Summary

This summary is machine-generated.

This study identifies eleven "communal user needs" across ten technology domains, revealing shared user requirements for Quality of Experience (QoE). These findings enable a universal QoE model adaptable to evolving intelligent systems.

Area Of Science

  • Human-Computer Interaction
  • Information Systems
  • User Experience Research

Background

  • Intelligent systems necessitate understanding Quality of Experience (QoE) for user satisfaction.
  • Current QoE models rely on objective metrics and are domain-specific, lacking universality.
  • Subjective user needs are crucial but inconsistently measured across technologies.

Purpose Of The Study

  • To identify common user needs across diverse technological domains.
  • To establish a foundation for a universal Quality of Experience (QoE) model.
  • To address the limitations of current domain-specific QoE evaluation methods.

Main Methods

  • Utilized BERTopic and thematic analysis on user reviews from ten technological domains.
  • Identified eleven common dimensions termed "communal user needs" by analyzing shared patterns.
  • Validated inter-rater reliability (Krippendorff's α = 0.805) with three independent researchers.

Main Results

  • Eleven "communal user needs" were defined, demonstrating abstract-level alignment despite varied individual expressions.
  • A consistent pattern in the appearance of user needs across domains suggests potential for a universal QoE model.
  • The identified communal user needs provide a reliable basis for QoE measurement.

Conclusions

  • User needs, though diverse, converge into common dimensions across different technologies.
  • A universal QoE model can be developed by incorporating the dynamic nature of these communal user needs.
  • The proposed methodology offers a robust tool for evaluating QoE in the rapidly evolving technology market.

Design Consideration 01:22

Designing a structure involves a series of considerations, primarily the material's ultimate strength, calculated through tests that measure changes under increased force until the material reaches its breaking point or limit. The ultimate load, where the material breaks, is divided by its original cross-sectional area, resulting in the ultimate normal stress or strength. The ultimate shearing stress is another significant factor taken into account.
The factor of safety is another key...

Self-Evaluation Maintenance Model 01:29

281

The Self-Evaluation Maintenance (SEM) model offers a psychological framework to understand how individuals’ self-esteem is influenced by the achievements of others, particularly those with whom they share close personal bonds. The SEM model operates when personal rather than social identity guides individuals. Central to this model is the notion that individuals have an inherent desire to preserve a favorable self-image, which is continuously shaped by interpersonal comparisons and...

Quality Assurance 01:19

Quality assurance is the overarching term used to describe the activities employed to ensure the proper performance of a system. These activities can be classified into three categories: quality control, quality assessment, and internal corrective measures. Typically, these activities work cyclically: quality control is performed before and during the analysis, while quality assessment occurs during and after the investigation. Internal corrective measures are implemented based on the findings...

Social psychologists have documented that feeling good about ourselves and maintaining positive self-esteem is a powerful motivator of human behavior (Tavris & Aronson, 2008). In the United States, members of the predominant culture typically think very highly of themselves and view themselves as good people who are above average on many desirable traits (Ehrlinger, Gilovich, & Ross, 2005). Often, our behavior, attitudes, and beliefs are affected when we experience a threat to our...

Social Foundations of Self III: Self-Evaluation 01:30

Self-evaluation is the process by which individuals assess their abilities, behaviors, and characteristics based on feedback from others. Charles H. Cooley observed that a person’s self-perception is primarily influenced by how others see and judge them. He suggested that individuals form their identities based on their interpretations of others' reactions. As a result, social interactions play a crucial role in shaping self-esteem and personal identity. These external evaluations often...

Aligning actions are communicative strategies individuals employ to maintain social harmony and preserve personal identity in the face of potential disruptions to social norms. These actions are particularly important in managing social impressions when one's behavior might be seen as inappropriate, incompetent, or morally questionable.Types of Aligning ActionsThe three principal types of aligning actions are disclaimers, accounts, and apologies.DisclaimersDisclaimers are preventive; they are...
