Abstract

This chapter describes how the research for developing quantitative measures for misinforming originated. The original circumstances lead to identify that the problem of misinforming exists and deserves quantified measuring, and to initiate research on how to measure the likelihood of the risk of misinforming. These circumstances have completely different objectives and the construction of the initial model to quantify the risk of misinform was developed to illustrate the needs for paying attention to users in designing interface in a computer application. The aim was to expose that users could be misled by information acquired in information system and the importance of carefully designed user interface to avoid misinforming. The original idea was to illustrate for a potential information systems designer the importance of considering the end-users' background and the way they adopt information.
