“…Another team makes the changes and, finally, yet another group of workers reviews and approves the work. Similar algorithmic techniques have been used to crowdsource encyclopedia articles (Kittur, Smus, Khamkar, & Kraut, 2011), poetry translations (Kittur, 2010), travel itineraries (Zhang et al, 2012), fashion tips (Burton et al, 2012), and visual assistance for the visually impaired (Bigham et al, 2010). In all cases, worker recruitment, worker training, worker coordination, and quality control are coordinated entirely through code.…”

Recent advances in crowdsourcing have led to new forms of assistive technologies, commonly referred to as crowd-powered devices. To best serve the user, these technologies crowdsource human intelligence as needed, when automated methods alone are insufficient. In this paper, we provide an overview of how these systems work and how they can be used to enhance technological interventions for positive psychology. As a specific example, we describe previous work that crowdsources positive reappraisals, providing users timely and personalized suggestions for ways to reconstrue stressful thoughts and situations. We then describe how this approach could be extended for use with other positive psychological interventions. Finally, we outline future directions for crowd-powered positive psychological interventions.

“…This is somewhat echoed in assistive crowdsourcing systems such as VizWiz ii [5,15], a service that allows people with VI to pose questions about a visual problem (captured through a photo) either to Mechanical Turk iii or peoples' wider social network on Facebook [8]; as well as in ethnographic work of co-constructed accessibility in the home [9] and at work [10]. However, outside routine environments in which access to information can be pre-configured or better planned for, the reaching out to other people for help becomes a different challenge for technology to assist.…”

“…Examples include systems to support spatial awareness and navigation [12,13,21,22,26,62], to aid the identification of specific objects or their characteristics [5,14,15], to assist the detection and identification of text [17], barcodes [31], signs [18,51], or currency [32], and help with handwriting [43]. For digital user interfaces, we further find many applications for the input and recognition of Braille on touchscreens [3,27,34,52], and alternatives for text-entry or navigating digital menus [7,38,24,25,63].…”

Abstract-Performance on crowdsourcing platforms varies greatly, especially for tasks requiring significant cognitive effort or creative insight. Researchers have proposed several techniques to address these problems, yet few have considered the role of affect, despite the well-established link between positive affect and creative performance. In this paper, we examine two affective techniques to boost creativity on crowdsourcing platforms -affective priming and affective pre-screening. Across three experiments, we find divergent results, depending on which technique is used. We find that not all happy crowdworkers are alike. Those that are primed to feel happy exhibit enhanced creative performance, whereas those that merely report feeling happy exhibit impaired creative performance. We examine these findings in light of preexisting research on creativity, affect, and mood saliency. Lastly, we show how our findings have implications not only for crowdsourcing platforms, but also for other human-computer interaction scenarios that involve affect and creative performance.
