持续参与是数字公民科学计划成功的关键，但目前的文献大多集中在绘制人们的动机，而不考虑参与的程度是持续的时间。我们进行了为期一年的实验研究（n = 85）“在野外”，探讨人类价值取向对使用数字公民科学工具的影响。2018-2019年，参与者在芬兰拉彭兰塔参与了数字公民科学工具的共同设计和使用。我们的统计分析发现了价值取向、持续参与以及数字互动的数量和质量之间关系的证据。具体而言，我们发现，价值取向与不同的使用模式。例如，具有较强的开放性变化（OTC）价值观的人倾向于使用移动的应用程序来检查其他人的提交，即使他们没有什么要提交的，而具有较强安全价值观的人大多在他们有相关内容要提交时使用该应用程序。进一步了解数字公民科学中人类价值观的影响是未来研究的一个有前途的领域，可以有助于a）指导激励机制的设计，B）了解在线社区的用户体验，以及c）为数字公民科学技术的设计和评估提供信息。
Sustained participation is critical to the success of digital citizen-science initiatives, yet much of the current literature focuses on mapping people's motives to engage without considering the extent to which participation is sustained over time. We conducted a year-long experimental study (n = 85) "in-thewild" to explore the effects of human-value orientations on the use of digital citizen-science tools. Participants took part in both the codesign and use of digital citizen-science tools in Lappeenranta, Finland from 2018-2019. Our statistical analysis finds evidence of relations between value orientations, sustained participation, and the number and quality of digital interactions. Specifically, we find that value orientations are linked with different usage patterns. For instance, people with a stronger openness-to-change (OTC) values tended to use the mobile application to check others' submissions, even when they had nothing to submit, whereas people with stronger security values mostly used the application when they had something relevant to submit. Further understanding the influence of human values in digital citizen science is a promising area for future research that could contribute to a) guide the design of incentive mechanisms, b) understand user experiences in online communities, and c) inform the design and evaluation of digital citizen-science technologies.
