Description
Summary:碩士 === 聖約翰科技大學 === 工業工程與管理系碩士班 === 97 === The purpose of this research was to examine the effects of age, chopsticks characteristics and pinching tasks on performance and subjective ratings. Thirty elementary school students were recruited in present study and divided into three groups (8, 10 and 12 years old). Eight types of chopsticks had been evaluated on pinching two objects (corn snacks and chocolate balls). Results of ANOVA showed that the pinching performance was significant difference between ages. In addition, the pinching performance was better in applying the hexagon chopstick with particular length. By contrast, the stainless steel chopstick was the worse case. Thus, the hexagon chopstick could be suitable for children.
