An empirical study explored how these factors interact to influence attitudes and performance on a task when exposed to a malfunction and certain expectations for technology performance. Unlike previous research, an interaction was found between malfunction and expectation such that individuals exposed to a malfunction with high expectations were more likely to complain about the incident to the responsible company. This is especially informative for industry customer service as it informs why users complain and what product features should be addressed to remedy the issues.","PeriodicalId":44407,"journal":{"name":"Ergonomics in Design","volume":"31 1","pages":"40 - 45"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2021-04-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1177/10648046211007709","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44611327","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Book Review: Modeling Human–System Interaction: Philosophical and Methodological Considerations, With Examples","authors":"J. D. de Winter","doi":"10.1177/1064804618795704","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1177/1064804618795704","url":null,"abstract":"Thomas B. Sheridan is a well-known scientist who has written a large number of influential articles and books on topics such as teleoperation, automation, and supervisory control. His latest book, Modeling Human– System Interaction: Philosophical and Methodological Considerations, With Examples, has, in his words, “evolved from a professional lifetime of thinking about models and, more generally, thinking about thinking” (p. xi). I have mixed feelings about this book. On the positive side, it contains an accessible overview of classical human–machine system models, including “borrowed engineering models” and qualitative human– automation interaction models. The book has a logical structure, and the core chapters are devoted to the four human information-processing stages (acquiring information, analyzing the information, deciding on action, and implementing and evaluating the action). The models are described in a dense, no-nonsense style. For example, chapter 8, “Implementing and Evaluating the Action,” describes Hick’s law and information theory, Fitts’s law of human movement, open-loop versus closed-loop manual control, McRuer’s crossover model, time delays and preview, internal representation, modeling of response times, human error, and Reason’s Swiss cheese model. It is impressive that all these topics are covered in only 10 pages with quite a sparse layout. I believe that Sheridan has been successful in bringing forward the essence of the selected models. If a reader wishes to learn more about topics such as detection theory, preview control, manual control theory, or Kalman filtering, the 30 pages of appendices provide a useful, mathematically oriented addition. The book also contains a good deal of discussion on what models are. For example, in chapter 2, Sheridan introduces a set of criteria that allow one to classify models: applicability to observables, dimensionality, metricity, robustness, social penetration, and conciseness, each of which can be coded from 1 (least) to 3 (most). I find this an interesting taxonomy, as it differs from existing model-appraising techniques (e.g., Jacobs & Grainger, 1994). I also have a few critical remarks to make. First, although it is clear that this book aims to review classical models, the writing appears to be outdated. Sheridan explains in the preface that “the reader may feel that some models are dated and no longer in fashion . . . , though I would maintain that all those included have passed the test of time and continue to have relevance.” But it is still peculiar that, for example, fuzzy logic is described as a “new analytical tool” (p. 48) while Sheridan cites a reference from 1965. I cannot escape the impression that this book is primarily a compilation of well-known models and drawings and that no attention has been devoted to relating to modern technology or to adding up-to-date reflection, insight, or integration. For example, chapter 9, “Human–Automaton Interaction,” contains a figure","PeriodicalId":44407,"journal":{"name":"Ergonomics in Design","volume":"26 1","pages":"29 - 30"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2018-08-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1177/1064804618795704","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"65304597","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The contributors include prominent researchers from the academic, industry, civilian government, and military communities in the United States, Australia, Canada, the United Kingdom, and New Zealand. (The omission of researchers from other nations is not explained.) The book is organized into four sections addressing the scope of the fatigue problem, sleep loss and other causes of operator fatigue, the assessment and monitoring of fatigue, and approaches to managing fatigue. The 24 chapters provide a fairly thorough review of recent research in each of the four areas addressed and make clear the complexity of operator fatigue issues and the challenges of managing fatigue in the transport industries in today's 24-hour society. The book is an excellent source of information for readers who need to \"come up to speed\" in the area of transportation operator fatigue and to familiarize themselves with the current state of research programs. It should be a valuable resource for researchers, transport industry managers, and regulators. Although most articles are written on an academic level, some are more practically oriented, especially in the final section on fatigue management strategies. Transportation modes represented here include commercial (trucks, taxis) and noncommercial road transport, commercial air transport, and maritime operations, but trucking is the mode given the greatest emphasis. Some chapters discuss more generic issues not related to a single transport mode (a survey of sleep in a commuter population, a work-related fatigue model, etc.). The scope of the papers varies from broad literature and research program reviews to reports of specific research projects. The production quality of the book is disappointing. Some articles have numerous typographical errors or poor graphics, and a few are in real need of technical editing. The rudimentary index might as well have been omitted. For the most pan, these flaws do not affect the utility of the volume, but a reader/buyer has a right to expect more in a book offered at this price.","PeriodicalId":44407,"journal":{"name":"Ergonomics in Design","volume":"8 1","pages":"32 - 32"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2000-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1177/106480460000800107","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"65303950","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
