TL;DR: This paper investigated whether computer-mediated communication enhances users' private self-awareness, while lowering their public selfawareness, and found that subjects using computer-mediation reported significantly higher levels of acute private self awareness, and marginally lower levels of public self awareness.

TL;DR: A transactional framework for studying the temporal aspects of computer-mediated interaction as it occurs in various computer-related settings is introduced and recommendations are given for using the framework to guide research, intervention, and further theory development.

TL;DR: This paper investigated how the exclusion of the contextual cues provided by face-to-face interaction influences individual judgments in computer mediated contexts and found that computer mediated communication is likely to diminish the effects of social pressures to conform to majority judgments.

TL;DR: The Computer Aversion Scale (CAVS) as mentioned in this paper is based on three expectancy categories (efficacy, outcome, and reinforcement expectations) derived from social learning theory and has been shown to predict poor performance on a computer-based test of cognitive abilities.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the effects of the computerized assessment format on MMPI responses, and discussed methodological considerations important in evaluating the sensitivity of personality inventories to different administration formats.

TL;DR: In this paper, the equivalence of the Microtest computer version of MMPI administration with traditional paper-pencil administration procedures was examined. But, post hoc evaluation of power indicates that conclusions regarding equivalency of the two administration formats must be tempered by the less than adequate statistical power for some of the analyses, particulary those associated with examination of test-retest correlation data.

TL;DR: In this paper, the degree of training effectiveness in most prior management training technologies is considered and it is suggested that training should not only focus on the specific content of managerial tasks (e.g., what managers should think or do in response to certain task or situational demands) but should also focus on structural components of managerial effectiveness.

TL;DR: In this article, a computer program designed to provide systematic desensitization is presented along with a brief description of the program and five subjects were followed for over eight months after successful completion of a program.

TL;DR: Perceptions uncovered suggest that designers may manipulate the large number of text format variables to produce an overall display that is systematically arranged in a logical and spacious way.

TL;DR: A representative sample of recent research on the uses of word processing in composition instruction and discusses some of the issues surrounding its adoption as a writing tool are described.

TL;DR: The model presented in this article identifies unique computer-based instructional strategies to improve both learning and cognition that have been empirically tested and shown to improve specific forms of knowledge acquisition and employment.

TL;DR: The third section of this paper identifies some human factors, characteristics, and concerns which will make educational software easier to use and thus result in more efficient learning.

TL;DR: A cognitive structuring intervention consisting of a videotaped introduction to Holland's model and a mastery test was presented to clients prior to the use of a computer-assisted career guidance system (DISCOVER) to enhance their ability to process information as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: The paper concludes with a discussion of the future research issues concerned with using knowledge mapping and task analysis vs. knowledge acquisition techniques.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of explaining the value of text review was studied, where students were randomly assigned to read a text passage displayed by computer with or without an explanation and in three presentation modes: required or optional review when answer to adjunct questions were incorrect or reading the text without questions.

TL;DR: This paper summarizes three research studies on text and screen density variables in a CBI lesson and indicates preference for formats that maintained a reasonable balance between the amount of text per screen and the number of lesson frames.

TL;DR: The Practitioners' Attitudes Toward Computer Applications Scale (PATCAS) as discussed by the authors is a scale designed to measure practitioners' general attitudes toward clinical computer applications, which contains 35 items linked to seven structural variables.

TL;DR: The United States version of the English language, sometimes referred to as Americanese, is a lively, still developing language as mentioned in this paper, and it is frequently interspersed with slang, acronyms, and abbreviations.

TL;DR: A structural model that defines expertise requirements for the development of an ICAI system and suggests procedures for integrating the required expertise into a system is proposed and a multidisciplinary cooperative effort for its development is discussed.

TL;DR: In this paper, the response time to computer-administered questionnaire items were measured in two studies to evaluate how useful it might be in various research areas, and the scales analyzed were the Vigor and Fatigue scales of the Profile of Mood States (POMS), a symptom checklist, a Guttman type fatigue scale, and a Negative and Positive mood scale.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide an introduction to the topic of computer-based software as an instructional means to enhance curricular goals associated with creativity and suggest suggestions on the design of instructional strategies generalized from the two reviews.

TL;DR: The capability of computer technology to allow alternative access to the keyboard, message storage and retrieval, and speech synthesis or printed output provides the flexibility to configure communication systems to meet the needs of a variety of disabled individuals.

TL;DR: The study verified a number of expectations of the “naturalistic” approach to interface design, in particular the correlation of low-level ill-formedness with miscommunication at planning level, and the existence of strong temporal effects in the data according as the dialogue proceeded from beginning to end.

TL;DR: Multivariate analysis of variance did not support the efficacy of any active intervention in six intervention permutations in a three microcomputer treatments for ninth- and tenth-grade students.

TL;DR: Research associated with the Structural Learning Theory shows that a common “goal switching” control mechanism is all that may safely be assumed with confidence and maximum flexibility is achieved by assuming only this mechanism, along with basic encoding and decoding capabilities.

TL;DR: Six basic educational components necessary to trace technology variables directly to specific learning processes are discussed and it is proposed that an answer to the question on technology and improved learning can be done in part by showing the direct linkage of technological variables to specificLearning conditions and processes.

TL;DR: The potential usefulness of the computer simulation methods in the area of child language is discussed and the basic components of the models of language acquisition are compared.

TL;DR: Though there remain several major barriers which technology has yet to break, the computer has grown to occupy a critical position in modern psychophysiological research.
