Abstract: The present study examined the influence of different reading goals on reading in a hypertext environment. The study focused on text based electronic documents. The study was an independent samples design experiment with three different conditions. Ninety participants read the hypertext allocated into three different conditions and then, all answered the same set of questions. The results show that reading goals did not influence reading times, comprehension scores, and amount of visited links. The data also r… Show more

“…Therefore researchers attempt to assess participants' comprehension of a given text by asking them to summarise or to recall, or to answer questions about it, or even all of it together [40]. A previous analysis [39,41,42] on the data failed to reveal significant differences between the groups with different reading goals. Consequently the data were collapsed across gender, and as a result the only independent variable considered here is gender.…”

“…In a previous analysis of the think-aloud protocols [39,41,42] three such rules were revealed: coherence, personal interest, and link position. However, there is not enough data to investigate the personal interest since only a few participants verbalised their interest.…”

“…The reading goals were manipulated by providing different instructions about what the participants should read in the text. A previous analysis [35][36][37] on the data failed to reveal significant differences between the groups with different reading goals. Consequently the data were collapsed across gender, and as a result the only independent variable considered here is gender.…”
