Proceedings of the ACM on Human-Computer Interaction

It is our great pleasure to introduce this issue of the Proceedings of the ACM on Human-Computer Interaction, which focuses on contributions from the research community on Supporting Group Work (GROUP). This thriving community is home to researchers ...

Developing AI/ML models and incorporating them into a product is complex work. While AI models are generally non-deterministic and have high capability uncertainty, the advent of foundation models further exacerbates the complexity of working with AI and ...

The upsurge in remote and hybrid work practices has prompted researchers to explore the technological, organizational, and psychological dimensions of remote work. However, the nuanced dynamics of balancing familial duties, especially care work for older ...

This study examines the intersection of academic pressure and sleep within Taiwanese families, revealing how cultural norms and expectations shape sleep practices. Through interviews and two-week diaries from eleven families, we found that academic ...

Literary approaches to design fictions, though previously theorized to be diverse in form and content, often fall within narrow stylistic and content boundaries such as speculative abstracts, memos, and studies. By drawing on a rich history of science ...

Virtual co-cooking gained visibility during the COVID-19 pandemic due to the increasing use of communication technology for social activities. However, available videoconferencing platforms are not well designed to support virtual co-cooking. Therefore, ...

Online communities are important spaces for members of marginalized groups to organize and support one another. To better understand the experiences of fat people - a group whose marginalization often goes unrecognized - in online communities, we ...

Adult children often help their older parents maintain independence at home, and this informal caregiving can be overwhelming and challenging to balance with other aspects of life. Yet, adult children's requirements tend to be overlooked when designing ...

Job interviews play a critical role in shaping one's career, yet practicing interview skills can be challenging, especially without access to human coaches or peers for feedback. Recent advancements in large language models (LLMs) present an opportunity ...

Misinformation on private messaging platforms like WhatsApp and LINE is a global concern. However, research has primarily focused on combating misinformation on public social media. Misinformation in private messaging platforms is difficult to challenge ...

This paper presents the results of a long-term exploratory study that examined the social and emotional impact of using a social robot with a variety of applications to promote activities for people with advanced dementia and their caregivers. ...

Content creators with marginalized identities are disproportionately affected by shadowbanning on social media platforms, which impacts their economic prospects online. Through a diary study and interviews with eight marginalized content creators who are ...

Sharing data with collaborators is a complicated task that is nonetheless fundamental to academic research. We present the results of two studies investigating data sharing within academic scientific collaborations, as well as a system called DriveGroups ...

Autistic children face significant challenges in vocal communication and social interaction, often leading to social isolation. There is evidence that Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) offers support to mitigate these challenges, enabling ...

Despite the increasing use of large language models (LLMs) in everyday life among neurodivergent individuals, our knowledge of how they engage with and perceive LLMs remains limited. In this study, we investigate how neurodivergent individuals interact ...

Hemorrhage, or severe blood loss due to injury, is a leading cause of preventable deaths after injury. This study uses and extends activity theory to understand the dynamics of team-based hemorrhage control during trauma resuscitation and to explore ...

Shared gaze, where collaborators can see each other's point of gaze visualized on their screen in real time, is a novel non-verbal mechanism that augments remote collaborations and increases shared awareness and common grounding. While past studies have ...

With rapid advancements in large language models (LLMs), generative AI (GenAI) is transforming people's life and work across various domains. Unlike previous AI technologies that are often feminized, most of these GenAI tools are non-gendered, ...

Cognitive presence and social presence are crucial for a comprehensive learning experience. Despite the flexibility of asynchronous learning environments to accommodate individual schedules, the inherent constraints of asynchronous environments make ...

Industry-sponsored capstone experiences that involve developing software solutions create valuable opportunities for students to engage in teamwork and learn important career skills just prior to joining the software workforce. The collaboration and ...

We conducted semi-structured interviews with 20 members who engaged in community-based effort to reverse overdoses using a smartphone-based app in an Eastern United States (U.S.) city. Drawing from feminist ethics of care, we identify how the caring ...

Practitioners dealing with large text collections frequently use topic models such as Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) and Non-negative Matrix Factorization (NMF) in their projects to explore trends. Despite twenty years of accrued advancement in ...

Investigating digital privacy behavior requires consideration of its contextual nuances and the underlying social norms. This study delves into users' joint articulation of such norms by probing their implicit assumptions and "common sense" surrounding ...

Psychological ownership over virtual and physical spaces in augmented reality can lead to tensions between collaborators, yet, there is still a significant challenge in understanding how psychological ownership manifests in shared AR and what that might ...

As the automotive industry evolves towards greater technological intelligence, multimodal in-vehicle interaction systems introduce new challenges, particularly in managing system latency-the delay between user input and system response. This study aims ...

Supporting practices around self-care is crucial for enabling older adults to continue living in their own homes and "ageing in place". While existing assistive technology and research concerning self-care practices have been centered on a medicalized ...

Content creators' self-promotion strategies play a significant role in their usage of social media. While these self-promotion practices have been extensively researched, there is less known in regards to content creators who produce adult content. Our ...

With the increasing adoption of automatic text classifications driven by AI, there is a growing need to explore their safe and accurate applications, particularly in sensitive online communities. Sentiment analysis of X (formerly known as Twitter) data ...

Software is crucial to science, but sustaining projects for long term impact is challenging. Scientists and funders look to ''the open source way'' (known as peer production in the organizational literature) as a promising route to sustainability. We ...

Responding to misinformation online can be an exhausting and thankless task. It takes time and energy to write effective content, puts users at risk of online harassment, and strains personal relationships. Despite these challenges, there are people who ...
