TL;DR: In this paper, a survey was conducted with 390 respondents in the USA about couples' habits regarding joint online shopping, and it was found that joint shopping is overwhelmingly common among couples and that they engage in such activity in a wide variety of ergonomic layouts.

Abstract: The phenomenon of multiple users interacting together with a single shared system interface to perform a task (i.e., a multiuser human-computer interaction) is under-investigated in the Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) literature, yet it shows promising avenues for research. For example, little is known about cross-level influences driving collaborative use of a shared system interface, and the literature lacks knowledge about collective adaptation of users to triggers in this setting. The present work contributes to contemporary research on multiuser HCI with system interfaces. As an initial effort, it focusses on the joint use of online shopping platforms by couples. A survey is conducted with 390 respondents in the USA about couples’ habits regarding joint online shopping. Results suggest that joint online shopping is overwhelmingly common among couples and that they engage in such activity in a wide variety of ergonomic layouts. Our findings constitute preliminary evidence and intrinsically call for more researchers’ interest in investigating emotional, cognitive and behavioral dynamics taking place when multiple users jointly use system interfaces. Such research endeavors may ultimately inform and optimize multiuser system designs and corresponding products and services.

Collaborative Use of a Shared System Interface: The Role of User Gaze—Gaze Convergence Index Based on Synchronous Dual-Eyetracking
Armel Quentin Tchanou,Pierre-Majorique Léger,Jared Boasen,Sylvain Sénécal,Jad Adam Taher,Marc Fredette +5 more
TL;DR: The validity of the proposed gaze convergence index, a novel index for measuring the gaze convergence of user dyads, is indicated and the utility of (theoretical or practical) applications such as synchronized gaze convergence displays in diverse settings is suggested.

Reconceptualizing System Usage: An Approach and Empirical Test
TL;DR: An empirical investigation of the relationship between system usage and short-run task performance in cognitively engaging tasks supports the benefits of the approach and shows how an inappropriate choice of usage measures can lead researchers to draw opposite conclusions in an empirical study.

Toward a deeper understanding of system usage in organizations: a multilevel perspective
TL;DR: The multilevel perspective advanced in this article offers rich opportunities for theoretical and empirical insights and suggests a new foundation for in-depth research on the nature of system usage, its emergence and change, and its antecedents and consequences.

Tapped out or barely tapped? Recommendations for how to harness the vast and largely unused potential of the Mechanical Turk participant pool
TL;DR: It is found that there are at least 250,000 MTurk workers worldwide and that a large majority of US workers are new to the platform each year and therefore relatively inexperienced as research participants, which can help researchers harness the vast and largely untapped potential of the Mechanical Turk participant pool.
An investigation of information systems use patterns: technological events as triggers, the effect of time, and consequences for performance
Ana Ortiz de Guinea,Jane Webster +1 more
TL;DR: A rich conceptualization of IS use patterns as individuals' emotions, cognition, and behaviors while employing an information technology to accomplish a work-related task is developed and clarifies that it is how (rather than how much) people use IT that is pertinent for performance.

Is IT Changing the World? Conceptions of Causality for Information Systems Theorizing
M. Lynne Markus,Frantz Rowe +1 more
TL;DR: A framework of causal structure, warranted by philosophy and social theory, specialized for the needs of Information Systems scholars is proposed, which aims to offer useful insights into the nature of IS theory and the conundrum of theoretical contribution.
