  • Collaborative Information Behavior: Exploring collaboration and coordination during Information seeking and retrieval activities
    Collaborative Information Behavior, 2010
    Co-Authors: Madhu C. Reddy, Bernard J Jansen, Patricia Ruma Spence
    Abstract:

    Collaborative Information Behavior is an important and growing area of research in the field of Information Behavior. Although collaboration is a key component of work in organizational and other settings, most research has primarily focused on individual Information Behavior and not the collaborative aspects of Information Behavior. Consequently, there is a pressing need to understand both the conceptual features of this type of Behavior and the technical approaches to support these collaborative activities. In this chapter, the authors describe current research in this area and what we are learning about collaboration and coordination during these activities. In particular, the authors present details of ethnographic field studies that are starting to uncover the characteristics of collaborative Information Behavior. They also discuss a preliminary collaborative Information Behavior model and some technical explorations that they are conducting in this space.

  • A model for understanding collaborative Information Behavior in context: A study of two healthcare teams
    Information Processing and Management, 2008
    Co-Authors: Madhu C. Reddy, Bernard J Jansen
    Abstract:

    Collaborative Information Behavior is an essential aspect of organizational work; however, we have very limited understanding of this Behavior. Most models of Information Behavior focus on the individual seeker of Information. In this paper, we report the results from two empirical studies that investigate aspects of collaborative Information Behavior in organizational settings. From these studies, we found that collaborative Information Behavior differs from individual Information Behavior with respect to how individuals interact with each other, the complexity of the Information need, and the role of Information technology. There are specific triggers for transitioning from individual to collaborative Information Behavior, including lack of domain expertise. The Information retrieval technologies used affect collaborative Information Behavior by acting as important supporting mechanisms. From these results and prior work, we develop a model of collaborative Information Behavior along the axes of participant Behavior, situational elements, and contextual triggers. We also present characteristics of collaborative Information system including search, chat, and sharing. We discuss implications for the design of collaborative Information retrieval systems and directions for future work. © 2007 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

  • HICSS - Determinants of Vertical and Horizontal Online Health Information Behavior
    2014 47th Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences, 2014
    Co-Authors: Hye-jin Paek, Thomas Hove
    Abstract:

    This study examines two types of online health Information Behavior: vertical, one-way online health Information Behavior oriented toward receiving messages from elites and professionals, and horizontal, two-way online health Information Behavior oriented toward sharing communication among ordinary Internet users. The purpose is to investigate how each type of Behavior is associated with different demographic, psychographic, and lifestyle factors. The guiding theoretical arguments are based on the Uses and Gratifications (UG second, being young and female and having trust in doctors and traditional media decreased odds of engaging in horizontal online health Information Behavior. This study contributes to broadening understanding of how people use health Information online, and it suggests that health professionals and communicators should consider the different characteristics of people who tend toward either vertical or horizontal online health Information Behavior.

  • Determinants of Vertical and Horizontal Online Health Information Behavior

    Abstract:

    This study examines two types of online health Information Behavior: vertical, one-way online health Information Behavior oriented toward receiving messages from elites and professionals, and horizontal, two-way online health Information Behavior oriented toward sharing communication among ordinary Internet users. The purpose is to investigate how each type of Behavior is associated with different demographic, psychographic, and lifestyle factors. The guiding theoretical arguments are based on the Uses and Gratifications (U&G) approach, Social Cognitive Theory, and The Theory of Reasoned Action/Theory of Planned Behavior. The dataset analyzed is the 2012 Health Information National Trends Survey, which was collected among 2238 nationally representative American adults who reported that they have used the Internet for health Information. Logistic regression analysis shows two key findings: first, having a high income and education increased odds of engaging in vertical online health Information Behavior; second, being young and female and having trust in doctors and traditional media decreased odds of engaging in horizontal online health Information Behavior. This study contributes to broadening understanding of how people use health Information online, and it suggests that health professionals and communicators should consider the different characteristics of people who tend toward either vertical or horizontal online health Information Behavior.

  • Information Behavior: A socio-cognitive ability
    Evolutionary Psychology, 2020
    Co-Authors: Amanda Spink, Charles Cole
    Abstract:

    How has human Information Behavior evolved? Our paper explores this question in the form of notions, models and theories about the relationship between Information Behavior and human evolution. Alexander's Ecological Dominance and Social Competition/Cooperation (EDSC) model currently provides the most comprehensive overview of human traits in the development of a theory of human evolution and sociality. His model provides a basis for explaining the evolution of human socio-cognitive abilities, including ecological dominance, and social competition/cooperation. Our paper examines the human trait of Information Behavior as a socio-cognitive ability related to ecological dominance, and social competition/cooperation. The paper first outlines what is meant by Information Behavior from various interdisciplinary perspectives. We propose that Information Behavior is a socio-cognitive ability that is related to and enables other socio-cognitive abilities such as human ecological dominance, and social competition/...

  • Introduction to human Information Behavior
    2020
    Co-Authors: Amanda Spink, James Currier
    Abstract:

    New Directions in Human Information Behavior, co-edited by Drs. Amanda Spink and Charles Cole provides an understanding of the new directions, leading edge theories and models in human Information Behavior. Information Behavior is conceptualized as complex human Information related processes that are embedded within an individual’s everyday social and life processes. The book presents chapters by an interdisciplinary range of scholars who show new directions that often challenge the established views and paradigms of Information Behavior studies. Beginning with an evolutionary framework, the book examines Information Behaviors over various epochs of human existence from the Palaeolithic Era and within pre-literate societies, to contemporary Behaviors by 21st century humans. Drawing upon social and psychological science theories the book presents a more integrated and holistic approach to the understanding of Information Behaviors that include multitasking and non-linear longitudinal processes, individuals’ Information ground, Information practices and Information sharing, digital Behaviors and human Information organizing Behaviors. The final chapter of the book integrates these new approaches and presents an overview of the key trends, theories and models for further research. This book is directly relevant to Information scientists, librarians, social and evolutionary psychologists. Undergraduate and graduate students, academics and Information professionals interested in human Information Behavior will find this book of particular benefit.

  • Human Information Behavior (introduction to special issue)
    2020
    Co-Authors: Amanda Spink, Allen Foster
    Abstract:

    Information Behavior studies are a growing body of research that highlights the importance of Information for everyone in the Information age. This e-book presents an international and diverse range of studies and insights into the current state of theories and models of Information Behavior. There is an emphasis on the socialpersonalhuman dimensions of Information seeking using social science methods and theoretical frameworks. The studies particularly draw on the methods and theories of anthropology, sociology and psychology to produce interpretations of the way in which Information is experienced in the lives of individuals working as critical care nurses in a medical environment, the Information seeking Behavior of the visually impaired, the social interactions within knitting circles in public libraries, and attempts to apply Information Behavior theory to the design of Information solutions. Collectively the papers contribute more generally to our understanding of Information Behavior theory and models, including the medical and retrieval contexts.
