Popis: In many different kinds of complex forms (financial, job applications, etc.), information button widgets are used to give context-specific information to enable users to fill out forms completely. However, in longer forms, “decision fatigue” can set in, leading to the user not absorbing these helpful tips but rather rushing through and possibly making errors. This research seeks to identify if using a more engaging version of the traditional information button widgets will reduce decision fatigue, preventing errors and increasing information retention. The research experiment involved a user study asking participants to fill out a tax form with information provided to them about a fictional person, with one group of participants given a form with traditional information widgets and another group being given a form with more engaging information button widgets. The results of this experiment show that the information button has no effect on the completion of financial forms or in reducing decision fatigue associated with filling out forms.
