mapping stimulus/factor identifiers to it. This approach should make implementing designs easier
and less susceptible to error.
1028.132 Information system for gender study, Estela Arcos, Irma Molina, Rosa Eugenia
Trumper, Liliana Larrañaga, Patricia Tomic, Universidad Austral de Chile, Chile
This social study utilizing mixed, qualitative and quantitative methods in the research activities
about gender in the field education. Specifically the framework analyses outcomes that emerge
from two methods were employed sequentially and independently. Quantitative survey to 252
students of Universidad Austral of Chile, and qualitative workfield with ten focus groups. The
researchers analyzes the relationships between these two dimensions that to lead for complemetary
information for better understanding about gender.
1028.133 Gender and age differences of vocational interest in Korea, Wan-suk Gim 1 , Jong-Won
Park 2 , 1 Ajou University, Korea, Republic Of, 2 Graduate School of Ajou University, Suwon, Korea
This study examined gender and age differences in vocational interest in Korean. The first
hypothesis was there will be differences in vocational interest type between male and female
groups, and the second one was that this differences will be revealed more in the job title
preference scale than other scales. Finally, we predicted those differences will be greater in
older-age group than in younger-age group. A Holland's theory was used to examine 10 groups of
400,000 participants. Results could be interpreted as supporting our hypotheses. Implications for
development of vocational interest test in East Asian countries were discussed.
1028.134 Quantifying user-navigation patterns: A methodological proposal, Pei-Chun Shih,
Dolores Muñoz, Flor Sanchez, Ruben Mate, Universidad Autonoma de Madrid, Spain
How people navigate hypertext? How users behave in the Web? These questions are important for
a better understanding of human-computer interaction phenomena (i.e. lost in hyperspace), as well
as for a more efficient developing of hypermedia tools (i.e. Web-based training program).
Researchers interested in the user navigation behaviour can count on data about user actions and
navigational paths thanks to server log files. However, to get quantitative measures is not a easy
job. In this study, we explored two numerical path metrics developed from graph theory (Botafogo,
R.A., et al., 1992; McEneaney, J.E., 2001). Empirical results will be exposed.
1028.135 Ranking remotely: Q-sorting over the Internet, Christopher Correa, University of
Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, USA
The internet can be used to collect and store data from participants all over the world, and this
presentation will demonstrate an online q-sort tool that we have developed and used in
psychological studies. Q-sorting on the web differs from other survey methods in that it allows
participants to interactively rank-order and sort items on screen. We will discuss the challenges
and successes experienced in the development of this particular tool.
