Abstract

In order to maximize total data base system effectiveness, it is becoming increasingly important to attend to psychological issues. This paper identifies issues in data base design and management where psychological considerations are likely to play a significant role. Specific studies that address some of these issues are reviewed. Next, a number of areas of basic psychological research that are likely to be of use to data base system designers are indicated. Finally, general recommendations and considerations for data base interfaces are given.
