Toet, A. (author), Brouwer, A.M. (author), van den Bosch, K. (author), Korteling, J.E. (author)Cognitive biases and heuristics are pervasive simplifications and distortions in judgement and reasoning that systematically affect human decision making. Knowledge in this area may enable us to foresee and reduce detrimental effects of biases or to influence others more effectively. We therefore performed a literature study to assess the...article 2016

Koldijk, S. (author), Kraaij, W. (author), Neerincx, M.A. (author)BACKGROUND: Stress in office environments is a big concern, often leading to burn-out. New technologies are emerging, such as easily available sensors, contextual reasoning, and electronic coaching (e-coaching) apps. In the Smart Reasoning for Well-being at Home and at Work (SWELL) project, we explore the potential of using such new pervasive...article 2016

Toet, A. (author), Houtkamp, J.M. (author), Vreugdenhil, P.E. (author)This study investigated whether personal relevance influences the affective appraisal of a desktop virtual environment (VE) in simulated darkness. In the real world, darkness often evokes thoughts of vulnerability, threat, and danger, and may automatically precipitate emotional responses consonant with those thoughts (fear of darkness). This...article 2016

de Regt, A. (author), Siegel, A.W. (author), Schraagen, J.M.C. (author)This paper aims to enhance tangibility of the resilience engineering concept by facilitating understanding and operationalization of weak resilience signals (WRSs) in the rail sector. Within complex socio-technical systems, accidents can be seen as unwanted outcomes emerging from uncontrolled sources of entropy (functional resonance). Various...article 2016

Schnittker, R. (author), Schmettow, M. (author), Verhoeven, F. (author), Schraagen, J.M.C. (author)We validated the usability of a new infusion pump interface designed with a situated Cognitive Engineering approach by comparing it to a reference interface using a novel testing method employing repeated measurements and process measures, in addition to traditional outcome measures. The sample consisted of 25 nurses who performed eight critical...article 2016

Schrieks, I.C. (author), Joosten, M.M. (author), Klöpping-Ketelaars, W.A.A. (author), Witkamp, R.F. (author), Hendriks, H.F.J. (author)Alcohol is often consumed to reduce tension and improve mood when exposed to stressful situations. Previous studies showed that moderate alcohol consumption may reduce stress when alcohol is consumed prior to a stressor, but data on the effect of alcohol consumption after a mental stressor is limited. Therefore, our objective was to study...article 2016

Kang, N. (author), Brinkman, W.P. (author), Birna Van Riemsdijk, M. (author), Neerincx, M. (author)Expressive virtual audiences are used in scientific research, psychotherapy, and training. To create an expressive virtual audience, developers need to know how specific audience behaviors are associated with certain characteristics of an audience, such as attitude, and how well people can recognize these characteristics. To examine this, four...article 2016

van Broekhoven, R. (author), Siegel, A.W. (author), Schraagen, J.M.C. (author), Noordzij, M.L. (author)This exploratory field study investigated the weak resilience signals of workload in a rail traffic control room. The goals of this research are to see whether real-time system information of a rail control post can be used to predict workload of a rail signaller in real-time, and to further improve this method. In order to investigate this...conference paper 2016

Korteling, J.E. (author), Brouwer, A.M. (author), van den Bosch, K. (author), Toet, A. (author)Cognitive heuristics and biases (H&B) have powerful influence on judgement and decisionmaking and thereby on human behavior. These (mainly unconscious) tendencies may thus also have high impact in many military situations and circumstances. This counts for the own organization as well as for direct opponents and neutral actors, such as coalition...report 2016

van der Zee, S.C. (author), Anderson, R. (author), Poppe, R. (author)Fraud is a pervasive and challenging problem that costs society large amounts of money. By no means all fraud is committed by ‘professional criminals’: much is done by ordinary people who indulge in small-scale opportunistic deception. In this paper, we set out to investigate when people behave dishonestly, for example by committing fraud, in an...article 2016
