Abstract

Interactive computerised support systems (CSS) providing confidential, convenient and logical aids might be useful for crisis people (e.g. AIDS/HIV+) who are isolated from services for geographic, economic, emotional or social reasons. Such interactive systems are usually designed for voluntary and repeated use, and the individual's cognitive styles may be crucial to the success of the system design. This paper first introduces a theoretical framework of cognitive styles and repeated CSS use, then a medical CSS for HIV+/AIDS, and finally an empirical study on the relationships between individual cognitive styles and voluntary computer use over time is discussed.
