چکیده
We present findings, which suggest that volunteer participants for user studies are not a representative sample of the general population, but are more extrovert and open personalities. Since it has been shown by other workers that personality and other social factors influence user evaluation of computer media, this suggests a need for the field of HCI to consider the possible non-representativeness of user studies based solely on volunteer participants.
