the self-management of chronic pain, this paper investigates how those living with the condition prefer to self-assess their pain levels using smartphones. Our work consists of three stages: design ideation and review, an in-lab user ...

Online surveys are widely used in human-computer interaction (HCI) to gather feedback and measure satisfaction; at a glance many tools are available and the cost of conducting surveys appears low. However, there is a wide gap between quick-and-dirty ...

The literature on human-computer interaction consistently stresses the importance of reducing the cognitive effort required by users who interact with a computer in order to improve the experience and enhance usability and comprehension. Applying this ...

In this study, we explore to what extent the visual presentation of open-ended probes, in connection with different prior probing exposure, impacts on response quality. We experiment with two text box sizes for a specific immigrant probe (Which type of ...

Surveys are a commonly used method within HCI research. While it initially appears easy and inexpensive to conduct surveys, overlooking key considerations in questionnaire design and the survey research process can yield skewed, biased, or entirely ...

This work-in-progress paper introduces the concept of Respondent Behavior Logging (RBL), consisting of static and dynamic models that conceptualize respondent behavior when filling in online questionnaires. It is argued that web-based survey design may ...

Respondents follow simple heuristics in interpreting the visual features of questions. The authors carried out two experiments in two panels to investigate how the effect of visual heuristics affects the answers to survey questions. In the first ...

In the present paper for the first time we solved the problem of logarithmically asymptotically optimal (LAO)identification of distributions for two independent simple homogeneous stationary Markov chains with finite number of states. The problem of ...

In this paper we report on the process and results of creating a questionnaire-based metric for experience of form. The questions for the metric were chosen on the basis of an expert evaluation and short iterative pilot tests, with the emphasis on ...

Web surveys offer new opportunities for achieving high-quality responses to open-ended questions because the interactive nature of the web allows questions to be tailored to individual respondents. This article explores how respondents' level of ...

To determine the need for the simulated training of e-commerce activities prior to working in the real environment, we studied the views of the undergraduates from several aspects. Two hundred university students were asked what the real problem was ...
