eyeScrollR : A software method for reproducible mapping of eye-tracking data from scrollable web pages
(2024-04) Larigaldie, Nathanael; Dreneva, Anna; Orquin, Jacob L; Department of Business and Economics
The Internet has become an important part of our lives and an increasing number of researchers use eye-tracking technology to examine attention and behavior in online environments. Researchers, however, face a significant challenge in mapping eye-tracking data from scrollable web pages. We describe the R package eyeScrollR for mapping eye-tracking data from scrollable content such as web pages. The package re-maps eye-tracking gaze coordinates to full-page coordinates with a deterministic algorithm based on mouse scroll data. The package includes options for handling common situations, such as sticky menus or ads that remain visible when the user scrolls. We test the package’s validity in different hardware and software settings and on different web pages and show that it is highly accurate when tested against manual coding. Compared to current methods, eyeScrollR provides a more reproducible and reliable approach for mapping eye-tracking data from scrollable web pages. With its open code and free availability, we recommend eyeScrollR as an essential tool for eye-tracking researchers, particularly those who adhere to open-science principles. The eyeScrollR package offers a valuable contribution to the field of eye-tracking research, facilitating accurate and standardized analysis of eye-tracking data in web scrolling contexts.
The current role and contribution of “behavioural investigative advisers” (BIAs) to criminal investigation in the United Kingdom
(2024-03-26) Sigurdardóttir, Tinna Dögg; Rainbow, Lee; Gregory, Adam; Gregory, Pippa; Gudjonsson, Gisli Hannes
Purpose: The present study aims to examine the scope and contribution of behavioural investigative advice (BIA) reports from the National Crime Agency (NCA). Design/methodology/approach: The 77 BIA reports reviewed were written between 2016 and 2021. They were evaluated using Toulmin’s (1958) strategy for structuring pertinent arguments, current compliance with professional standards, the grounds and backing provided for the claims made and the potential utility of the recommendations provided. Findings: Consistent with previous research, most of the reports involved murder and sexual offences. The BIA reports met professional standards with extremely high frequency. The 77 reports contained a total of 1,308 claims of which 99% were based on stated grounds. A warrant and/or backing was provided for 73% of the claims. Most of the claims in the BIA reports involved a behavioural evaluation of the crime scene and offender characteristics. The potential utility of the reports was judged to be 95% for informative behavioural crime scene analysis and 40% for potential new lines of enquiry. Practical implications: The reports should serve as a model for the work of behavioural investigative advisers internationally. Originality/value: To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first study to systematically evaluate BIA reports commissioned by the NCA; it adds to previous similar studies by evaluating the largest number of BIA reports ever reviewed, and uniquely provides judgement of overall utility.
Association between physical activity over a 10-year period and current insomnia symptoms, sleep duration and daytime sleepiness : a European population-based study
(2024-03-26) Bjornsdottir, Erla; Thorarinsdottir, Elin Helga; Lindberg, Eva; Benediktsdottir, Bryndis; Franklin, Karl; Jarvis, Debbie; Demoly, Pascal; Perret, Jennifer L.; Aymerich, Judith Garcia; Dorado-Arenas, Sandra; Heinrich, Joachim; Torén, Kjell; Larsen, Vanessa Garcia; Jögi, Rain; Gislason, Thorarinn; Janson, Christer
Objectives To explore the relationship between physical activity over a 10-year period and current symptoms of insomnia, daytime sleepiness and estimated sleep duration in adults aged 39–67. Design Population-based, multicentre cohort study. Setting 21 centres in nine European countries. Methods Included were 4339 participants in the third followup to the European Community Respiratory Health Survey (ECRHS III), who answered questions on physical activity at baseline (ECRHS II) and questions on physical activity, insomnia symptoms, sleep duration and daytime sleepiness at 10-year follow-up (ECRHS III). Participants who reported that they exercised with a frequency of at least two or more times a week, for 1 hour/week or more, were classified as being physically active. Changes in activity status were categorised into four groups: persistently non-active; became inactive; became active; and persistently active. Main outcome measures Insomnia, sleep time and daytime sleepiness in relation to physical activity. Results Altogether, 37% of participants were persistently non-active, 25% were persistently active, 20% became inactive and 18% became active from baseline to follow-up. Participants who were persistently active were less likely to report difficulties initiating sleep (OR 0.60, 95% CI 0.45–0.78), a short sleep duration of ≤6 hours/night (OR 0.71, 95% CI 0.59–0.85) and a long sleep of ≥9 hours/night (OR 0.53, 95% CI 0.33–0.84) than persistently non-active subjects after adjusting for age, sex, body mass index, smoking history and study centre. Daytime sleepiness and difficulties maintaining sleep were not related to physical activity status. Conclusion Physically active people have a lower risk of some insomnia symptoms and extreme sleep durations, both long and short.
Reproducibility in Management Science
(2024-03-01) the Management Science Reproducibility Collaboration; Department of Business and Economics
With the help of more than 700 reviewers, we assess the reproducibility of nearly 500 articles published in the journal Management Science before and after the introduction of a new Data and Code Disclosure policy in 2019. When considering only articles for which data accessibility and hardware and software requirements were not an obstacle for reviewers, the results of more than 95% of articles under the new disclosure policy could be fully or largely computationally reproduced. However, for 29% of articles, at least part of the data set was not accessible to the reviewer. Considering all articles in our sample reduces the share of reproduced articles to 68%. These figures represent a significant increase compared with the period before the introduction of the disclosure policy, where only 12% of articles voluntarily provided replication materials, of which 55% could be (largely) reproduced. Substantial heterogeneity in reproducibility rates across different fields is mainly driven by differences in data set accessibility. Other reasons for unsuccessful reproduction attempts include missing code, unresolvable code errors, weak or missing documentation, and software and hardware requirements and code complexity. Our findings highlight the importance of journal code and data disclosure policies and suggest potential avenues for enhancing their effectiveness.
Social validation, reciprocation, and sustainable orientation : Cultivating “clean” codes of conduct through social influence
(2024-01) Otterbring, Tobias; Folwarczny, Michał; Department of Business and Economics
The current research examined the effectiveness of two social influence strategies—reciprocity and social validation—in promoting sustainable consumer behavior. In an initial behavioral field experiment (Study 1), consumers were either exposed to a reciprocity, social validation, or control message distributed in the changing rooms of a sporting goods store. The daily number of cleanups carried out by store employees were then monitored as a function of message type. Results revealed that messages based on reciprocity and social validation led to a significant reduction in the number of cleanups compared to the control message, with no significant difference between the reciprocity and social validation conditions. In a follow-up online experiment with increased rigor and control (Study 2), participants were randomly assigned to a reciprocity, social validation, or control condition and subsequently indicated their willingness to shop sustainably. Consistent with the findings from Study 1, both the reciprocity and social validation conditions outperformed the control condition regarding participants’ willingness to engage in sustainable consumer behavior, with no significant difference between the reciprocity and social validation conditions. Together, this research suggests that the strategic use of reciprocity or social validation messages can help store managers reduce the environmental impact of consumers’ shopping responses, while simultaneously decreasing operating costs.
