Electronic Forms-Based Computing for Evidentiary Analysis
The paperwork associated with evidentiary collection and analysis is a highly repetitive and time-consuming process which often involves duplication of work and can frequently result in documentary errors. Electronic entry of evidencerelated information can facilitate greater accuracy and less time spent on data entry. This manuscript describes a general framework for the implementation of an electronic tablet-based system for evidentiary processing. This framework is then utilized in the design and implementation of an electronic tablet-based evidentiary input prototype system developed for use by forensic laboratories which serves as a verification of the proposed framework. The manuscript concludes with a discussion of implications and recommendations for the implementation and use of tablet-based computing for evidence analysis

An examination of computer-use ethics in Hong Kong and the United States
This study examines differences in individual ethical evaluations of computer-use scenarios between subjects in Hong Kong and the United States in an effort to better understand value differences that may be associated with differences in attitudes toward computer use expectations. Analysis indicates that although Hong Kong subjects generally take a more permissive view of ethical responsibility regarding computer use, they do not necessarily condone violations of ethical behavior. Results are discussed and implications for future research are addressed
A Cross-National Examination of Expected Correlation of Computer Ethical Perceptions and User Computer Attitudes
This study examined computer ethical perceptions and computer use attitudes among three differing groups consisting of nationalities from the United States, Singapore and Hong Kong. The purpose of the study was to determine if computer attitudes have a moderating effect on the perceptions of computer ethical use across multiple cultural backgrounds. Evidence supporting this claim would add additional insight into previously discovered differences. This study found limited support for the suggested hypotheses, but confirmed fundamental cultural differences. Future research should examine other variables to determine if significant effects can be determined from unexamined variable
Does Technology Thwart Gender Stereotypes? An Impression Formation-Based Examination of the Differential Influence of Technology across Gender and Messages
This research examines the relationship between gender, message sentiment, and technology use on the way that observers form impressions of others. Building on impression formation and gender stereotype research and theory, we develop a two-study research methodology for examining how impressions of technology users are formed. The results of our two studies indicate that technology use is an important component in impression formation, significantly inhibiting the effects of gender stereotyping, such that women and men are not evaluated differently based on their apparent competency in using technology nor on the content of their messaging. Our findings indicate that the use of technology subverts both the male and female stereotypes that observers normally engage
Selecting a Research Topic: A Framework for Doctoral Students
This article provides an explanation of the process for selecting a research topic. The article uses Kuhn’s classic work on scientific revolutions to delineate the steps in developing theoretical research within an area. The paper provides methods for preparing to develop a research topic, steps for approaching a research problem, as well as methods for problem theoretical development. We end the article with pitfalls that can occur when selecting a research topic as well as bright spots with regard to doctoral students beginning research in an area. Our hope is that this research will help beginning doctoral students start the process of developing a research topic by providing assistance with the overall process
PROCESS-CONTROL EFFECTS FOR TEAM-BASEDCOMPUTER-MEDIATED DECISION ANALYSES
As the evolution of research in Group Support Systems (GSS) continues, focus must begin to shift away from the concentration of GSS groups versus non-GSS groups, and begin to direct scrutiny toward the examination of the group dynamics that influence the experience of the teams that use GSS. The literature has clearly established that GSS improves the quality of certain decisions. The new challenge is to discover what processes within GSS are responsible for decision improvement and how they interact with other group processes extant in work situation
