    The Influence of Worrying on User Experience
    (Mensch und Computer 2021 - Tagungsband, 2021) Niemeier, David C.; Hirschfeld, Gerrit; Thielsch, Meinald T.
    The vast majority of the German population uses the internet on a regular basis. Past research has shown that depressiveness has a negative influence on the user experience of websites, which in turn is an important predictor for the success of web content. The present study investigates the influence ofworrying and intolerance of uncertainty on web users’ experience. As a secondary analysis of a longitudinal online study including 395 participants, this study includes participants’ self-assessed worrying (PSWQ-d) and intolerance of uncertainty (IU-18) as well as evaluation of websites they visited. Structural equation modelling was used to determine the relationship of worrying and intolerance of uncertainty with user experience. While worrying showed only small and with the exception of usability not-significant effects on content and aesthetics, intolerance of uncertainty surprisingly showed small and significant positive relationships with all facets of user experience. In contrast to our initial expectations, participants who worry more do not seem to face strong limitations in finding resources and information on the internet. Further research should instead focus on intolerance of uncertainty as a possible antecedent of positive user experience to enhance our understanding of the mechanisms leading to its positive relation with user experience.

    The next decade in accessibility research
    (i-com: Vol. 23, No. 2, 2024) Gerling, Kathrin; Rauschenberger, Maria; Tannert, Benjamin; Weber, Gerhard
    Accessibility research has matured over the last three decades and developed a better understanding of accessibility technologies, design and evaluation methods, systems and tools as well as empirical studies in accessibility. We envision how progress in new contexts over the next decade can be made to develop stronger links to other areas in Human-Centered Computing and address the research communities. A human-centered perspective on disability needs to develop from a medical model to a social model. New methods will utilize generative AI in design and development processes that address accessibility from the start of system design. We build on AI embedded into future design processes to address participation of small numbers of users better, and new technologies to allow for personalization of multi-modal interaction to improve verbal and non-verbal communication, making body-centric computing and natural interaction truly accessible.
