Attention-Capture Damaging Patterns in UI Design: In Search of a Socio-Technical Mitigation Strategy

Abstract
This paper discusses the potential effects of Attention-Capture Damaging Patterns (ACDPs) in designing socially and culturally sensitive interfaces based on their mechanisms and psychological impacts on users. Building on the concept of “dark patterns” and examining how they contribute to social polarization, this study explores the intersection between digital interface design, digital wellbeing, and polarization. The paper analyzes several examples of ACDPs present in popular social media apps and platforms such as Instagram, TikTok, WhatsApp, and Facebook, proposing a new taxonomic approach based on three main categories. In addition, a set of alternative design strategies that promote healthier interactions on digital platforms are discussed to mitigate the negative effects of these patterns and promote a more balanced digital environment.

Inclusive Interactions for Place-Belongingness: Lessons from Citizen Science

CEUR Workshop Proceedings

Abstract
The active involvement of marginalized and vulnerable groups such as migrants and newly arrived refugees in the development of local communities has been part of many agendas across the EU and around the world. Despite the lessons gleaned from more than three decades of IUI research, there is still a shortage of systematic understanding and concrete guidance on how to design more socially inclusive and culturally sensitive interfaces targeted to these populations. In this paper, we argue that community-based citizen science approaches hold the potential to foster people-place bonds and inform the design of inclusive interactions since these initiatives are typically open to a wide audience regardless of race, ethnicity, gender, and education. From portable environmental monitoring devices to open databases providing place-related data about species observations and environmental threats, citizen scientists have a socially transformative and place-development potential that is often overlooked from an interaction design perspective. This research investigates this gap by examining digital interactions in citizen science through a systematic literature review addressing interaction possibilities for digitally enhanced place-belongingness. The results indicate three interaction themes within citizen science literature contributing to digitally enhanced sense of place-belonginess: place awareness and involvement, experience sharing, and collaboration encouragement. In addition, we found that the inclusivity goals in citizen science initiatives typically vary from urban and rural development to cultural purposes and environmental engagement and conservation. The interaction themes, along with the negative impacts of digital technologies, are discussed regarding their potential to inform technology design for place-belongingness in HCI.

'Is It Future or Is It Past?': From Self-contained Microtasks to AI-driven Collaborative Crowdsourcing

Abstract
Interest in artificial intelligence (AI)-driven crowd work has increased during the last few years as a line of inquiry that expands upon prior research on microtasking to represent a means of scaling up complex tasks through AI mediation. Despite the increasing attention to the macrotask phenomenon in crowdsourcing, there is a need to understand the processes, elements, and constraints underlying the infrastructural and behavioral aspects in such form of crowd work when involving collaboration. To this end, this paper provides a first attempt to characterize some of the research conducted in this direction to identify important paths for an agenda comprising key drivers, challenges, and prospects for integrating human-centered AI in collaborative crowdsourcing environments. © 2025 IEEE.
