Test environments in sound quality research often significantly differ from human’s everyday world. Hence the claim for ecological validity of such experiments is reasonable, but too vague in its bare formulation. The estimation of ecological validity requires theoretical knowledge about the meaning and the totality of factors influencing everyday listening and their interaction. Therefore the influence of “reality factors” on the sound evaluation of household appliances was investigated within the framework of nine experiments. These tests were performed in four different settings with varied reality degrees. The psychological realism and the perceived face validity of the tests were examined by means of interviews. The results reveal, on the one hand, that stimuli are perceived as more pleasant in everyday-like environments. The analysis of the relative judgments shows, on the other hand, that the influence of the experimental realism is moderated by a number of factors. These are the saliency and meaning of the sounds, differences between the assessed devices, and personality traits. The correlation and regression analysis confirms that the perceived sound character is widely independent from experimental realism. However, there is great empirical evidence, that valid assessments of sound quality require the reconstruction of everyday attention and action processes.
The article argues that European innovators can profit from some of the concepts of philosophical Daoism, namely "wu-wei" (non-interference) and "ziran" ("go with the flow"). Whereas most Western approaches to innovation emphasize the different stages of the creative process as well as tools to enhance creativity, the Daoist world view allows for the mind to just wander and thus spontaneously discover the solution to a problem in a rather detached state of mind. Creative minds need space for personal development and the permission to wander around without being exposed to control and instant judgement on the results. Training individuals in the tools and techniques of problem solving and creativity as the common approach in innovation management is certainly necessary, but in the end it is the intellectual accomplishment of a creative mind that produces innovation. Managers can allow this to happen when they get the balance of control and non-interference right.
Der Lehre an deutschen Hochschulen stehen, neben einer angespannten Finanzlage, nun auch die Herausforderungen gegenüber, die sich unmittelbar aus dem doppelten Abitur-Jahrgang ergeben (KMK, 2012; BMBF, 2013). Um den hieraus resultierenden Anforderungen besser zu entsprechen, liegt es nahe, sich intensiv mit digital gestützten Lehr-/Lernkonzepten zu befassen. Hierzu zählen z.B. auch digitale Lehrmaterialien, die, unter besonderer Berücksichtigung mobiler Endgeräte (Bitkom, 2012), in Form von interaktiven Lernmodulen distribuiert werden. Im Rahmen der eStudy-Aktivitäten des Fachbereichs Medien der FH Düsseldorf wurde eine Autorenumgebung konzipiert, die eine hocheffiziente Entwicklung von HTML5-basierten Lernmodulen mit interessanten Zusatzfunktionen erlaubt, die in vielfältigen Lehr-/Lernszenarien zum Einsatz kommen können.
