False certainty as an unwanted side effect of knowledge acquisition in computer-based online search and content learning
Toward learning progression analytics — Developing learning environments for the automated analysis of learning using evidence centered design
National educational standards stress the importance of science and mathematics learning for today’s students. However, across disciplines, students frequently struggle to meet learning goals about core concepts like energy. Digital learning environments enhanced with artificial intelligence hold the promise to address this issue by providing individualized instruction and support for students at scale. Scaffolding and feedback, for example, are …
The impact of a physician’s recommendation and gender on informed decision making
OBJECTIVE: This study examined the influence of physicians' recommendations and gender on the decision-making process in a preference-sensitive situation. METHODS: N = 201 participants were put in a hypothetical scenario in which they suffered from a rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). They received general information on two equally successful treatment options for this injury (surgery vs physiotherapy) and answered questions regard…
Decision aids to prepare patients for shared decision making
Objective To participate in shared decision making (SDM), patients need to understand their options and develop trust in their own decision‐making abilities. Two experiments investigated the potential of decision aids (DAs) in preparing patients for SDM by raising awareness of preference‐sensitivity (Study 1) and showing possible personal motives for decision making (Study 2) in addition to providing information about the treatment options. Metho…
Digital Learning Environments in Higher Education
Research on digital learning environments has traditionally applied either an individual perspective or a social perspective to learning. Based on a literature review, we examined to what extent individual or social perspectives determined the learning outcome variables that researchers have used as measurements in existing studies. We analyzed prototypical approaches to operationalize learning settings (individual vs. social) published in peer-r…
Linguistic evidence of in-group bias in English and Spanish Wikipedia articles about international conflicts
Research is Tentative, but That’s Okay
Prior research from the field of science communication shows that, upon reading journalistic articles about novel scientific findings, readers who recognize the tentative nature of the findings rate the journalistic article that reports these findings as less credible. Apparently, readers’ appraisal is influenced by misconceptions about the relationship of text credibility and the tentativeness of research findings. In four experimental studies (…
Therapeutic Touch in Exercise Videos
From a psychological health perspective, being physically touched is highly relevant throughout people's lives. Touch plays an important role in many contexts, such as in instructing movement exercises. Exercise videos have become a well-accepted format to support therapists in instructing movement exercises. In the study presented here we examined the impact of the use of therapeutic touch in exercise videos on people's evaluation of physiothera…
Collective Knowledge Construction
In this chapter, we present cognitive and sociocultural approaches as two research traditions that represent the individual and the social sides of collective knowledge construction. We discuss theories from sociology, which build a conceptual background for sociocultural considerations and describe the nature of emergent social processes. We also present a model that brings together cognitive, sociocultural, and sociological considerations. Fina…
Emotional Content in Wikipedia Articles on Negative Man-Made and Nature-Made Events
Wikipedia emphasizes the objectivity of content. Yet, Wikipedia articles also deal with negative events that potentially elicit intense emotions. Undesirable outcomes (e.g., earthquakes) are known to elicit sadness, while undesirable outcomes caused by others’ actions (e.g., terrorist attacks) are known to elicit anger. Internet users’ emotional responses are likely to end up in Wikipedia articles on those events as characteristics of Internet us…
The impact of physicians' communication styles on evaluation of physicians and information processing
OBJECTIVE: This study aimed at examining the impact of different types of physicians' communication styles on people's subsequent evaluation of physician attributes as well as on their information processing, attitude and decision making. METHOD: In a between-group experiment, 80 participants watched one of three videos in which a gynaecologist displayed a particular communication style in a consultation situation on contraception with an intraut…
Processing the Scientific Tentativeness of Medical Research
When people read medical research news on the Internet, they are confronted not only with information from the article itself but often also with comments written by other users about the article. Moreover, Internet users have the opportunity to write their own comments. In an experimental study we found that the actual scientific tentativeness of the research findings reported in a health news article as well as the empirical and the anecdotal e…
How Laypeople Understand the Tentativeness of Medical Research News in the Media
Medical research findings are often tentative, and people should be able to perceive this. However, the psychological processes underlying this ability are largely unclear. In a laboratory experiment, we found that the following factors had an impact on perception of tentativeness of research findings reported in a newspaper article: (a) the framing of findings, (b) emphasis on the limited reliability of the findings in the article, (c) people’s …
The Effects of Tv and Film Exposure on Knowledge About and Attitudes Toward Mental Disorders
Two empirical studies examined whether the portrayal of mental disorders on television and in films has an effect on people's knowledge about and attitudes toward the mentally ill. Study 1 found that the more often people watched television, the poorer their knowledge was about schizophrenia and obsessive‐compulsive disorder. This finding did not apply to major depression. Study 2 demonstrated that people who watched a documentary film acquired m…
Exchange of Complementary and Alternative Medical Knowledge in Sport-Related Internet Fora
This research note provides an explorative analysis of sport-related knowledge exchange about Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) on the Internet. Data are taken from a qualitative content analysis of the largest German-speaking Internet sport portal. Knowledge exchange about CAM in these Internet fora is characterized by the following phenomena: Users expected CAM to improve their performance and discussed a great variety of treatments …
The Impact of Cognitive Anchors on Information-Sharing Behavior
In computer-supported information exchange, people frequently tend to withhold their own information and free-ride on the others' contributions. In doing so, they save costs (time and effort) and maximize their own benefit. However, if everyone behaved in this way, there would be no information sharing at all. In this experiment, we tested if the presentation of a random number could serve as a cognitive anchor and influence the amount of shared …
A systems theoretical approach to online knowledge building
Visualizing Co-Evolution of Individual and Collective Knowledge
This paper describes how processes of knowledge building with wikis may be visualized, citing the user-generated online encyclopedia Wikipedia as an example. The underlying theoretical basis is a framework for collaborative knowledge building with wikis that describes knowledge building as a co-evolution of individual and collective knowledge. These co-evolutionary processes may be visualized graphically, applying methods from social network anal…
Visualization of Group Members' Participation
Previous research has shown that people involved in a computer-mediated information-exchange situation are strongly influenced by the behavior of other participants. In order to avoid being exploited by the other group members, people use the current cooperation level of the rest of the group as an orientation for their own willingness to cooperate. In a highly cooperative group, this leads to a positive development. However, the question arises …
Implicit and explicit dialogue structuring in virtual learning groups
Background. The promotion of virtual learning groups by instructional means is gaining importance with the spread of telematic learning. In virtual learning groups, students discuss certain learning materials or cooperate in problem solving by means of computer-mediated communication. Due to the specific features of electronic communication, supportive means appear to be necessary for such learning situations. Aims. The investigation focuses on t…
