Betreff: [AISWorld] Volume 5 Issue 4 of AIS Transactions on
Human-Computer Interaction

Announcing the Publication of
Volume 5 Issue 4 of /AIS Transactions on Human-Computer Interaction/
(http://thci.aisnet.org)
Just in time for some exciting reading to bring in 2014, Volume 5, Issue
4 of /AIS/ /Transactions on Human-Computer Interaction/ is now available!
THCI is one of the journals in the AIS (Association for Information
Systems) e-library (*http://aisel.aisnet.org/thci*). To increase
awareness and readership, /THCI/ is still freely available to everyone
during its initial years of publishing. You can find information related
to all aspects of THCI at its website,
<http://aisel.aisnet.org/>including how to submit. We would like to
thank AIS <http://home.aisnet.org/>Council for its continued support of
the journal. We are also pleased to announce that we have published the
journal on time for all 20 issues.

In this issue
============
This issue has a research article by Anne Massey, Vijay Khatri, and
Randall Minas, all from Indiana University.
"The Influence of Psychographic Beliefs on Website Usability Requirements"
This paper explores how both demographic and psychographic
characteristics -- e.g., personality, values, attitudes, and interests
-- influence usability requirements for utilitarian-focused customer
service websites. While ample research has explored the role of
demographics on usability, limited prior work focusing on the interplay
of demographics and psychographics has been reported in the literature.
The paper presents an interesting empirical study that has important
implication for website design. Here is the abstract:
Designing websites that are responsive to customer needs is a critical
prerequisite for the success of online services. To date, much research
has focused on understanding which design requirements can be
successfully applied to a website's design. However, there has been
limited research examining why some requirements may have more or less
importance to customers. In addition to demographic characteristics, we
propose that psychographic characteristics influence usability-related
requirements. To develop our research model and hypotheses, we draw from
usability literature and research in consumer behavior concerned with
customers' prevailing beliefs about technology. Conceptualizing customer
beliefs should not only help distinguish between positive and negative
processes but also help further investigate their consequences. To
explore the relationship between customer characteristics (i.e., gender
and technology beliefs) and usability requirements, we use a usability
procedure based on the Microsoft Usability Guidelines (MUG). MUG
identifies multiple design requirements that are expected to increase
the usability of sites. We present the results of our study involving
215 participants. Overall, our results suggest that negative beliefs may
play a larger role in influencing usability requirements than positive
beliefs. And, the results suggest that prior Web experience moderates
the relationship between beliefs and requirements.

or metrics for human centered analysis, design, construction,
evaluation, and use of interactive devices and information systems
* Information systems usability engineering; universal usability
* The impact of interfaces/information technology on people's
attitude, behavior, performance, perception, and productivity
* Implications and consequences of technological change on
individuals, groups, society, and socio-technical units
* Software learning and training issues such as perceptual, cognitive,
and motivational aspects of learning
* Gender and information technology
* The elderly, the young, and special needs populations for new
applications, modalities, and multimedia interaction
* Issues in HCI education
The language for the journal is English. The audience includes
international scholars and practitioners who conduct research on issues
related to the objectives of the journal. The publication frequency is
quarterly: 4 issues per year to be published in March, June, September,
and December. The AIS Special Interest Group on Human-Computer
Interaction (SIGHCI, http://sigs.aisnet.org/SIGHCI/) is the official
