University students in China faced great health challenges. Fitness apps based on smartphones have the potential to provide an innovative approach to the university students to increase physical activities and conduct health management. This study examined how confirmed usefulness and confirmed ease of use of fitness Apps affect the attitudes, intention of recommendation, and continuous use of fitness apps among Chinese university students. The study took a quantitative approach, using online questionnaire to collect data from 552 university students who had experiences using fitness Apps. All data analyses were conducted in R. Pearson’s correlation and multiple linear regression were used to examine associations. Both confirmed usefulness and confirmed ease of use were positively associated with attitude towards fitness Apps and intention of recommending fitness apps to others. However, only confirmed usefulness was positively related to frequency of using fitness apps. Confirmed ease of use was not significantly related to frequency of using fitness apps. We recommend future app-based health interventions targeting on university students to pay more attention to the functionality of the apps and integrate professional instructions into the program designs to help users achieve their goal more effectively.
中国大学生面临着巨大的健康挑战。基于智能手机的健身应用程序有可能为大学生提供一种创新的方式来增加体育活动和进行健康管理。本研究考察了健身app的实用性和易用性如何影响中国大学生对健身app的态度、推荐意愿和持续使用。该研究采用了定量方法,通过在线问卷收集了552名使用过健身app的大学生的数据。所有数据分析均采用R. Pearson相关,并采用多元线性回归检验相关性。确认有用性和确认易用性都与对健身应用的态度和向他人推荐健身应用的意愿呈正相关。然而,只有确认有用性与使用健身应用的频率呈正相关。确认易用性与使用健身应用的频率没有显著相关性。我们建议未来针对大学生的基于app的健康干预,更多地关注app的功能,并将专业指导融入到程序设计中,帮助用户更有效地实现他们的目标。

Recognising the importance of information in understanding and living with companion animals, this paper investigates cat and dog guardians’ opinions on how they learn new things and update themselves. It identifies a range of information, practices, and contexts within their everyday life. An anonymous online survey consisting of close-ended and open-ended questions was distributed to cat and dog guardians in New Zealand between October and December 2021. Response frequencies and descriptive statistics of quantitative data were generated. The qualitative data were open-coded with an information experience lens to identify the categories of information forms and practices. uantitative data indicate personal experiences and memories of guardians (75%), and casual conversations with other guardians (73%) as the most common resources for learning, after experts (e.g. veterinarians) (93%). Qualitative data analysis categorized these as two main themes of external and internal forms of information. External information consisted of social information in verbal and nonverbal communication with other humans and animals, recorded information in digital and physical mediums, and embedded information held in artifacts and animals’ body. Internal information related to guardians’ memory and personal knowledge (cognitive information), values and emotions (affective information), and bodily feelings and subjective interpretation of their senses (embodied information). The informational lifeworld of the participants was made of their external interactions and internal values, which appears as interwoven concepts in their daily lives with dogs and cats.
认识到信息在理解和与伴侣动物生活中的重要性,本文调查了猫和狗的监护人对他们如何学习新事物和更新自我的看法。它确定了他们日常生活中的一系列信息、实践和背景。一项由封闭式和开放式问题组成的匿名在线调查于2021年10月至12月期间在新西兰向猫和狗的监护人分发。生成定量数据的响应频率和描述性统计。定性数据是开放编码与信息经验镜头,以确定类别的信息形式和做法。定量数据表明,监护人的个人经历和记忆(75%)以及与其他监护人的随意对话(73%)是最常见的学习资源,仅次于专家(例如兽医)(93%)。定性数据分析将这些分类为两个主要主题的外部和内部形式的信息。外部信息包括与其他人类和动物的语言和非语言交流中的社会信息,以数字和物理媒介记录的信息,以及保存在人工制品和动物体内的嵌入式信息。与监护人的记忆和个人知识相关的内部信息(认知信息),与价值观和情绪相关的内部信息(情感信息),与身体感受和对感官的主观解释相关的内部信息(具身信息)。参与者的信息生活世界是由他们的外部互动和内部价值观组成的,这在他们与狗和猫的日常生活中表现为相互交织的概念。

