Towards a feminist HCI methodology: social science, feminism, and HCI (2011, background): “Many of HCI’s scientific claims are framed in this way: e.g., the performance increases of a new interface [e.g., 32], the features and organization of team-based collaboration [e.g., 45], and measurable aspects of the users’ affective response to interaction [e.g., 48].”
Identifying the pitfalls for social interaction in computer-supported collaborative learning environments: a review of the research (2003, background): “Organizational researchers such as Olson and Olson (2000) note that ‘‘with the invention of groupware, people expect to communicate easily with each other and accomplish difficult work even though they are remotely located or rarely overlap in time’’ (p. 139).”
Beyond Bowling Together: SocioTechnical Capital (2001, background): “A long line of research has investigated various limitations of computer mediated interactions (Turoff, Hiltz et al. 2001) and there are good arguments that there may be inherent limitations to interaction at a distance that technology will never overcome (Olson and Olson 2001).”
Out of Sight, Out of Sync: Understanding Conflict in Distributed Teams (2003, background): “Differences also exist in the degree to which technologies facilitate the exchange of contextual information (Olson and Olson 2000, Clark and Brennan 1991).”
On-line trust: concepts, evolving themes, a model (2003, background): “Computer-mediated communication researchers study individual-to-individual trust relationships mediated through technology (Olson and Olson, 2000a, b).”
Whose Job Is It Anyway? A Study of Human-Robot Interaction in a Collaborative Task (2004, background): “N o t When assigned collaborative tasks with collocated colleagues, it is generally considered appropriate for people to share ideas, interact with one another, and engage in collaborative decision making (see Kraut, Fussell, Lerch, & Espinosa, 2002; Olson & Olson, 2000).”
Credibility in the blogosphere: A study of measurement and influence of wine blogs as an information source (2015, background): “The first approach focuses on computer-mediated communications in person-to-person relationships mediated through technology such as e-mail messages (Olson and Olson, 2000).”
