Content Development for a Virtual Social Engagement Intervention

Video technology has the potential to provide older adults with socially and cognitively engaging activities for in-home participation. We are exploring use of OneClick.chat, a video technology platform, to present older adults with and without mild cognitive impairment opportunities for engagement. In collaboration with iN2L we have developed events that will facilitate conversations that do not rely on episodic memory, cover a range of topics, and represent different cultures and interests. We selected event topics that were positive, socially and cognitively engaging, and included a range of pictures based on our previous research. Events were carefully controlled for length of presentation, picture type, and readability. Discussion questions related to the events were designed to stimulate engaging conversations through open-ended questions and to not burden memory recall or enforce stereotypes. Our work highlights potential future avenues for researchers and home and community-based organizations to use technology to promote social engagement.

Take a Bite! The Effect of Bitten Food in Pictures on Product Attitudes, Purchase Intentions, and Willingness to Pay

Food pictures in advertisements, on packages, and on social media often display food with a bite in it. We investigated the effect of pictures of food with a bite (vs. no bite) on product attitudes, purchase intentions, and willingness to pay. In two online experimental studies we tested this effect for both pictures without context, as well as pictures in an advertisement. We also investigated two theories that could lead to opposite effects: consumer contamination and embodied mental simulation. We found that a picture of food with a bite (vs. no bite) resulted in lower purchase intentions, and that this effect was mediated by disgust (i.e., consumer contamination). Furthermore, we found an interaction effect of picture type (i.e., bite vs. no bite) and context (i.e., no context vs. advertisement) on purchase intentions: the effect of picture type on purchase intentions was attenuated when the picture appeared in an advertisement (vs. when the picture is shown without context). We found similar effects on product attitudes and willingness to pay. Lastly, a picture of food with a bite (vs. no bite) had no effect on embodied mental simulation. Field practitioners are advised to take caution when using pictures of bitten food as this may lead to unfavorable consumer responses because of a feeling if disgust.

Conceptual representations in bicultural bilinguals: An ERP approach

We investigated conceptual representations for translation word pairs in bilinguals who learned their languages in different cultural contexts. Mandarin–English bilinguals were presented with a word, and then a picture, and decided if they matched. Both behavioural and ERP data were collected. In one session, words were in English and in another they were the Mandarin translations. Critical pictures matched the prior word and were either biased to Chinese or Canadian culture. There was an interaction of test language and picture type in RT and errors in the behavioural data, and in five components in the ERP data, indicating that the task was easier when the culture depicted in the picture was congruent with the language of the preceding word. These findings provide evidence that the specific perceptual experiences that bilinguals encounter when learning words in each language have an impact on the semantic features that are activated by those words.

A double-edged sword: Metaphor and metonymy through pictures for learning idioms

This study examined the impact that metaphorical pictures and semantic transparency had on meaning recall of English idioms for L2 learners. Twenty-seven idioms of differing semantic transparency (low, mid, and high) were selected and two types of pictures were drawn for each idiom. One picture type was a literal only representation while the other was a literal+figurative representation. These idioms and picture conditions (no picture, literal only, and literal+figurative) were counterbalanced and presented to student participants (n=64) via a PowerPoint input treatment. The delayed posttests measured meaning recall of the idioms’ L1 paraphrased meaning. The data showed that in absolute terms, literal-figurative pictures promoted better retention of meaning at all levels of transparency, but this finding was most robust for high-transparency idioms. However, a number of pictures, especially those with metonymical elements, led to overspecification, which has wider implications for pictorial input in general.

PERAN TIPE GAMBAR, TAGAR, JUMLAH LIKES DAN INFORMASI HARGA PADA INSTAGRAM TERHADAP INTENSI MEMBELI

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh desain visual post Instagram dalam hal tipe gambar, tagar, jumlah likes, dan caption berupa informasi harga, terhadap tingkat atensi visual pemirsa, dan intensi pembelian. Keempat elemen tersebut dihipotesiskan akan mempengaruhi atensi visual pemirsa, dan pada akhirnya mempengaruhi intensi membeli. Metode desain eksperimen digunakan untuk menguji hipotesis dengan alat bantu eye tracker untuk mengukur atensi visual. Instagram dari sebuah perusahaan UKM yang menjual tas tangan (pouch) digunakan sebagai objek penelitian. Delapan stimulus berpasangan (gambar produk dan konsumen) yang merupakan dummy post Instagram dirancang berdasarkan hipotesis penelitian, dan satu pasang stimulus post Instagram yang ada saat ini digunakan sebagai kontrol. Empat puluh partisipan dipaparkan kesembilan stimulus menggunakan pendekatan within subject design. Dari hasil statistik deskriptif, ditemukan bahwa partisipan lebih menyukai tipe gambar produk, dan stimulus yang paling disukai yang menampilkan caption keterangan harga, hashtag serta jumlah likes yang banyak. Uji statistik inferensial menunjukkan adanya perbedaan tipe gambar (gambar produk dan gambar konsumen) dan jumlah likes mempengaruhi tingkat atensi visual pemirsa, serta tidak ada hubungan antara tingkat atensi terhadap tampilan Instagram dengan intensi membeli. Abstract[Role Of Image Type, Hashtag, Number Of Likes And Pricing Information On Instagram Against Intensi Buying] This research is intended to investigate the influence of visual design of Instagram concerning picture type, hashtag, number of likes, and price information, on intention to buy. These elements are suggested to influence visual attention of the audience, and ultimately influence the intention to buy. Experiment design method is implemented to test the hypotheses using an eye tracker device to measure visual attention. An Instagram post from an SME offering pouch is used as a research object. Eight paired of dummy Instagram posts (the product picture and the consumer picture) are designed to test the research hypotheses, and a pair of existing Instagram post acts as a control stimulus. Forty participants are exposed to all of the stimuli using a within-subject design approach. Descriptive statistic analysis shows that participants like product picture more than consumer, and stimulus containing price information, hashtag, and many likes. Inferential statistic analysis shows that picture type and likes all influence visual attention and no significant relationship between visual attention and intention to buy.Keywords: Intention to buy; visual attention; statistic inferensia; desain eksperimen

Perceptual Balance, Stability, and Aesthetic Appreciation: Their Relations Depend on the Picture Type

It is widely assumed that the aesthetic appreciation of a picture depends, among others, on how well the picture’s composition is perceptually balanced, where “perceptual balance” is often defined analogous to mechanics. To what extent this metaphor holds for different picture types, however, is still open. Therefore, in this study, we examined the relationship between balance, liking, and some objective measures with pictures from an aesthetic sensitivity test. These stimuli could be divided into single-element, multiple-element, and dynamic-pattern pictures. The results show that “balance” is interpreted differently, depending on the stimulus type. Whereas “mechanical” balance was applied to assess single-element pictures, the balance of multiple-element and dynamic-pattern pictures was rated more in the sense of gravitational stability. Only for the multiple-element stimuli, there was a positive relation between balance/stability and liking. Together, our findings show that there are different types of balance, and that their relation with liking depends on the picture type.