The study focuses on the health information behaviour of people at the age of 60 years and older, with an emphasis on the adoption of information and communication technology, and differences by their socio-demographic background. A survey was used to collect the data from a random sample of 300 people aged 60 years and older. The response rate was 42%. Participants were divided up in two groups, people aged 60 to 67 years old, and people aged 68 years or older. Differences across sex and education were examined for each age group and Tuckey test used to examine if differences were significant. Although the majority in both age groups were interested in health information, including information in digital form, they had not yet adopted new health information and communication technology. People in the younger group considered it difficult to take new technology in use and both age groups found it difficult to get help using technology. It is not sufficient to make new information and communication technology available. For older adults to be ready to accept new technology and take it into use, they must be offered training at using it and technical support as needed.
这项研究的重点是60岁及以上老年人的保健信息行为,重点是信息和通信技术的采用情况,以及不同社会人口背景的差异。一项调查是从300名60岁及以上的随机样本中收集数据的。应答率为42%。参与者被分为两组,一组年龄在60到67岁之间,另一组年龄在68岁以上。研究人员检查了每个年龄组的性别和教育程度差异,并使用塔基测试来检查差异是否显著。虽然这两个年龄组中的大多数人都对卫生信息,包括数字形式的信息感兴趣,但他们尚未采用新的卫生信息和通信技术。年轻人认为很难接受新技术的使用,两个年龄段的人都认为很难获得使用技术的帮助。仅仅提供新的信息和通信技术是不够的。为了使老年人准备好接受新技术并将其投入使用,必须向他们提供使用新技术的培训和必要的技术支持。

Patent searching is a complex task and is mainly performed by experts in the field. Research shows that the integration of drawings into the search process is considered useful by experts and should therefore play a more important role in patent retrieval. In this study, experts were interviewed to find out when and in what form patent drawings should be integrated into the search process. The study combines qualitative data analysis and techniques from requirements engineering resulting in the context sensitive method called Q-rEx. The interviews were analysed with a mixed form of deductive and inductive category formation and combined with standards of patent retrieval systems. Experts want patent drawings to be more integrated in the search process to better analyse the relevance of patents. Therefore, in this study, requirements for innovative visual patent retrieval have been derived from actual user needs. The method presented in this study contributes to transparent and comprehensible user-centred elicitation of requirements regarding innovative visual patent retrieval. Not only the method needs further testing but also the integration of the requirements must be evaluated in additional user research..
专利检索是一项复杂的任务,主要由该领域的专家完成。研究表明,专家认为将图纸整合到检索过程中是有用的,因此应该在专利检索中发挥更重要的作用。在这项研究中,专家们接受了采访,以找出何时以及以何种形式将专利图纸整合到搜索过程中。该研究结合了定性数据分析和需求工程的技术,产生了称为Q-rEx的上下文敏感方法。采用混合形式的演绎和归纳类别形成并结合专利检索系统的标准对访谈进行分析。专家们希望在检索过程中更多地整合专利图,以便更好地分析专利的相关性。因此,在本研究中,创新的视觉专利检索需求来源于用户的实际需求。本研究中提出的方法有助于透明和可理解的以用户为中心的关于创新视觉专利检索需求的启发。不仅该方法需要进一步的测试,而且需求的集成也必须在额外的用户研究中进行评估。

This conceptual paper introduces the notion of algorithmically embodied emissions to highlight how everyday choices facilitated by commercial algorithmic information systems such as commercial search engines, social media and recommender systems contribute to the climate crisis and other forms of environmental destruction. The proposed concept is developed by integrating terminology from the fields of information studies, critical algorithm studies and environmental impact assessment, and by examining a strategic selection of examples. Through the examples, the authors show that semantic interpretation of queries as well as the information architecture involve normative dimensions with implications for the climate crisis and other forms of environmental destruction. The paper proposes a terminological framework that integrates conceptual considerations from environmental impact assessment, environmental communication, information studies and critical algorithm studies to articulate how algorithmic information systems are co-constitutive of environmental harm. The paper further suggest to extend environmental impact assessment to include algorithmic harms in order to take into account how responsibility and accountability are distributed among different actors with profoundly different conditions and opportunities to exercise them.
这篇概念性论文介绍了算法体现排放的概念,以强调商业算法信息系统(如商业搜索引擎、社交媒体和推荐系统)促进的日常选择如何导致气候危机和其他形式的环境破坏。所提出的概念是通过整合信息研究、关键算法研究和环境影响评估领域的术语,并通过检查示例的战略选择而发展起来的。通过这些例子,作者表明查询的语义解释以及信息架构涉及规范维度,对气候危机和其他形式的环境破坏具有影响。本文提出了一个术语框架,该框架整合了环境影响评估、环境沟通、信息研究和关键算法研究的概念考虑,以阐明算法信息系统如何共同构成环境危害。本文进一步建议将环境影响评估扩展到包括算法危害,以便考虑责任和问责制如何在具有截然不同的条件和机会的不同行为者之间分配。

