Abstract

The widely utilized Global Positioning System (GPS) plays a crucial role in everyday navigation. The literature has predominantly focused on GPS use for reaching destinations rather than exploring its various strategic applications and relations with individual factors. The current paper is intended to develop a GPS Uses Scale assessing a variety of GPS uses for wayfinding and other GPS uses (Study 1). We also examine whether GPS uses are related to gender, age, self-efficacy and pleasure in exploring, dependence on GPS devices, and environment knowledge (Study 2). In Study 1, 365 participants completed the new GPS Uses Scale and the McGill GPS questionnaire, for assessing validity. Results from the confirmatory factor analysis confirmed a structure as five-level factors, good reliability, and validity. In Study 2, 200 participants completed the GPS Uses Scale, self-efficacy and pleasure in exploring scale, GPS dependence scale, and a sketch map task after learning a virtual city from a video. Results from the linear model showed that those who use GPS for strategic purposes reported higher self-efficacy and pleasure in exploring as well as dependence on GPS. Moreover, those who use GPS for orientation purposes reported higher dependency on GPS and had higher scores on the map task (environment knowledge). Men were less likely to use GPS for orientation. The present paper outlines the importance of assessing the various uses of GPS, suggesting self-efficacy and dependence on GPS, and contributes to its strategic use.

GPS使用的自我报告测量的发展及其与环境知识、自我效能和探索乐趣的关系。
广泛应用的全球定位系统(GPS)在日常导航中起着至关重要的作用。文献主要集中在GPS用于到达目的地,而不是探索其各种战略应用和与个人因素的关系。本论文旨在开发一种GPS使用量表,评估GPS在寻路和其他GPS用途中的各种用途(研究1)。我们还研究了GPS使用是否与性别、年龄、自我效能和探索乐趣、对GPS设备的依赖以及环境知识有关(研究2)。在研究1中,365名参与者完成了新的GPS使用量表和麦吉尔GPS问卷,以评估效度。验证性因子分析结果证实结构为五层次因子,信度、效度较好。在研究2中,200名参与者在通过视频学习虚拟城市后完成了GPS使用量表、自我效能感和探索乐趣量表、GPS依赖量表和草图任务。线性模型的结果显示,那些将GPS用于战略目的的人报告了更高的自我效能感和探索乐趣以及对GPS的依赖。此外,那些使用GPS定位的人对GPS的依赖程度更高,在地图任务(环境知识)上得分更高。男性不太可能使用GPS定位。本文概述了评估GPS各种用途的重要性,表明了对GPS的自我效能和依赖,并有助于其战略使用。
