DESCRIPTION

Michael Seufert, Karl Lorey, Matthias Hirth, Tobias Hoßfeld Gamification Framework for Personalized Surveys on Relationships in Online Social Networks. 1st International Workshop on Crowdsourcing and Gamification in the Cloud (CGCloud), Dresden, Germany, December 2013. Abstract: The estimation of psychological properties of relationships (e.g., popularity, influence, or trust) only from objective data in online social networks (OSNs) is a rather vague approach. A subjective assessment produces more accurate results, but it requires very complex and cumbersome surveys. The key contribution of this paper is a framework for personalized surveys on relationships in OSNs which follows a gamification approach. A game was developed and integrated into Facebook as an app, which makes it possible to obtain subjective ratings of users' relationships and objective data about the users, their interactions, and their social network. The combination of both subjective and objective data facilitates a deeper understanding of the psychological properties of relationships in OSNs, and lays the foundations for future research of subjective aspects within OSNs.

App diffusion

Concept:

The more of a user‘s friends participate… … the better the insights … the larger the information content

Diffusion among friends: Friends can be invited (active) Events (e.g., unlocking of reward) can be

published on profile wall/news feed (passive)

Outlook

EU FP7 project SmartenIT Improve traffic management in the Internet Utilize social information

Socially-aware traffic management Collaboration of trusting users Prediction of future demands of users

Objective data and metrics can be collected (more or less) easily

Models are needed to analyze these data and map them to subjective characteristics of relationships

Open questions

Which gamification element will increase the users‘ willingness to participate, spread the app, and disclose their personal data?

How to measure the success of the gamification design?

Does the gamification survey provide the same results as a classical survey?

How to integrate multiple tests on different characteristics?

How to successfully release/publish/advertise app?

?
