“…Also, system designers can prioritize particular barriers and enablers to design technology for the IGC setting. For IT designers with a strong background in developing applicable interventions based on the Design Science Research Methodology, the barriers can be used as an entry point for the research design process of problem identification or research entry points for objective solutions [94]) for positive design interventions [15]. Also, for IT designers who focus on human-centered design [91], the dimensions of the barriers, as well as the wellbeing determinants, can be used to develop user personas [91] and set the proposed wellbeing determinants as part of the goal or motivation for the IGC personas [7].…”

So far, researchers have used a wellbeing-centered approach to catalyze successful intergenerational collaboration (IGC) in innovative activities. However, due to the subject’s multidisciplinary nature, there is still a dearth of comprehensive research devoted to constructing the IGC system. Thus, the purpose of this study is to fill a research void by providing a conceptual framework for information technology (IT) system designers to use as a jumping-off point for designing an IGC system with a wellbeing-oriented design. A systematic literature study was conducted to identify relevant terms and develop a conceptual framework based on a review of 75 selected scientific papers. The result consists of prominent thematic linkages and a conceptual framework related to design technology for IGC systems. The conceptual framework provides a comprehensive overview of IGC systems in the innovation process by identifying five barrier dimensions and using six wellbeing determinants as IGC catalysts. Moreover, this study discusses future directions for research on IGC systems. This study offers a novel contribution by shifting the technology design process from an age-based design approach to wellbeing-driven IGC systems. Additional avenues for investigation were revealed through the analysis of the study’s findings.

“…Our study has only assessed the system based on the views of teachers and experts. One possible solution that can be implemented for further studies is to apply the Q-method to the DSR process [45]. The Q-method provides both quantitative and qualitative data that can help the system designer to understand the perceptions of the target user.…”

“…The method combines positive and negative aspects, which can be constructed on positive computing principles. An opinion can be presented not only in the form of text but also in the way of pictures and videos [45]. Thus it may be used to validate the proposed principles in refugee children.…”

Learning the German language is one of the most critical challenges for refugee children in Germany. It is a prerequisite to allow communication and integration into the educational system. To solve the underlying problem, we conceptualized a set of principles for the design of language learning systems to support collaboration between teachers and refugee children, using a Design Science Research approach. The proposed design principles offer functional and non-functional requirements of systems, including the integration of open educational resources, different media types to develop visual and audio narratives that can be linked to the cultural and social background. This study also illustrates the use of the proposed design principles by providing a working prototype of a learning system. In this, refugee children can learn the language collaboratively and with freely accessible learning resources. Furthermore, we discuss the proposed design principles with various sociotechnical aspects of the well-being determinants to promote a positive system design for different cultural and generational settings. Overall, despite some limitations, the implemented design principles can optimize the potential of open educational resources for the research context and derive further recommendations for further research.

“…Because of this, the Q methodology naturally lends itself to the use of abductive reasoning [55,72]. This approach encourages the development of hypotheses based on factual observations of system preferences [43,45,55] concerning chatbot use in an intergenerational workspace.…”

“…We conducted a Q methodology analysis as an impression method in order to address the research questions and develop an understanding of the various types of collaborators based on chatbots' subjective preferences [42,43]. The Q methodology systematically maps cognitive experiences onto a topic [44,45] or pattern with a similar perspective or subjectivity in a person or group of people [42,43,46].…”

Chatbot technology is increasingly emerging as a virtual assistant. Chatbots could allow individuals and organizations to accomplish objectives that are currently not fully optimized for collaboration across an intergenerational context. This paper explores the preferences of chatbots as a companion in intergenerational innovation. The Q methodology was used to investigate different types of collaborators and determine how different choices occur between collaborators that merge the problem and solution domains of chatbots’ design within intergenerational settings. The study’s findings reveal that various chatbot design priorities are more diverse among younger adults than senior adults. Additionally, our research further outlines the principles of chatbot design and how chatbots will support both generations. This research is the first step towards cultivating a deeper understanding of different age groups’ subjective design preferences for chatbots functioning as a companion in the workplace. Moreover, this study demonstrates how the Q methodology can guide technological development by shifting the approach from an age-focused design to a common goal-oriented design within a multigenerational context.
