Decision making: Assessment -> Planning -> Action -> Evaluation | |||
Question: how do people feel ''after'' disclosure? (Evaluation) Hypothesis is that people don't get that far when playing around in social nets. | |||
The authors study how the number and structure of options affect individuals' attitudes towards situations and how satisfied they are with their decisions. | |||
There's a point where people experience a "too much choice" effect and don't feel as comfortable with their choices because there were too many options. | |||
The authors: | |||
# made a list of types of info to share (picture, address, name, friend count, etc) | |||
# grouped them by sensitivity type. | |||
# studied differences with two variables: | |||
#* number of groups (size one groups and size n/2 groups) | |||
#* composition of groups (homogeneous/same type of data vs heterogeneous/mixed data types in groups) | |||
Hypothesis was that: | |||
# more options (more groups) would lead to less satisfaction | |||
# heterogeneous grouping (different types of things together) would lead to less satisfaction | |||
They conducted a survey to measure satisfaction after users were presented with these interfaces. | |||
Turns out hypothesis 1 was confirmed (more options = less satisfaction) but hypothesis 2 was disproved (homogeneous groups were no better than heterogeneous groups). | |||
According to Stefan: This suggests that clinical depression in industrialized society is linked to "too much choice". | |||
