Traditional usability measures such as effectiveness, efficiency, and satisfaction may not fully describe usability across domains and user groups. Qualitative Grounded Theory analysis was employed to study children assembling toys from pictorial instructions. The resulting model showed that usability problems can have a striking impact beyond just performance, affecting the user's self-efficacy, particularly among girls who tend to use internal attributions and equate difficulty with low ability. Without sufficient self-efficacy, the child will likely choose not to engage with assembly tasks and may regard him or herself as inadequately skilled in that area. Usability professionals should consider adding self-efficacy measures to provide more complete assessments.

The University

Teachers trained in one country are often not allowed to serve as teachers in another country because their teacher’s license is not recognised as equivalent. The barriers these teachers have to overcome in order to work in their profession again are high and often require further (full) teacher training at the university. The paper provides insights into the conditions for teachers who participate in (re-)qualification programmes in Germany and Europe. By linking the theoretical concepts of a biographical approach to teacher professionalisation and transnationalisation in education, the results of an interview study with teachers who have participated in a programme for refugee teachers at a university in Germany are presented. The Grounded Theory analysis reconstructs the strategies of internationally educated teachers managing to keep up their hope to be able to work as teachers again and thus counter the formal de-professionalisation they are facing.

Weight Loss Study

Obesity is a serious, prevalent, and refractory disorder that increases with age particularly in women who enroll in formal weight loss treatments. This study examined the processes used by obese postmenopausal women as they participated in a formal weight loss program. Using grounded theory, interviews were conducted with 14 women engaged in a formal weight loss study examining success with specific, targeted weight loss treatments based on one’s weight control self-efficacy typology. “Taking Charge of One’s Life” emerged as a model for weight management success, comprised of three phases: engaging, internalizing, and keeping one’s commitment. This study supports the unique, complex, and individualized nature of making a decision to lose weight and then maintaining one’s commitment to weight loss.

Resumo A teorização contemporânea enfatiza o envolvimento emocional do terapeuta no relacionamento terapêutico. O objetivo desse estudo é compreender como esse envolvimento se dá na prática clínica e por que terapeutas escolham esse caminho. Foi desenvolvido um estudo a partir de entrevistas a 14 terapeutas, com perguntas sobre como utilizam suas emoções em sessão e quais benefícios visam com essa ação. A análise e categorização dos dados encontrados foram pautadas nos preceitos da Grounded Theory Analysis. Os resultados sugerem que terapeutas expõem suas emoções em sessão com objetivo de diagnóstico e como intervenção terapêutica, promovendo comportamentos alvo e maior consciência de processos interpessoais no cliente. Para o terapeuta, trabalhar com suas emoções pode acarretar em transformações tanto pessoais quanto profissionais. Em uma relação emocionalmente próxima, aberta e genuína no consultório, não só o cliente, mas também o terapeuta é transformado. Assim, a mudança que ocorre no processo terapêutico não deve ser pensada como um processo unilateral.
