Call for Papers
17th Americas Conference on Information Systems
August 4-7, 2011, Detroit, MI, USA

*Track: HUMAN COMPUTER INTERACTION*
*Mini Track Title: NEGATIVE COGNITIONS ABOUT INFORMATION SYSTEMS*
**
DESCRIPTION
There is an increasingly persistent dichotomy in the way that emerging Information Systems (IS)-enabled patterns for work and collaboration are affecting IS users. On the one hand, they enable vast improvements in processes and decisions. On the other, they lead to negative cognitions and outcomes such as stress, frustrations and information overload. There has been a recent surge of interest in negative cognitions associated with using IS, related, for example, to technostress (Tarafdar et al forthcoming, Ragu-Nathan et al 2008), intrusiveness and deceptiveness (Cenfetelli and Schwarz, forthcoming), credibility and deception (Jensen, Lowry, et al. 2010), addiction to technology use (Turel et al. forthcoming), and distrust (Dimoka 2010). These studies explore various facets of detrimental conditions that users of IS experience, conditions that, given the ubiquity of IS use, are potentially pervasive.
The object of this mini-track is to develop theoretical insight and understanding on HCI topics
and issues that address this "troubling" side of IS. Submissions addressing all aspects of this topic are welcome. We welcome conceptual, theoretical or empirical research papers. We particularly welcome papers that apply theories and perspectives from different disciplines (e.g. theories of stress from the psychology literature, information overload and interruption from information science, and work-life balance from industrial management) to examine various aspects of this phenomenon.**
*Suggested Topics:*
Suggested topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
1. Implications for design of systems and interfaces regarding:
Conceptualizations of troubling or negative interactions between IS and users, such as interruptions, information overload, constant connectivity to work related information processing, addiction to IS use, and difficulties in learning how to use constantly changing technologies and applications.
2. Implications for design of systems and interfaces regarding:
Outcomes from the above interactions such as stress, difficulty in concentrating, multitasking,
user dissatisfaction, effects on productivity and performance, disruption of work life balance, over-dependence on IS.
3. Any other HCI topics related to negative affective responses and the cause and effect relationships between cues embedded in system designs and/or methods that can mitigate or exacerbate those negative responses.
