LaLomia, Mary J. and Sidowski, Joseph B. (1993): Measurements of Computer Anxiety: A Review. In International Journal of Human-Computer Interaction, 5 (3) pp. 239-266.

“The objective of this article is to present a review and discussion of scales and questionnaires developed to assess computer anxiety. Included are descriptions of the scales, scale development procedures, and reliability and validity testing. Research questions generated and examined with the scales are also included. Finally, problems with reliability and validity testing are presented along with an assessment of future directions of computer anxiety research.”

LaLomia, Mary J., Coovert, Michael D. and Salas, Eduardo (1992): Problem-Solving Performance as a Function of Problem Type, Number Progression, and Memory Load. In Behaviour and Information Technology, 11 (5) pp. 268-280.

“Problem-solving performance with tabular and graphical computer displays was examined as problem type, number progression, and memory capacity were systematically manipulated. Participants used tables and line graphs that depicted linear or multilinear number progressions to solve location, interpolation, trend analysis, and forecasting problems. Experiment 1, in which the displayed information was continuously available, indicated that participants' performance for identifying specific values was better with tables than with graphs. For trend analysis and interpolation problems graphs with multilinear data facilitated performance. While the forecasting tasks did not show any systematic effect of the factors. In Experiment 2, the displayed information was not continuously available, participants performed best with the graphical displays for most conditions. These results are discussed in terms of designing computer information displays.”

LaLomia, Mary J. and Sidowski, Joseph B. (1991): Measurements of Computer Attitudes: A Review. In International Journal of Human-Computer Interaction, 3 (2) pp. 171-197.

“The objective of this article is to present a review and discussion of scales and questionnaires developed to assess attitudes towards computers. Each review includes descriptions of the scale, scale development procedures, and reliability and validity testing. Also, general problems associated with the reliability and validity testing of the scales are presented along with an assessment of future directions of computer attitude research.”

LaLomia, Mary J. and Cohen, Karen C. (1991): Gesture Consistency for Text, Spreadsheet, Graphic and Form Fill Editing. In ACM SIGCHI Bulletin, 23 (4) pp. 40-41.

“Computer systems that simulate a paper and pen environment have been the focus of considerable development activity. One concern generated from this activity is whether a default set of hand-drawn gestures should be provided to the users. This paper examined whether individuals produced similar gestures for 32 editing functions across four application domains; text, spreadsheet, graphic, and form fill. The individuals (half computer novices and half computer-experienced) indicated gestures for each of the editing functions using each application domain. The results indicated that the consistency of hand-drawn gestures was not affected by the participant's computer experience, by the size and shape of the information to be modified or the application domain.”

LaLomia, Mary J. and Sidowski, Joseph B. (1990): Measurements of Computer Satisfaction, Literacy, and Aptitudes: A Review. In International Journal of Human-Computer Interaction, 2 (3) pp. 231-253.

“This paper presents a review and discussion of scales and questionnaires developed to assess various user satisfaction attitudes towards computers and computer literacy, skills, and aptitudes. The scales are grouped into two general areas: user satisfaction with computer systems, and computer literacy and aptitude. The reviews include descriptions of each scale, scale development procedures, and reliability and validity testing. Also included are presentations of the research questions examined through the use of particular scales. A summary discussion compares reliability and validity testing on the various scales within each of the two areas of computer assessment. Finally, general problems associated with the reliability and validity testing of the reviewed computer assessment scales are discussed along with an assessment of future directions of computer satisfaction, literacy, aptitude, and skills research.”

“The goal of this research was to provide a set of criteria for the effective use of color on the IBM 5153 Color Display. Available guidelines provide direction but not the detail required for application programmers. This study examined character legibility and subjective preference for color combinations in text in an application program. The effectiveness of color combinations was defined as a joint function of response time and subjective rating. The graphs of foreground/background color relationships show the observers' performance as a function of their preference. The results indicated the flexibility of black or blue backgrounds. The findings are discussed with respect to principles of human perception.”
