The effects of transparency cues on news source credibility online: An investigation of ‘opinion labels’

Unlabeled opinionated content on search engines and social media can potentially affect news consumers’ perceptions of the credibility of news sources. This paper explores the effects of ‘opinion labels’ on news previews (known as ‘story cards’) on readers’ perceptions of news source credibility. Participants ( N = 389) in a 3x2x2 study were presented with a feed containing biased and unbiased content from one news source. Labeling opinionated content on story cards significantly increased the perceived credibility of the news source ( p < 0.01), supporting the role of opinion segmentation on credibility. The findings have socio-political implications as they indicate that design choices such as labeling content can significantly impact credibility and trust in news media.

Elucidation of young adults’ relationships to forests in northern Sweden using forest story cards

ABSTRACTAs Swedish family forests’ owners are ageing, large proportions of ownership will soon be transferred to new owners. However, little is known about forest-related views and expectations of the younger generations. Since forests are economically, ecologically and socially important in Sweden there is increasing interest in elucidating their perceptions and intentions. This paper addresses this issue by exploring young adults’ relationships with forests during childhood, current attitudes toward forests and forestry, and their future hopes and intentions regarding forests. Results of focus group sessions with young adults in northern Sweden, using Forest Story Cards to aid the discussions, show that their relationships with forests are intimately connected to their home environment and family matters. Their selections and comments indicate that both their current relationships and childhood experiences of forests are strongly linked to recreational activities, while they are less familiar with forestry operations. The youths appear to have consistently positive attitudes toward and value forests, but their attitudes toward forestry are more diverse, encompassing both positive and negative associations. They also regard environmental aspects of forests and the possibility to offer their children the same forest relationship they enjoyed as important issues for the future.

A novel approach to streamline RE process for multi-agent systems

The intensification of ubiquitous computing has revitalised distributed multi-agent systems. Business and product requirements often change as development proceeds, making a straight-line path to requirement engineering (RE) impracticable. To cope up with the adaptability in the requirements, this work offers a novel evolutionary approach to revolutionise RE process for MAS. The proposed framework bridges the gap between users and developers by facilitating user-oriented view using user story cards and developer-oriented view using agent cards. To address inter-agent coordination issues, this work presents bilateral concepts-type of dependency and degree of dependency that assist the developers in reducing the trivial dependencies and thereby unnecessary communication overheads. An integrated approach for requirements prioritisation enables a large number of stakeholders to resolve their conflicts in deciding which agents are viable to achieve. In addition, a fuzzy traceability vector model and a coding scheme to specify the requirements of agents are the distinguished features of this work.

The Degree of Textuality in Speech of Six-year-old Children

The aim in this investigation is to define the degree of textuality in the speech of six-year-old Turkish children. For this reason, the introduction and conclusion parts of their speech were investigated. Additionally, the rate and accuracy degree of pronoun use which is another sign for a text showing the relation within sentences has been focused in the investigation. The participants of the research were 24 six-year-old students in a pre-school in Antalya, Turkey. The data was collected by making the participants speak about some story cards prepared in advance. This operation was repeated for the second time in the following week using a set of different story cards. All the speech was recorded and analyzed through the content analysis technique. The texts were evaluated by two raters for their conformity. The records were analyzed to see whether they include linguistic items functioning as introduction and conclusion, and to see whether the correlation was clear between the pronouns and what they referred to. The findings showed that there were introduction parts in only eight records of speech and only conclusions in only nine. All the participants used a total of 1217 pronouns. Most of the things referred by those pronouns were vague or not understandable. As a result, it was understood that the textual degree in language acquisition of six-year-old children was not at the intended level.

Transformative Learning in Practice: Examples from Extension Education

Transformative learning can lead to great awareness of one's own and others' personal perspectives and result in changes in how participants understand important social issues and how they choose to take action or not. Three examples of Extension teaching that embrace transformative learning are presented: a phenomenological approach to interaction with landowners; forest story cards; and scenario planning. These tools have been shown to be useful in forestry and may be useful in many Extension disciplines.

But You Promised: Children’s Judgments of Broken Promises

Current conceptions regarding children’s understanding of promises (and promise breaking) rely upon absolute distinction: namely, a promise versus a non-promise. The current study expands the understanding of children’s judgments of broken promises to include more nuanced, refined descriptions. Utilizing a four-point rating scale—ranging from “OK” to “very bad”—forty children aged 6 to 10 judged story cards depicting characters breaking commitments not to engage in specific behaviors across three different domains (moral, social-conventional, and personal). Analyses indicated that children judge broken promises in the moral domain more severely than those in the social-conventional domain and broken promises in the social-conventional domain more severely than those in the personal domain. Therefore, children appear to judge broken commitments on a sliding scale in much the same way they judge actions from the moral, social-conventional and personal domains. Results from the current study also suggest an inverse pattern of judgment with regards to broken commitments. Specifically, it appears that the more severely an initial action is judged, the less severely its concurrent commitment condition is judged; and vice versa. These findings help refine our understanding of childhood interpretations of broken promises and engender several unique ideas for future research in this field.

