We are Happy to Announce the Publication of
Volume 7 Issue 1 of AIS Transactions on Human-Computer Interaction
(http://aisel.aisnet.org/thci/vol7/iss1/)
As the dawn of spring seems to have finally arrived in the North East US, the dawn of AIS THCI's 7th year has also arrived. Also, we are pleased to announce the dawn of a new addition to our SE board, Torkil Clemmensen of Copenhagen Business School. Torkil's HCI research interests include design psychology, human work interaction design, and cultural usability and user experience. Torkil served as a guest SE for THCI in the past and we're happy to have Torkil on board!
THCI is one of the journals in the AIS (Association for Information Systems) e-library at 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. And, as always, we are happy to announce that we have published the journal on time for all 25 issues.
You are welcome to download the papers from this issue and other issues by visiting the AIS E-Library.

"Supporting Collaborative Reflection at Work: A Socio-Technical Analysis"
by
Michael Prilla of Ruhr University of Bochum, NRW, Germany
Abstract:
This study presents an analysis of a tool that supports collaborative reflection at work. So far, research has focused on individual reflection or reflection in an educational context. Therefore, little is known about designing support for collaborative reflection at work. In four studies that use an application for collaborative reflection support, built based on prior empirical work, the paper presents an analysis of the ways workers used the tool for collaborative reflection. The analysis was based on log data and material from interviews and observations. The results show that there were different ways in which people used the application and that the impact of using it differed among groups. Besides positive effects, open issues in reflection support emerged. The paper presents insights on and design challenges for collaborative reflection support and potential solutions for these challenges. The findings are related to a model of collaborative reflection support and they emphasize that such support needs to be understood as socio-technical in nature if it is to succeed in practice. Finally, the study proposes designs for further work on tools supporting collaborative reflection.
"Complacency and Intentionality in IT Use and Continuance"
by
Emre Yetgin, Matthew Jensen, and Teresa Shaft, all from the University of Oklahoma
Abstract:
Decision makers' initial and continued use of information technology has traditionally been viewed as a mindful and intentional behavior. However, when a decision aid makes mostly correct recommendations, its users may become complacent. That is, users may accept recommendations without mindfully considering the recommendations or involvement with the aid. As such, they may be more likely to accept inaccurate recommendations. We draw on dual-processing theory to describe why users might behave in a mindless and complacent rather than mindful manner when using a decision aid. In our experimental investigation, we manipulated the accuracy of the recommendations provided by a decision aid and observe users' performance on a complex decision task. Using the decision aid, participants completed five task trials. To assess complacency and intentionality, we compared subjective (i.e., self-report) and objective (i.e., gaze data via an eye tracker) use measures. Our analysis and comparison of the subjective and objective responses indicate that, contrary to widespread theorizing, decision aid usage and continuance appear to be less intentional than commonly believed. Further, we found that a decision aid's users can be vulnerable to complacency even when recommendations are known to be inaccurate. Based on the findings of our study, we offer theoretical and practical implications regarding complacency and intentionality in technology use.

Call for Papers
==================
THCI is a high-quality peer-reviewed international scholarly journal on Human-Computer Interaction. As an AIS journal, THCI is oriented to the Information Systems community, emphasizing applications in business, managerial, organizational, and cultural contexts. However, it is open to all related communities that share intellectual interests in HCI phenomena and issues. The editorial objective is to enhance and communicate knowledge about the interplay among humans, information, technologies, and tasks in order to guide the development and use of human-centered Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) and services for individuals, groups, organizations, and communities.
Topics of interest to THCI include but are not limited to the following:
* The behavioral, cognitive, motivational and affective aspects of human and technology interaction
* User task analysis and modeling; fit between representations and task types
* Digital documents/genres; human information seeking and web navigation behaviors; human information interaction; information visualization
* Social media; social computing; virtual communities
* Behavioral information security and information assurance; privacy and trust in human technology interaction
* User interface design and evaluation for various applications in business, managerial, organizational, educational, social, cultural, non-work, and other domains
* Integrated and/or innovative approaches, guidelines, and standards 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 sponsor of THCI.
