The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of goal orientation and alternative human computer interaction modalities on user engagement. Performance-oriented and learning- oriented individuals exhibit motivational differences. Learning-oriented individuals focus on progress and mastery, whereas performance-oriented individuals focus on ability. Twenty-five participants participated in the study. They were asked to accomplish the same task with three alternative modalities of interaction, namely mouse, eye tracker and Microsoft Kinect V2. The participants also filled in a goal orientation questionnaire and user engagement questionnaire. The findings revealed that different modalities resulted in different task completion times. The completion time was then used as a factor for the analysis of the efficiency of the interaction. Further analyses showed significant interactions among the goal orientation of the participants, their engagement scores and the interaction modalities.

A usability evaluation framework and a case study on a supplier portal system Babayiğit, Elif Fatma; Şen, Tayyar; Department of Industrial Engineering (2003) The goal of this thesis is to provide a usability evaluation framework in the area of e-procurement technologies and a case study on this base. A survey of the concepts of human computer interaction, usability and usability evaluation techniques is carried out. Additionally current e-procurement technologies are explored and specifically a Company̕s Supplier Portal System which was employed in year 2003, as an e-procurement technology for the procurement of direct goods, is taken into consideration. Pointin...
Effect of constructed web-supported instruction on achievement related to educational statistics Emmungil, Levent; Geban, Ömer (2010-10-31) The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of web supported statistics education environment for graduate level students. The intention of the study was to construct a web support system for traditionally offered Educational Statistics course in order to decrease both instructor and students efforts to communicate, present, reach and use the resources. The subjects of the study were 21 graduate students of Educational Statistics course offered. None of the subjects was offered an on-line course ...
Effects of Way Finding Affordances on Usability of Virtual World Environments in Terms of Users’ Satisfaction, Performance, and Mental Workload: Examination by Eye-Tracking and fNIR Cansız, Yaver; Tokel, Saniye Tuğba (null; 2012-06-29) This study aims to test the effects of different way finding affordances on usability of METU virtual campus built in Second Life in terms of users’ satisfaction, performance, and mental workload. Thirty-six participants were randomly assigned to one of the five groups: Map, signboard, voice, agent, and control group. Except the control group, the participants were given navigational tasks in virtual campus. In order to determine the areas which participants paid attention most, eye movements of the partici...
Reactions to performance feedback and source : the moderating effect of individualism/ collectivism and power distance Solmazer, Gaye; Bilgiç, Reyhan; Toker, Yonca; Department of Psychology (2013) The major aim of the current study was to examine the moderating effects of collectivism and power distance cultural orientations-assessed at the individual level- on the relationship between feedback source and reactions to performance feedback, operationalized as perceived accuracy, perceived usefulness, and affective reactions. In the present study, focal reactions were those which came from observers of a third party’s performance. Student participants took part in a 2 (feedback sign) X 3 (feedback sour...
Examining computer supported collaborative problem solving processes using the dual-eye tracking paradigm Uzunosmanoğlu, Selin Deniz; Çakır, Murat Perit; Department of Information Systems (2013) The aim of this study is to examine the computer supported collaborative problem solving processes. This study tries to identify which situations the participants' eye movements, and eye gazes overlap, and how the percentage of this overlap contribute to the collaborative problem solving process. Hypothesis of this study is that pairs whose eye movements overlap are more successful in collaboration than others. This study was conducted with 18 students from the Middle East Technical University. Participants...
