Please join the Department of Human Centered Design & Engineering (HCDE) this Friday, February 10, for a guest lecture by Yahoo! Research Scientist Judd Antin.
Title: Towards Adaptive Incentive Systems for Online Collaboration Date: February 10, 2012 Speaker: Judd Antin, Post-Doctoral Research Scientist, Yahoo! Research
When: Friday, February 10, 10:30-11:30 AM Where: Allen Auditorium, UW Seattle campus
Abstract In this talk I will focus attention on the many forms of online collaboration, the motivations of those who collaborate, and the incentive systems that support such collaboration. I will argue that some current models of online motivation are overly simplistic, and I will lay out a model of adaptive incentive systems that accounts for three factors: (1) individual differences in attitudes and beliefs, (2) diverging paths of participation over time, and (3) the unique social-technical contexts of online collaboration. I will dive deeply into two recent studies. First, I will present a lab-based experiment which examines the motivational power of social comparisons, as well as the connections between social comparisons, competence beliefs, and individual differences in social value orientation. Second, I will describe a multi-method data analysis of Wikipedians’ activities as they move from their first experiences through fuller participation. Through these two empirical examples I will illustrate the benefits of adaptive incentive systems and a research path to enable their design and implementation.
