“…In Hong Kong, where the current study took place, buskers can be arrested for soliciting tips in public places, whereas in Australian cities such as Melbourne and Sydney, street performance is legal and regulated through a licensing system (City of Melbourne, n.d.; City of Sydney, 2019). Over the years, research on street performance has mostly focused on performances and performers (Carlin, 2014; Gomes, 2000; Harrison-Pepper, 1990; Kaul, 2014; Marina, 2018; Moore, 1974; Prato, 1984; Press & McNamara, 1975; Rebeiro Gruhl, 2017; Tanenbaum, 1995) and there is a surprising lack of attention paid to the perspective of the audience. This article takes a psychological approach to focus on the audience of street performance, that is, street audience .…”

Street performance (busking) is a historically and culturally important topic. This article focuses on street audience experience (SAE) and highlights the environmental factor of street environment, which has not been fully acknowledged in SAE research. The current study examines how street audience’s experience and satisfaction of busking performances can be influenced by street-environment suitability, which refers to the street audience’s evaluation of the street environment as a preferable “venue” for street performances. Furthermore, the current study examines the antecedent of street-environment suitability, street-environment experience, which is captured by the street audience’s evaluation of the street environment in terms of visual aesthetics, acoustic comfort, and perceived crowding. We staged a musical busking performance as a field experiment across four locations in Hong Kong and surveyed a total of 201 respondents. Structural equation modeling analyses established two lines of findings. First, a street environment that is considered as more suitable for street performance is associated with higher SAE and overall satisfaction with the performance. Second, a street environment that is perceived as more positive in terms of visual aesthetics, acoustic comfort, and perceived crowding is considered as more suitable for street performance. Our results validate the importance of street environment in understanding the experience of street performances.

“…This study considers the consumptive attributes of donation behaviors and posits that users' intention to donate does not only depend on their attachments to the authors, but users may also be attracted to articles through their external characteristics, without even having any devotion to the author (Carlin, 2014). Donors donate to authors as payment for services consumed, especially on social media platforms where content creators are not broadcasting live (Y.…”

Examining the Antecedents of User Donation Intentions Toward Social Media Articles: Moderation Effects of Social Contagion

Donations to articles on social media, as a new behavior, have been trending in recent years. Unlike donations to a charitable and nonprofit organization or victims, donations to social media articles have been accorded minimal attention from academic researchers. From the stimuli–organism–response framework, this study proposed a model to investigate the factors that influence the donation intentions of users on social media toward articles. Our results demonstrate that the credibility of the article determines users’ donation intentions. The results also indicate that the perceived value (usefulness and enjoyment) of the article mediates the effects of article credibility on users’ donation intentions. The social contagion nature of the article is also proven to moderate the magnitude of impacts on donation intention by users’ perceived usefulness, perceived enjoyment, and perception of article credibility.

“…Looking beyond the HCI literature, there are several nontechnical cases that illustrate the occurrence of honeypot effects in urban settings. A common example is street performance by musicians and dancers, who face an initial task of drawing an audience to their performance [14]. By creating a crowd, their performance functions as a honeypot and draws the attention of passersby, maintaining the size of the audience over time.…”

Can Mobile Augmented Reality Stimulate a Honeypot Effect?

In HCI, the honeypot effect describes a form of audience engagement in which a person's interaction with a technology stimulates passers-by to observe, approach and engage in an interaction themselves. In this paper we explore the potential for honeypot effects to arise in the use of mobile augmented reality (AR) applications in urban spaces. We present an observational study of Santa's Lil Helper, a mobile AR game that created a Christmas-themed treasure hunt in a metropolitan area. Our study supports a consideration of three factors that may impede the honeypot effect: the presence of people in relation to the game and its interactive components; the visibility of gameplay in urban space; and the extent to which the game permits a shared experience. We consider how these factors can inform the design of future AR experiences that are capable of stimulating honeypot effects in public space.
