Typology of the Scope of Generalization in User Behavior Study

이용자행태에 관한 경험적 연구의 양적인 발전에도 불구하고 연구방법이나 방법론적인 시각에서 이러한 연구들을 분석한 시도는 많지 않았으며, 방법론상 이론적인 틀의 부재 또한 지적되어왔다. 이와 같은 측면을 반영하여 본 연구는 최근에 수행된 이용자행태 연구를 대상으로 연구결과 일반화, 즉 외적타당성에 영향을 끼치는 요인들을 분석하였다. 연구대상은 최근 JASIST에 실린 이용자행태논문으로 하여 미국정보학계의 이 분야 연구특징 분석에 주안점을 두었다. 연구대상이 된 논문 별로 연구결과 일반화와 관련된 다양한 사례를 설명하고 각 사례별 유형을 식별한 후 이를 토대로 연구 방법론적 틀을 제시하였다.ABSTRACTWhile numerous studies have empirically investigated user behavior in LIS research community, less research has attempted to examine such studies in methodological perspective. Reflecting this, relevant studies have suggested the need to develop methodological framework for such studies. This study conducted content analyses of user behavior studies recently published in JASIST and analyzed factors which affect the external validity of result of such researches. The findings revealed various types and cases related to the generalization of the study results. Based on these, a methodological framework for user behavior studies were suggested.
