Publikation How WEIRD is CHI?(Association for Computing Machinery, 2021) Linxen, Sebastian; Sturm, Christian; Brühlmann, Florian; Cassau, Vincent; Opwis, Klaus; Reinecke, KatharinaComputer technology is often designed in technology hubs in Western countries, invariably making it “WEIRD”, because it is based on the intuition, knowledge, and values of people who are Western, Educated, Industrialized, Rich, and Democratic. Developing technology that is universally useful and engaging requires knowledge about members of WEIRD and non-WEIRD societies alike. In other words, it requires us, the CHI community, to generate this knowledge by studying representative participant samples. To fnd out to what extent CHI participant samples are from Western societies, we analyzed papers published in the CHI proceedings between 2016-2020. Our fndings show that 73% of CHI study fndings are based on Western participant samples, representing less than 12% of the world’s population. Furthermore, we show that most participant samples at CHI tend to come from industrialized, rich, and democratic countries with generally highly educated populations. Encouragingly, recent years have seen a slight increase in non-Western samples and those that include several countries. We discuss suggestions for further broadening the international representation of CHI participant samples.04B - Beitrag KonferenzschriftPublikation WhatsApp for mobile learning. Effects on knowledge, resilience and isolation in the school-to-work transition(Elsevier, 2021) Pimmer, Christoph; Brühlmann, Florian; Odetola, Titilayo Dorothy; Dipeolu, Oluwafemi; Oluwasola, Olusola; Jäger, Janine; Ajuwon, Ademola JohnsonThis experimental study investigated the use of instant messaging in the school-to-work transi-tion, a crucial stage of learning and development. Newly graduated health professionals (n=235) participated in WhatsApp groups in which moderators shared knowledge and stimulated professional discussions. The results show that participants in the WhatsApp groups had markedly higher levels of knowledge, greater resilience as well as lower levels of professional isolation– in comparison with the control group. They also reported less stress when searching for a new job These findings are affirmed by the qualitative analysis of open survey questions: knowledge ac-quisition emerged as the main benefit followed by connectedness and professional informational benefits. A further interesting result is that the general, day-to-day use of WhatsApp outside of the intervention was linked to higher levels of resilience. Another finding is that although the actual (measured) and self-reported frequency of participation in the WhatsApp groups correlated highly, these measures did not predict the outcome variables in the regression analysis. This observation questions the frequency of participation as a proxy for the success of engagement.01A - Beitrag in wissenschaftlicher Zeitschrift