This paper investigates the effects of information avoidance, information overload, health literacy on individuals’ shared health decision making. A research model is proposed based on sound theoretical background. Data from 155 respondents was collected via an online survey. Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM) was applied to analyse the data. The findings suggest that information overload and information avoidance both exhibit negative effects on an individual’s shared health decision making behaviour, while health literary possess positive effects. We also find that information avoidance has a positive impact on information avoidance. Moreover, health literacy is negatively related to both information overload and information avoidance. The paper enhances both theoretical and empirical understanding of the effects of individuals’ health literacy, information overload and information avoidance on their shared health decision making behaviour. The results indicate that sufficient health literacy enables individuals to engage in their health decision making process and sharing their concerns with their physicians. However, information overload and information avoidance trigger negative effects which lead to individuals less involved in shared health decision making. Our results advocate more efforts to improve individual health literary as the means to mitigate the negative effects of information overload and information avoidance towards shared health decision making.
研究了信息回避、信息超载、健康素养对个体共享健康决策的影响。基于良好的理论背景,提出了一个研究模型。155名受访者的数据是通过在线调查收集的。采用偏最小二乘结构方程模型(PLS-SEM)对数据进行分析。研究结果表明,信息超载和信息回避对个人的共同健康决策行为都有负面影响,而健康文学则有积极影响。我们还发现信息回避对信息回避有正向影响。此外,健康素养与信息超载和信息回避均呈负相关。本文加强了对个人健康素养、信息超载和信息回避对其共同健康决策行为影响的理论和实证理解。结果表明,足够的健康素养使个人能够参与他们的健康决策过程,并与他们的医生分享他们的担忧。然而,信息超载和信息回避会引发负面影响,导致个人较少参与共同健康决策。我们的研究结果提倡更多的努力来改善个人健康文献,作为减轻信息过载和信息回避对共同健康决策的负面影响的手段。

This study aimed to understand the role of information in the domains of contemplation, spirituality, and meaning and purpose. These domains can be a significant aspect of people’s lives and rich in information phenomena. We used narrative analysis, specifically the analysis of online videos in which people were interviewed about their lives after taking residence at a contemplative spiritual retreat centre. We interpreted the interviews through a lens of meaning-making and used a context-centric model to identify the information phenomena at a contemplative spiritual retreat. The findings: (1) Support prior research, which has identified that people engage with spiritual information as a result of a change in worldview, significant events, mystical glimpses, and to gain spiritual knowledge; (2) Deliver an account of the sources and kinds of spiritual information at a contemplative spiritual retreat centre; (3) Provide insights into how people interact with spiritual information during a contemplative spiritual retreat; (4) Suggest that residents at a contemplative spiritual retreat centre seek spiritual information primarily for affective outcomes. We demonstrated meaning-making as a helpful lens to interpret information interactions in the domains of contemplation, spirituality, meaning and purpose, and value in life.
本研究旨在了解信息在沉思、灵性、意义和目的等领域中的作用。这些领域可以是人们生活的一个重要方面和信息丰富的现象。我们使用了叙事分析,特别是对在线视频的分析,在这些视频中,人们被采访了他们在冥想精神静修中心居住后的生活。我们通过意义建构的视角来解读访谈,并使用以情境为中心的模型来识别冥想精神静修中的信息现象。研究发现:(1)支持了先前的研究,即人们参与精神信息是由于世界观的改变、重大事件、神秘的瞥见和获得精神知识;(2)在一个冥想的精神静修中心,讲述精神信息的来源和种类;(3)提供关于人们在冥想的精神静修中如何与精神信息互动的见解;(4)建议静修中心的居民主要是为了情感结果而寻求精神信息。我们展示了意义创造作为一个有用的镜头来解释沉思、灵性、意义和目的以及生活价值等领域的信息互动。

As an essential part of the human experience with numerous social benefits, serious leisure is the phenomenon that has received attention in information behaviour research. Our study aims to contribute to this field by exploring board gamers’ communities’ information practices on social media sites. In our research, we adopted collectivist approaches, and the empirical part of the study was conducted as a quantitative content analysis. We examined the three most active board game Facebook groups, one for each language: English, French and Polish. The final dataset included N=764 posts. Each post from the sample was described with 47 variables, 23 of which were based upon the codebook of question topics. The information needs expressed in the form of the online questions were in overwhelming part related to the purchase intentions, less frequently concerned tactic knowledge. The distribution of replies between topics and groups in a different language showed visible differences between each group. Although this type of hobby includes both collectors’ and practitioners’ practices, the information presented in online discourse is dominated by those specific to collectors. Both information-seeking and sharing activities proved that board gamers’ online communities form a very information-rich social world.
严肃休闲作为人类体验的重要组成部分,具有众多的社会效益,是信息行为研究中备受关注的现象。我们的研究旨在通过探索棋盘游戏玩家社区在社交媒体网站上的信息实践,为这一领域做出贡献。在我们的研究中,我们采用了集体主义的方法,研究的实证部分作为定量的内容分析进行。我们调查了三个最活跃的桌面游戏Facebook群组,分别代表英语、法语和波兰语。最终的数据集包括N=764个帖子。样本中的每个帖子都用47个变量来描述,其中23个变量基于问题主题的代码本。以在线问题形式表达的信息需求绝大部分与购买意向相关,较少涉及策略知识。不同语言的主题和群组之间的回复分布显示出各组之间的明显差异。尽管这种类型的爱好包括收藏家和实践者的实践,但在线话语中呈现的信息主要是收藏家特有的信息。无论是信息搜索还是信息分享,都证明了棋类游戏玩家的网络社区是一个信息非常丰富的社交世界。