Investigating the design process: participatory design in agile software development

PurposeThis paper aims to explore a case of customer and user participation in an agile software development project, which produced a tailor‐made information system for workplace support as a step towards a theory of participatory design in agile software development.Design/methodology/approachBased on an integrated framework for user participation derived from the participatory design literature the research was performed as a case study and semi‐structured, open‐ended interviews were conducted with about a third of the development team and with a representative sample of key players and future users in the customer organization. The interview data were supplemented with company and project documents.FindingsThe paper found genuine customer and user participation carried out by onsite customers and by other operational staff in the form of direct and indirect participation and with functional and democratic empowerment. The onsite customers played informative, consultative and participative roles. The analysis revealed that planning games, user stories and story cards, working software and acceptance tests structured the customer and user participation. This form of user participation supported a balance between flexibility and project progress and resulted in a project and a product which were considered a success by the customer and the development organization. The analysis showed that the integrative framework for user participation can also fruitfully be used in a new context to understand what participatory design is and how, when and where it can be performed as an instance of a design process in agile development. As such the paper contributes to an analytical and a design theory of participatory design in agile development. Furthermore the paper explicates why participatory design contributes to the successful completion of the investigated project. By drawing on innovation theory it was found that participatory design in agile development bears the characteristics of a successful organizational innovation. Grounding further explanations in complex adaptive systems theory the paper provides an additional argument why participatory design despite some identified challenges fosters project staff to successfully carry out the agile development project.Originality/valueThe paper presents an exploratory, empirical study of an understudied phenomenon and contributes to theory building.

Gender Role Attitudes and Attribution of Blame for Spousal Violence in Married Men and Women

The present research aimed at investigating the effects of gender role attitudes on attribution of blame for spousal violence in married men and women. Spousal Violence Blame Questionnaire (SVBQ) was developed which was based on 12 visual scenarios of spousal incidents; scenario opinion questionnaire; and background information/ story cards. A sample of 120 married participants (60 men, 60 women) with age ranging from 20 to 62 years (M=35.63) was administered by Gender Role Attitude Scale (Kamal &Saqib, 2004), Dyadic Adjustment Scale (Naseer, 2000) and SVBQ. Experimental group was given the background story before presenting video clips, whereas the control group was shown the clips without the background story. Experimental group attributed significantly more blame towards the victim in a spousal violence incident as compared to the control group. Participants considered an incident as spousal violence in case of physical violence scenarios but they did not take it as violence in case of non-physicalviolence.

Forest Story Cards, a Visual Survey Tool

A visual survey tool for initiating dialogue about forests with adults and youth, Forest Story Cards, is described. The cards include 52 selected photographs related to forests, a wild card, and instructions. Field-testing by natural resource professionals, Extension educators, and forestry volunteers indicate the photographic cards help individuals communicate and make associations about their life experiences, concerns, and hopes for their own forests and for forests in general. Visual survey techniques such as Forest Story Cards hold promise for use in other educational situations when addressing issues and topics about which the individuals involved lack shared background or experience.

Story Card Maturity Model (SMM): A Process Improvement Framework for Agile Requirements Engineering Practices

This paper describes an ongoing process to define a suitable process improvement model for story cards based requirement engineering process and practices at agile software development environments. Key features of the SMM (Story card Maturity Model) process are: solves the problems related to the story cards like requirements conflicts, missing requirements, ambiguous requirements, define standard structure of story cards, to address nonfunctional requirements from exploration phase, and the use of a simplified and tailored assessment method for story cards based requirements engineering practices based on the CMM, which is poorly addressed at CMM. CMM does not cover how the quality of the requirements engineering process should be secured or what activities should be present for the requirements engineering process to achieve a certain maturity level. It is difficult to know what is not addressed or what could be done to improve the process. We also presents how can be the identified areas of improvement from assessment can be mapped with best knowledge based story cards practices for agile software development environments.

Collaboration and co-ordination in mature eXtreme programming teams

Mature eXtreme programming (XP) teams are highly collaborative and self-organising. In previous studies, we have observed that these teams rely on two apparently simple mechanisms of co-ordination and collaboration: story cards and the Wall. Story cards capture and embody the user stories which form the basis of implementation, while the Wall is a physical space used to organise and display the cards being implemented during the current development cycle (called an iteration). In this paper, we analyse the structure and use of story cards and the Wall in three mature XP teams, using a distributed cognition approach. The teams work in different commercial organisations developing different systems, yet we find significant similarities between their use of these two artefacts. Although simple, teams use the cards and the Wall in sophisticated ways to represent and communicate information that is vital to support their activities. We discuss the significance of the physical medium for the story cards and the Wall in an XP team and discuss the considerations that need to be taken into account for the design of technology to support the teams.

Adapting XP to complex application domains

Extreme programming (XP) works well for small software projects in not-too-complex application domains. In many of these projects the rather simple requirements engineering of XP (customers write story cards) has proved suitable. But today we are more often faced with complex application domains in which the classical XP techniques will not suffice. The tutorial shows how to adapt extreme programming to complex application domains and to demanding development tasks. We focus mainly on the requirements engineering part and show how to enhance XP with interviews, scenarios and system visions. We also integrate the management perspective into the "planning game" reconciling this perspective to users' needs. We propose a set of best-practice methods we have used in a number of industrial high-risk projects for different complex application domains.
