Abstract

In this work, we address the question of how older adults may integrate information about the reliability of website information in their health-related searches. In two experiments, we compared three visual reliability indicator designs; an icon set, a simple graph and a textual list combined with website preview. Our results suggest that older adults can incorporate reliability indicators into their website judgments without significantly increasing decision time. The design of the visual indicators, however, significantly affects such ability.
