A Review of Quantitative Empirical Approaches in Human-Computer Interaction
Javier Fernández Serrano, Silvia T. Acuña, José A. Macías · 2014
Experimentation plays a major role in the development and validation of new theories in the field of human-computer interaction (HCI). In this paper, we address quantitative empirical studies, an approach that has become the standard methodology for conducting research in HCI. This research provides an in-depth review, gathering a representative and relatively extensive collection of primary studies. We aim to identify relevant research lines in HCI in which quantitative approaches have been employed in order to construct a consistent and comprehensive taxonomy of quantitative approaches and form a broad picture of the procedures, tools and techniques employed. A systematic mapping study methodology has been adopted to produce reliable results in a reproducible and agile manner.
