Research On Users' Moods In Search As Learning

With the progress and popularization of Internet and search engine technology,searching plays an increasingly important role in the daily information acquisition activities of netizen.In fact,searching,like listening,speaking,reading and writing,is a natural learning behavior.In recent years,search as learning has become a research hotspot in the field of information search,and has been widely concerned by the library and information science.However,searching information is not only by mastering a set of techniques or following certain rules to achieve the expected results,affective states or emotional experience during the search can influence search behavior,search strategies and learning outcomes.Therefore,it is necessary to study the moods of learning related search users in depth.In this dissertation,we first review the related research on users' moods,self-efficacy and task types in the field of information search,and then selected the self-efficacy in the field of information literacy——information literacy self-efficacy(ILSE)and learning related search task two factors as independent variables,and divide information literacy self-efficacy into two types,that is,low and high,at the same time,we set learning related search task to two types of shallow learning and deep learning.Then,the user experiment is carried out by using the method of psychological experiment design.The experiment design is inter group design.Finally,the information literacy self-efficacy scores of learning related search users and the PA and NA scores after information search were collected by ILSE and PANAS scales.The experiment found that: from the descriptive statistics,(1)the scores of positive moods generated by the high and low ILSE groups after completing the search task was higher than the scores of negative moods,and the PA scores generated by the users who completed different types of search task in the first and second groups was also higher than the NA scores.(2)after completing the search task,the high ILSE group experienced higher PA moods and lower NA moods than the low ILSE group;(3)subjects in group a who completed the shallow learning task producedmore PA moods and less NA moods.From the result of SPSS analysis,(1)there are significant differences between PA and NA scores in the high and low IISE groups.Information literacy self-efficacy has significant influence on the five indicators of "interested","proud","inspired","determined" and "active" in PA;and it has significant influence on five indicators of "upset","jittery","distressed" and "afraid" in NA;(2)task type has no significant effect on the PA and NA scores of learning related search users after completing tasks.It has significant effect on "enthusiastic" and "alert" in PA indicators and only has significant effect on irritable in NA indicators.(3)information literacy self-efficacy and task types have interactive effects on the PA moods generated after completing the search task,but not on the NA moods.Among the PA indicators,there is an interaction effect on "interested" and "active",while among the NA indicators,there is only an interaction effect on "upset".The research results suggest that we can improve the search experience and learning experience of learning related search users by enhancing the information literacy self-efficacy of users',and provide reference for the research and design of search system that can promote the learning in the search process and create rich learning space.
