A cognitive-experiential approach to modelling web navigation
<20> Building on the work by Guo and Poole (2009), a staged model of Flow Experience of human-computer interaction is proposed and applied to web navigation. This work demonstrates the crucial role of the preconditions of Flow Experience in human-computer interaction. In an experiment, the preconditions of Flow Experience - but not flow experience proper - mediated the effects of artefact complexity, task complexity and intrinsic motivation (as a situation-specific trait) on both flow and task outcome. Based on the staged model of Flow Experience, a novel research framework is provided for understanding determinants and consequents of Flow Experience.