We examined the three most active board game Facebook groups, one for each language: English, French and Polish. The final dataset included N=764 posts. Each post from the sample was described with 47 variables, 23 of which were based upon the codebook of question topics. The information needs expressed in the form of the online questions were in overwhelming part related to the purchase intentions, less frequently concerned tactic knowledge. The distribution of replies between topics and groups in a different language showed visible differences between each group. Although this type of hobby includes both collectors’ and practitioners’ practices, the information presented in online discourse is dominated by those specific to collectors. Both information-seeking and sharing activities proved that board gamers’ online communities form a very information-rich social world.","PeriodicalId":47431,"journal":{"name":"Information Research-An International Electronic Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83282105","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The transmission of memory after traumatic collective events (such as armed conflicts) always involves a discursive re-construction from a present viewpoint. In the case of new generations who have no direct memories of the conflict, a variety of contextual factors can interfere in the process of meaning-making. In this paper, we explore some of the discursive strategies employed by youngsters in order to fill in informational voids or to manage discourses that seem contradictory with their current context or pre-established belief systems when re-building narratives about violent conflicts in their community. Oral data collected from eight in-depth interviews with adolescents belonging to the first post-conflict generation in the Basque Country was analysed, combining theories from Memory Studies and theoretical-methodological approaches from Critical Discourse Analysis. Four types of rearrangement of information were identified during the interviews: all speakers drew on contextual information and pre-established mental models in order to fill in informational gaps, even if the resulting narratives sometimes altered the original meaning. Evidence suggests that remembering is a discursive practice strongly influenced by the current context and situation of the speaker, which would offer an explanation as to why collective memory changes with each generation.
创伤性集体事件(如武装冲突)后的记忆传递总是涉及从当前观点出发的话语重建。对于那些对冲突没有直接记忆的新一代来说,各种各样的语境因素可能会干扰意义的形成过程。在本文中,我们探讨了青少年在重建社区暴力冲突叙事时所采用的一些话语策略,以填补信息空白或管理似乎与他们当前背景或预先建立的信仰体系相矛盾的话语。结合记忆研究的理论和批评话语分析的理论方法,研究人员对巴斯克地区冲突后第一代青少年进行了八次深度访谈,收集了口头数据。在访谈中发现了四种类型的信息重排:所有说话者都利用语境信息和预先建立的心理模型来填补信息空白,即使最终的叙述有时会改变原来的意思。有证据表明,记忆是一种话语实践,受说话人当前的语境和处境的强烈影响,这就解释了为什么集体记忆会随着每一代人的变化而变化。

The aim of the paper is to investigate whether the personality trait negative emotionality and sense of coherence influence emotionally motivated information avoidance, i.e., avoidance of negative information that potentially evoke anxiety or worry. Data from 412 respondents was collected in a survey which measured negative emotionality, sense of coherence and information avoidance. A conceptual model is proposed, and structural equation modelling (SEM) was applied to analyse the data. Negative emotionality was found to influence information avoidance not only directly, but also indirectly through the manageability dimension of sense of coherence. In other words, manageability mediates the relationship between negative emotionality and information avoidance. The study contributes by showing that personal inclinations impact emotionally motivated information avoidance across contexts.
本研究旨在探讨人格特质负面情绪和连贯性是否影响情绪动机信息回避,即回避可能引起焦虑或担忧的负面信息。这项调查收集了412名受访者的数据,测量了他们的消极情绪、连贯感和信息回避。提出了一个概念模型,并应用结构方程模型(SEM)对数据进行了分析。研究发现,消极情绪不仅直接影响信息回避,而且通过连贯感的可管理性维度间接影响信息回避。换句话说,可管理性调节了消极情绪和信息回避之间的关系。该研究表明,个人倾向会影响情绪动机下的信息回避。
