Understanding How Age, Input Method, and Input Content Impact User Error

Cannon, Angela Brooke 13 December 2014 (has links)
The growing number of mobile devices used today and the increasing dependency on them in the workplace makes understanding how users interact with these devices critical. This study looks to find how different generational groups commit errors on different types of devices. Participants completed tasks consisting of word and character input on two different devices, a physical keypad and touchscreen device. The number of errors and types of error, corrected and permanent were collected for each participant. It was found that participants committed more errors when using character input and physical keypad devices but also corrected more of their errors when using them. When looking at number of errors and the amount of corrected errors, the optimal input content and input method paired combination is using word input on the key device. The results of this study can help guide industries in choosing the right devices for their users.

The Human Error : En analys av forskningsläget kring mänskliga faktorer som sårbarhet inom IT-säkerhet / The Human Error : An analysis of the current research on human factors as vulnerabilities in IT security

Olofsson, Emilia, Rasaratnam, Sangeetha January 2024 (has links)
Ett samhälle som snabbt förändras av digitaliseringens transformerande kraft är en omfattande och debatterad fråga i vår nutid. Trots de möjligheter den ger, kvarstår utmaningar, särskilt inom IT-säkerhet. Befintlig forskning betonar främst de tekniska aspekterna och försummar det avgörande mänskliga inslaget inom IT-säkerhet. Det rådande forskningsgapet belyser det mänskliga elementet som en betydande sårbarhet för att upprätthålla säkra digitala miljöer. Medan teknologiska skydd är nödvändiga visar de sig ofta otillräckliga utan hänsyn till mänskliga faktorer. Den tänkta studien syftar till att undersöka forskningsläget kring mänskliga faktorer inom IT-säkerhet. Genom en kvalitativ litteraturstudie som primär forskningsstrategi granskas och analyseras vetenskaplig forskning och litteratur systematiskt inom det valda ämnesområdet. Resultatet presenterar i vilken omfattning olika koncept relaterade till mänskliga faktorer inom IT-säkerhet undersöks. Studien bidrar således till en teoretisk kunskapsutveckling för att stärka och skydda digital information och infrastruktur genom att identifiera områden som forskningen är begränsad kring. Denna studie strävar efter att fylla forskningsgapet genom att belysa mänskliga sårbarheter inom IT-säkerhet och vilka koncept som bör undersökas vidare. På så sätt kan studien bidra till en holistisk förståelse av IT-säkerhet, med en balans mellan teknologiska och människocentrerade tillvägagångssätt. / A society rapidly transformed by the transformative power of digitization is a comprehensive and debated issue in our contemporary times. Despite the opportunities it presents, challenges persist, particularly in IT security. Existing research primarily emphasizes the technical aspects while neglecting the crucial human element within IT security. The current research gap highlights the human element as a significant vulnerability in maintaining secure digital environments. While technological safeguards are necessary, they often prove insufficient without consideration of human factors. The intended study aims to investigate the current state of research on human factors in IT security. Through a qualitative literature review as the primary research strategy, scientific research and literature within the chosen subject area are systematically examined and analyzed. The findings present the extent to which various concepts related to human factors in IT security are explored. Thus, the study contributes to theoretical knowledge development to strengthen and protect digital information and infrastructure by identifying areas where research is limited. This study seeks to fill the research gap by highlighting human vulnerabilities in IT security and which concepts should be further investigated. In doing so, the study may contribute to a holistic understanding of IT security, balancing technological and human-centered approaches.
