SUMMARY:Measuring User Enjoyment
LOCATION:Ernst & Young LLP - 925 Euclid Ave. Cleveland
DESCRIPTION:http://www.neoupa.org/Default.aspx?pageId=11863&eventId=41390&EventViewMode=EventDetails\n\n\nFebruary 18\, 2009 - Measuring User Enjoyment  \n Lauren Murphy (Ernst & Young) will be presenting on the topic of Hedonomics\, a presentation she gave at the Human Factors Ergonomics Society 52nd Annual Meeting. The presentation title is: \nAn Hedonomic Evaluation of the Effect of Repeated \nsystem Exposure on Pleasurable Human-System Experience. \n Abstract: We report on two studies of the mere exposure effect on the occurrence of flow. Findings reveal that: (a) pleasurable human-system experience increased linearly with repeated exposure to the technology of interest\; (b) an habituation effect \nof flow was mediated by day\; (c) performance was positively correlated to flow. Suggestions for future research directions for Hedonomics include mitigating the habituation of flow effect by incorporating an adaptive hedonomic design to reduce the effect of boredom that comes with familiar stimuli an approach that enables the user to create a balance between typicality and novelty in order to allow for changing cultural norms and personal change over time.\n Lauren Murphy graduated with her Ph.D in Psychology from the Applied Experimental Human Factors Psychology program at the University of Central Florida.  Her research interests include  Hedonomics or that branch of science and design dedicated to promoting pleasurable human-technology interaction. Today\, as a user experience analyst at Ernst & Young\, Lauren focuses on the user’s experience while interacting with applications and she is continually working to improve their experience and enjoyment of that interaction.\n Meeting Time: 6:30-8:30pm \n     * 6:30 - 6:45 pm - Food & socializing      * 6:45 - 7:00 pm - NEOUPA business      * 7:00 - 8:00 pm - Lauren Murphy presentation      * 8:00 - 8:30 pm - Q & A and wrap-up\n\n Meeting cost\n     * Free Events for NEOUPA members      * $10 for non-members\n\n Directions\n  Ernst & Young LLP \n925 Euclid Ave - 15th Floor \nCleveland\, Ohio 44115\n Ernst & Young is located in the Huntington Building on Euclid Avenue near E. 9th Street.  Once in the building\, there are three banks of elevators\, people should take the 12 – 17 bank of elevators to the 15th floor. We will meet everyone at the 15th floor and escort them to the conference room.\n Please have a photo id available and ask for directions to the NEOUPA meeting.  Sarah Bond is the E&Y contact\, if an employee name is requested.\n Parking is available on Chester Ave. in the Huntington Bldg parking garage\, on Euclid Ave. at the Statler parking garage or on East 9th at the Tower Garage. Each Garage has it’s own parking rate.\n The Huntington Bank Parking lot costs $5 after 3:00 on normal nights. It is connected to the E&Y office by an underground walkway. The address of the parking lot is 947 Chester Ave. You can also come to downtown Cleveland on Route 2 (Shoreway)\, exit at East 9th\, turn left onto Chester and then park. That way you avoid the East 9th construction. \n To get to the E&Y building from the Huntington parking lot\, take the elevator to the basement. Turn right out of the elevator. Walk through the tunnel. then through the revolving door\, across the mall and up the escalator. It is all a straight shot from the elevator\, just giving landmarks so people will know they are on the right path. Now use the elevator marked 12 -17 to go to the 13th floor. It is all covered and connected\, so it will keep you out of the weather.\n Another parking option is the Statler parking garage\, only $3.25 after 5\, but it is on Euclid Ave. To get to E & Y from the Statler\, walk out to Euclid\, turn right towards East 9th. The office is the nice building at 925 Euclid with the brass revolving doors.\n Mapquest location is available at: http://www.mapquest.com/maps?city=Cleveland&state=OH&address=925+Euclid+Ave&zipcode=44115\n  \n
