ABSTRACT
In the contemporary attention economy, tech companies design the interfaces of their digital platforms by adopting attention-capture dark patterns to drive their behavior and maximize time spent and daily visits. Two popular examples are viral recommendations and content autoplay on social networks. As these patterns exploit people’s psychological vulnerabilities and may contribute to technology overuse and problematic behaviors, there is the need of promoting the design of technology that better align with people’s digital wellbeing. This workshop seeks to advance this timely and urgent need, by inviting researchers and practitioners in interdisciplinary domains to engage in conversation around the design of interfaces that allow people to take advantage of digital platforms in a meaningful and conscious way.
