Research > > When: Friday, February 10, 10:30-11:30 AM > Where: Loew Hall, Room 206, UW Seattle campus > > Abstract > In this talk I will focus attention on the many forms of online > collaboration, the motivations of those who collaborate, and the incentive > systems that support such collaboration. I will argue that some current > models of online motivation are overly simplistic, and I will lay out a model > of adaptive incentive systems that accounts for three factors: (1) individual > differences in attitudes and beliefs, (2) diverging paths of participation > over time, and (3) the unique social-technical contexts of online > collaboration. I will dive deeply into two recent studies. First, I will > present a lab-based experiment which examines the motivational power of > social comparisons, as well as the connections between social comparisons, > competence beliefs, and individual differences in social value orientation. > Second, I will describe a multi-method data analysis of Wikipedians? > activities as they move from their first experiences through fuller > participation. Through these two empirical examples I will illustrate the > benefits of adaptive incentive systems and a research path to enable their > design and implementation. > > About the Speaker > Judd Antin is a Post-Doctoral Research Scientist in the Internet Experiences > group at Yahoo! Research. Judd?s areas of expertise include incentives and > motivation for online collaboration, online communities, collective action > and social dilemmas, as well as trust, reliability, and credibility. His > research interests center on user-generated content, social media, the wisdom > of crowds, distributed work, and all other forms of online collaboration. > Judd completed his PhD in Information Management & Systems at the School of > Information at UC Berkeley in 2010. In 2011 Judd was named one of MIT > Technology Review's top 35 innovators under 35 (TR35). > _______________________________________________ > Hcde-community mailing list > Hcde-community at u.washington.edu > http://mailman2.u.washington.edu/mailman/listinfo/hcde-community > _______________________________________________ > Hcde-faculty mailing list > Hcde-faculty at u.washington.edu > http://mailman2.u.washington.edu/mailman/listinfo/hcde-faculty -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
