Dark patterns are increasingly ubiquitous in digital services and regulation, describing instances where designers use deceptive, manipulative, or coercive tactics to encourage end users make decisions that not their best interest. Research regarding dark has also increased significantly over the past several years. In this systematic review, we evaluate literature (n=79) from 2014 2022 empirically described order identify presence, impact, user experience of these as they appear systems....
HCI researchers are increasingly concerned about the prevalence of manipulative design strategies in user interfaces, commonly referred to as "dark patterns". The line between manipulation and persuasion is often blurred, leading legal ethical concerns. This paper examines tension persuasive UX practices designs. UX/UI professionals (n=22), split into eight focus groups, conducted activities on two fictitious scenarios. We qualitatively analysed their discussions regarding for influencing...
A cookie banner pops up when a user visits website for the first time, requesting consent to use of cookies and other trackers variety purposes. Unlike prior work that has focused on evaluating interface (UI) design banners, this paper presents an in-depth analysis what banners say users get their consent. We took interdisciplinary approach determiningwhat should say. Following legal requirements ePrivacy Directive (ePD) General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), we manually annotated around...
Deceptive, manipulative, and coercive practices are deeply embedded in our digital experiences, impacting ability to make informed choices undermining agency autonomy. These design practices—collectively known as "dark patterns" or "deceptive patterns"—are increasingly under legal scrutiny sanctions, largely due the efforts of human-computer interaction scholars that have conducted pioneering research relating dark patterns types, definitions, harms. In this workshop, we continue building...
Designers incorporate values in the design process that raise risks for vulnerable groups. Persuasion user interfaces can quickly turn into manipulation and become potentially harmful those groups realm of intellectual disabilities, class, or health, requiring proactive responsibility approaches design. Here we introduce Capability Sensitive Design Approach explain how it be used proactively to inform designers' decisions when comes evaluating justice their designs preventing risk manipulation.
There is a growing concern about the use of manipulative mechanisms in online interfaces and underlying harm to users' autonomy under label 'dark patterns'. The effect these mechanisms, especially vulnerable populations, still under-researched. present doctoral dissertation aims understand conditions which users are less likely resist manipulation, following idea digital inequalities designs. This expects contribute two ways. First, bringing empirical insights effectiveness low skilled...
