Abstract

HCI research has identified a number of life events and life transitions which see individuals in a vulnerable state, such as gender transition, domestic abuse, romantic relationship dissolution, bereavement, and even genocide. Although these life events differ across the human lifespan, considering them as a group of 'sensitive life experiences', and exploring the similarities and differences in how we approach those experiences as researchers could be invaluable in generating a better understanding of them. In this workshop, we aim to identify current opportunities for, and barriers to, the design of social computing systems that support people during sensitive life events and transitions. Participants will take part in activities centred around exploring the similarities and differences between their own and others' research methods and results, drawing on their own experiences in discussions around carrying out research in these sensitive contexts.

Sensitive Research, Practice and Design in HCI
CHI EA '19: Extended Abstracts of the 2019 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems

New research areas in HCI examine complex and sensitive research areas, such as crisis, life transitions, and mental health. Further, research in complex topics such as harassment and graphic content can leave researchers vulnerable to emotional and ...
Stressful life events and problematic Internet use by adolescent females and males: A mediated moderation model

In a sample of 660 adolescents (M age=14.14years; 55% females), this study examined a mediated moderation model in which temperamental effortful control and sensation seeking moderated the relationship between stressful life events and problematic ...
The intuitive in HCI: a critical discourse analysis
NordiCHI '18: Proceedings of the 10th Nordic Conference on Human-Computer Interaction

The concept of the intuitive has been central to HCI practices for a long time, as is evident in both textbooks and research articles. However, while the notion of the intuitive is so often referred to and used in the literature, relatively little work ...
