ABSTRACT

The majority of interface delay research and practitioner literature recommends minimizing delay as much as possible. However, a very limited number of studies have identified cultural chronism which may make the desirability of trading functionality and resources for minimal delays inappropriate within certain populations. Specifically, members of monochronic cultures highly value speed in system response, while those of polychronic cultures do not. This current study extends existing literature to investigate a previously unexplored culture and subculture, respectively, Han Chinese and African Americans, and their attitudes toward download delay and trading download delay for better functionality.

摘要

大多数接口延迟研究和从业人员文献都建议尽可能减少延迟。但是，非常有限的研究已经确定了文化年代性，这可能使某些人群不希望使用交易功能和资源以尽量减少延迟。具体来说，单时性文化的成员高度重视系统响应的速度，而多时性文化的成员则没有。这项最新研究扩展了现有文献，分别调查了汉族和非裔美国人先前尚未探索的文化和亚文化，以及他们对下载延迟和交易下载延迟以获取更好功能的态度。
