论文摘要
在这项探索性研究中，我们评估了与不同公民科学任务互动的老年人的参与，表现和偏好。在最近活动的40个项目中，我们选择了最重要的项目，由8种不同但标准化的微型掩体代表，每个类别的图像，音频，文本和图案识别中有2个。接下来，有33名老年人在家中执行了这些微型掩码，并在完成后立即评估了每个任务，最后分享什么可以鼓励他们在业余时间参与此类任务。根据结果，我们得出了有关老年人参与此类众包任务的动机的初步结论，并提出了一些任务设计指南，同时讨论了有趣的途径，以进一步询问老年人众包。
In this exploratory study we evaluated the engagement, performance and preferences of older adults who interacted with different citizen science tasks. Out of 40 projects recently active on the Zooniverse platform we selected top ones to be represented by 8 diverse, yet standardized, microtasks, 2 in each category of image, audio, text and pattern recognition. Next, 33 older adults performed these microtasks at home and evaluated each task right after its completion to, finally, share what could encourage them to engage with such tasks in their free time. Based on the results we draw preliminary conclusions regarding older adults' motivations for engaging with such crowdsourcing tasks and suggest some guidelines for task design while discussing interesting avenues for further inquiry in the area of crowdsourcing for older adults.
