公众参与数字档案资源社会化开发项目动机研究

Research on Public’s Motivation to Participate in Socialized Exploitation of Digital Archival Resources

任何社会主体参与社会活动都受动机因素的影响。本文以认知心理学中的自我决定论为分析理论框架,通过对美国国家档案馆Citizen Archivist项目15位参与者的访谈,以及对参与笔者自建的档案资源开发平台“上大故事”平台资源开发的35位同学的问卷调查和访谈,发现公众参与数字档案资源社会化开发项目的动机是一个动态发展的过程:公众最初可能因为外在动机或内在动机参与,基于外在动机的参与行为也可能产生高质量的参与成果;在参与的过程中,参与者的动机会发生变化,造成参与动机变化的原因主要包括系统的功能可用性及参与主体所处群体的志愿者文化环境。了解公众参与数字档案资源社会化开发的动机,对确保数字档案资源社会化开发项目的可持续性发展至关重要。

That any social subject participates in social activities is due to motivations.Based on the SelfDetermination Theory as well as the interviews with 15 citizen archivists who participate in the’’Citizen Archivist’’project launched by NARA and the questionnaire and interviews with 35 students participating in the’’Shangda Story’’project,this paper concluded that the public’s motivations to participate in the socialized exploitation of digital archival resources are in the process of dynamic development:At the beginning,the public may participate out of extrinsic or intrinsic motivations,and they can create highquality products even if based on extrinsic motivations;while,the motivations of participants may change,and the factors that bring about the changes mainly include the affordance of system and the volunteer culture environment.Learning about the public’s motivations is significant for the sustainability of socialized exploitation of digital archival resources.
