COGNITION, EMOTION AND OTHER QUALITATIVE FACTORS IN HUMAN-COMPUTER INTERACTION
A special issue of Interacting with Computers, the Interdisciplinary
Journal of Human-Computer Interaction
============================================================

CALL FOR PARTICIPATION

The General Editorial and Management Board of the journal "Interacting with
Computers" invites practitioners and researchers alike to participate in a
special issue dedicated to Cognition, Emotion and Other Qualitative Factors
in Human-Computer Interaction.

IwC offers authors rapid publication in an expanding area of research and
development, and extends to referees the opportunity to preview significant
work in a field with substantial potential impact both in academia and in
industry.

THE FOCUS
Recent years have seen significant advances towards improved user interface
usability, greater user participation in the software development process,
and a clearer comprehension of the dynamics of various user groups.
However, there is still a great challenge facing the design community in
both understanding and designing for, the more subtle, transient,
subjective aspects of interacting with computers, which greatly determine a
user's success or failure with an interface. This Special Edition aims to
form a response to the growing concern about how users react subjectively
to computers.

Papers are sought which cover, but are not restricted to, the following topics:

-cognition and emotion during human-computer interaction
-computer-related anxiety
-resistance to uptake of technologies
-new techniques measuring subjective responses during interaction
-designing for engagement
-socio-psychological barriers to using computers
-aesthetics in design
-online support groups

In keeping with the interdisciplinary nature of Interacting with Computers,
submissions are invited from any field, including, for example, science and
technology studies, psychology, information studies, sociology, HCI,
anthropology, and commercial software development.
