A FORCED-CHOICE INSTRUMENT FOR EVALUATING VISUAL INFORMATION DISPLAYS,

Abstract

An instrument (called the Analytic Profile System (APS)) for visual display evaluation was developed and subjected to an initial validation. The APS is based on seven factors derived from a multidimensional scaling analysis of the display-observer interface. Prose statements (items) were prepared covering these dimensions, were scaled for favorableness, and were then arranged in tetrad forced-choice format. The report presents results of investigations into the dimensional homogeneity, and into the concurrent validity, equivalence, and stability of the developed instrument. A copy of the final form is included. (Author)
