Psychologen ermitteln zehn Webdesign-Gebote
Jeder Web-Designer kennt die typischen Regeln, wie professionell gestaltete Internet-Präsenzen auszusehen haben. Schnell im Aufbau, leicht zu bedienen und auch schön sollen sie sein. Psychologen der Technischen Universität Chemnitz sind diese Anforderungen allerdings zu ungenau. Sie haben deshalb innerhalb von vier Jahren im Rahmen der Chemnitzer Forschergruppe "Neue Medien im Alltag" mehr als 300 Internetnutzer auf ihre Surf-Gewohnheiten hin untersucht. Mittels Infrarottechnik erfassten die Psychologen die Blickbewegungen der Probanden, während diese Webseiten betrachteten. Gemessen wurden auch Lesezeit, Navigation und Erinnerungsvermögen.
