Comparing Expert, Quasi-Expert, and Novice Evaluations of Award-Winning Design Products Using the Consensual Assessment Technique
The consensus-based assessment has long been a prevalent methodology employed in “panel crit” settings in design education and professional design awards. Acknowledging the subjective nature of design evaluation and its importance to the design development process, we report two studies investigating the effect of three levels of design expertise (expert, quasi-expert, and novice) on the evaluation of award-winning lamp designs using the consensu…
Using Virtual Reality to Systematically Examine Impacts of Noise and Visual Clutter on Message Elaboration and Cognitive Capacity
This study used virtual reality to examine how environmental attributes interact with health communication to influence psychiatric help-seeking behavior, using the example of a subway station. We used a 2 × 2 factorial design crossing two noise conditions (high noise [75 dB] or low noise [30 dB]) and two visual clutter conditions (low clutter [a tidy trash can and orderly construction materials] or high clutter [scattered trash and construction …
Vacant lot remediation and firearm violence – A meta-analysis and benefit-to-cost evaluation
Our objectives were to synthesize the early evidence regarding the effect of city-wide vacant-lot remediation programs on firearm violence and to determine what proportion of remediation costs are recovered from reducing firearm violence. Building on our scoping review, we conducted a meta-analysis of before-and-after studies with control groups. We then assumed three hypothetical cities of small, medium, and large populations and performed a pro…
The Relationship of Neighborhood Walking Behavior to Duration of Aging in Place—A Retrospective Cohort Study
The benefits of physical activity on health are widely known. However, the impact of physical activity on aging-in-place at home for older adults is unclear. Focusing on older adults who recently moved from home to a senior-living facility, this research explored the impact of walking on the ability to age-in-place. Data were collected through a questionnaire survey completed by residents in 12 assisted-living facilities in Houston, Texas. Contro…
Psychological and social impacts of high-rise buildings
Rapid global urbanization has led to a construction boom in high-rise buildings, and this trend seems unlikely to change in the foreseeable future. But what are the social, psychological, and behavioral effects of living and working in high-rise environments? Researchers have only just begun to gather systematic empirical data about the positive and negative effects of high-rises for their human occupants. Many of the existing studies are limited…
