Abstract: This paper reports a comparative empirical investigation of the effects of content size on user satisfaction and customisation of five different personalised menu types: adaptable, adaptive split, adaptive/adaptable highlighted, adaptive/adaptable minimised and mixed-initiative menus. Two independent experiments were conducted, on small menus (17 items) and large menus (29 items) respectively. The experiment was conducted with 30 subjects and was tested empirically by four independent groups (15 subjects each). Results show that in small menus, the minimised condition was preferred overall, followed by the adaptable and hig-hlighted types. By contrast, in large menus, the mixed-initiative condition was the most strongly preferred, followed by the minimised approach.
