人机交互（HCI）领域的研究人员长期以来一直在为老年人开发技术。最近，研究人员正在对这些方法进行批判性反思。物联网是这些相互冲突的话语融合的一个领域，可能部分是由政府和行业利益驱动的。本文介绍了衍射分析作为一种方法，检查差异产生新的经验理解我们的方法和我们研究的主题。我们对在物联网设计研讨会上收集的数据集进行了三次分析，然后进行了衍射分析。我们提出的主题，从这个分析的方式，参与者都刻在我们的研究，考虑有关的可转移性和新奇之间的工作集中在老年人和其他工作，以及有关方法的见解。我们的讨论有助于影响研究人员组成团队，并考虑他们在研究中的作用，以及建议衍射分析如何支持其他研究议程。
Researchers in Human–Computer Interaction (HCI) have long developed technologies for older adults. Recently, researchers are engaging in critical reflections of these approaches. IoT for aging in place is one area around which these conflicting discourses have converged, likely in part driven by government and industry interest. This article introduces diffractive analysis as an approach that examines difference to yield new empirical understandings about our methods and the topics we study. We constructed three analyses of a dataset collected at an IoT design workshop and then conducted a diffractive analysis. We present themes from this analysis regarding the ways that participants are inscribed in our research, considerations related to transferability and novelty between work centered on older adults and other work, and insights about methodologies. Our discussion contributes implications for researchers to form teams and account for their roles in research, as well as recommendations how diffractive analysis can support other research agendas.
