Abstract:
|
This study extended the computers as social actors perspective and further asked the question: What kind of relationship people have developed with their computers. An online survey was conducted with 86 college students participated. The findings indicated that people might develop diverse relationships with their computers. The computer-computer relationship types identified in this study were: social relationship, working relationship, acquaintance, mixed relationship and enemy. The natures of these relationships were: warm, love-hate, neutral and cold. People also developed emotional ties with their computers. The interactions between human-computer relationship type, human-computer relationship nature, computer use and computer activities were examined. The finding suggested that human-computer relationship type and nature do influence computer use. This study proposed a new perspective on human-computer interaction. Theoretical and practical implications were discussed. |
