Paper Abstract:
|
In this paper, evaluation of human anxiety on the Internet has been carried out. The hypothesis of the research is that
human computer interaction techniques could be used for measuring and monitoring human anxiety on the Internet. The
rigorous review findings indicated that many of the current challenges such as the study of human anxiety on the Internet
have not been addressed. Nevertheless, the literature review shows that very limited research has been conducted to
systematically and extensively to measure and observe human anxiety on the Internet. In addition, a simple usability
study of the participants through the set of questionnaires has been conducted. A total of ten participants (100% male,
mean age 25) participated in the research session. Participants completed two sets of Questionnaires (QS1, QS2) for
measuring anxiety and learning behaviors and one set of questionnaire for Internet Addiction Test (IAT). Result shows
various anxieties of using the contents on the Internet among the participants. Furthermore, future work would comprise
building technological tools for abating human anxiety using novel human-computer interaction techniques. |
