[Sigia-l] Hmmmm (wasIA/interaction of Location)

[Sean Lawrence]

I don't know about this term, PDIA, Psychology Driven IA.  It seems more
like an anthropological, enthographic approach which has been going on for
some time.  He doesn't cite any established methodological approach
(cognitive, behavoiral, etc.) either.  It appears to come from more of a
marketing approach but seems to seek the veneer of a Cognitive/Developmental
methodology.  I further find it unsavory as the writer doesn't appear to
have any remote background in Psych.or any Behavioral Science, for that
matter.  And IA inherently requires the practitioner to keep the users
thoughts, feelings, habits, etc. in mind.  That's why it's a user-centric
practice.  What's next Psychotherapy Driven IA?  IA that makes me feel
better about myself!
