Yoo, Hyun Seung; Smith-Jackson, Tonya L. – Behaviour & Information Technology, 2011
Although the influence of colour on size perception has been known for a century, there is only limited research on interventions that can reduce this effect. This study was therefore undertaken in order to identify appropriate interventions and propose design guidelines for information visualisation, especially in applications where size…

Yen, Nai-Shing; Tsai, Jie-Li; Chen, Pei-Ling; Lin, Hsuan-Yu; Chen, Arbee L. P. – Behaviour & Information Technology, 2011
To investigate the most efficient way to represent text in reading Chinese on computer displays, three typographic variables, character size (41[feet] arc/24 pixels and 60[feet] arc/32 pixels), character spacing (1/4 and 1/8 character width) and font type (Kai and Ming), were manipulated. Results showed that the reading speed for Chinese…

Measuring Website Quality: Asymmetric Effect of User Satisfaction
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Kincl, Tomas; Strach, Pavel – Behaviour & Information Technology, 2012
Website quality measurement tools have been largely static and have struggled to determine relevant attributes of user satisfaction. This study compares and contrasts attributes of user satisfaction based on usability guidelines seeking to identify practical easy-to-administer measurement tools. The website users assessed business school homepages…

Analyses of User Rationality and System Learnability: Performing Task Variants in User Tests
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Law, Effie Lai-Chong; Blazic, Borka Jerman; Pipan, Matic – Behaviour & Information Technology, 2007
No systematic empirical study on investigating the effects of performing task variants on user cognitive strategy and behaviour in usability tests and on learnability of the system being tested has been documented in the literature. The current use-inspired basic research work aims to identify the underlying cognitive mechanisms and the practical…

Ahmed, Jamil Shaikh; Coughlan, Jane; Edwards, Michael; Morar, Sonali S. – Behaviour & Information Technology, 2009
Expert operative information is a prerequisite for any form of surgical training. However, the shortening of working hours has reduced surgical training time and learning opportunities. As a potential solution to this problem, multimedia programs have been designed to provide computer-based assistance to surgical trainees outside of the operating…
