Abstract

This paper presents the application of Motivation/Attitude-driven Behavior (MADB) model proposed by Wang (Wang, 2007a) in the e-learning context. The authors' work demonstrates how mathematical models and formal cognitive processes is developed based on menu search task. The effects of menu design on stress perceptions, motivation and attitudes during the search tasks are being examined. The correlations between emotion (stress perception), motivation, attitude, decision, behavior and mouse behavior are studied. The authors' findings are consistent with what was proposed by Wang. They also found that behavior is significantly correlated to mouse dynamics, such as mouse speed, mouse idle duration and mouse left click rate. Generally strong behavior strength results in slower mouse movements. The significant effect of behavior on mouse dynamics may be caused by motivation and decision, but not attitude and stress perception.
