Aesthetics is advocated as a key factor influencing consumer judgment and preference; however, research in IS and HCI has paid limited attention to it until recently. This study investigated the effects of website aesthetics, along with website usability, on users’ online purchase intention. Additionally, the moderator of task involvement was introduced to explain how aesthetics influences util...

This paper investigates the problem of automated text aesthetics prediction. The availability of user generated content and ratings, e.g. Flickr, has induced research in aesthetics prediction for non-text domains, particularly for photographic images. This problem, however, has yet not been explored for the text domain. Due to the very subjective nature of text aesthetics, it is difficult to co...

Thus, recent research suggests that the visual aesthetics of computer interfaces is a stro...

Visual aesthetics has been shown to critically affect a variety of constructs such as perceived usability, satisfaction, and pleasure. Given the importance of visual aesthetics in humancomputer interaction, it is vital that it is adequately assessed. The present research aimed at providing a precise operational definition and to develop a new measure of perceived visual aesthetics of websites. ...

Some of the prominent scholars (Corbin, Burckhardt, Nasr, Ringgenberg et al.) refering to Ibn ‘Arabi’s mystical notions, have tried to show that the specific aesthetics o...
