Fleming, Tammy E., Morrissey, Stephen J. and Kinghorn, Rhonda A. (1992): Subjects in Human Factors: Who Should They Be?. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors Society 36th Annual Meeting 1992. pp. 1241-1243.

“The already diverse workforce in America is expected to diversify at an even greater rate over the next decade. Projected workforce changes include those of age, gender, and race. The recently passed Americans with Disabilities Act also ensures that a growing number of persons with diverse physical needs will enter the workforce. Data from Moroney and Reising (1992) provide some clear indications of the types of subjects currently used in human factors experiments. Not surprisingly, these subjects represent a range of persons that is much less narrow than the range represented in the current and projected workforce. If not corrected, the differences between human factors subjects and those of the American workforce will increase at a magnified rate. To ensure that the results produced from human factors experiments are useful and valid, researchers should first analyze the diverse characteristics of their intended users and select subjects who possess these characteristics.”

Wheeler, William A. and Fleming, Tammy E. (1991): Understanding What We Think We Know: The Role of Content Analysis in T&E. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors Society 35th Annual Meeting 1991. pp. 1280-1283.

“Though we are quite clever in developed ways to measure and express system performance, including human system performance, we frequently, stop short of understanding what our results mean. One reason for this is that we do not have cost effective and efficient ways to use the richness of data available in written or verbal information. Techniques of protocol and content analysis provide ways to use such data, but are usually too expensive and time consuming to use in applied settings. This paper explores the possibility of human factors specialists using commonly available personal computers and software in ways that allow practical analysis of verbal and written material as part of a T&E effort.”
