Guiding, Not Railroading: Design and Evaluation of a Multi-Agent System for Narrative Redirection in Role-playing Games

Large Language Models (LLMs) are poised to revolutionize interactive storytelling, yet they introduce a fundamental HCI challenge: balancing player agency with the coherence of a pre-authored narrative. Existing LLM-driven Game Masters (GMs) often undermine the player experience by being overly compliant, leading to d…

Polite But Boring? Trade-offs Between Engagement and Psychological Reactance to Chatbot Feedback Styles

As conversational agents become increasingly common in behaviour change interventions, understanding optimal feedback delivery mechanisms becomes increasingly important. However, choosing a style that both lessens psychological reactance (perceived threats to freedom) while simultaneously eliciting feelings of surpris…

Grand Challenges around Designing Computers’ Control Over Our Bodies

Advances in emerging technologies, such as on-body mechanical actuators and electrical muscle stimulation, have allowed computers to take control over our bodies. This presents opportunities as well as challenges, raising fundamental questions about agency and the role of our body when interacting with technology. To…

"Alone and Adrift in Analytics" - Insights from Long-term Involvements with stroke Clinicians when Using Care Quality Monitoring Systems

Care quality improvement systems (CQIS) allow hospitals to monitor and improve their care by analysing performance data. However, many CQIS fail at helping clinicians improve as they see decreased use and stagnating care quality. In this paper, we investigate the use of one CQIS through ten qualitative activities carr…

Chaplains' Reflections on the Design and Usage of AI for Conversational Care

Despite growing recognition that responsible AI requires domain knowledge, current work on conversational AI primarily draws on clinical expertise that prioritises diagnosis and intervention. However, much of everyday emotional support needs occur in non-clinical contexts, and therefore requires different conversation…

CSCW '25Explainable AI (XAI)

Impact of Explanation Techniques and Representations on Users Comprehension and Confidence in Explainable AI

Local explainability, an important sub-field of eXplainable AI, focuses on describing the decisions of AI models for individual use cases by providing the underlying relationships between a model's inputs and outputs. While the machine learning community has made substantial progress in improving explanation accuracy…

Cognitive Forcing for Better Decision-Making: Reducing Overreliance on AI Systems Through Partial Explanations

In AI-assisted decision-making, explanations aim to enhance transparency and user trust but can also lead to negligence. In two separate studies, we explore the use of partial explanations to activate cognitive forcing and increase user engagement. In Study~I ($N = 264$), we present participants with weighted graphs a…

The Collaborative Work of Stewardship in Waste Management in Multi-tenant Apartment Buildings

This paper examines the collaborative work of residents, housing associations, and property owners, in a multi-apartment housing complex, to manage household waste. Framed within the feminist ecological perspective of digital environmental stewardship - that is, how diverse actors, motivations, and capacities producin…

Surveying Phone Anxiety Patterns, Perceptions, and Coping

Many people suffer from anxiety, commonly manifesting in avoidance behavior and stress. For example, they might not open letters because they suspect them to contain bad news. With the phone having taken on a central role in communication and service access, anxiety and avoidance also stem from and impact its use, suc…

The Impact of a Chatbot's Ephemerality-Framing on Self-Disclosure Perceptions

Self-disclosure, the sharing of one's thoughts and feelings, is affected by the perceived relationship between individuals. While chatbots are increasingly used for self-disclosure, the impact of a chatbot's framing on users' self-disclosure remains under-explored. We investigated how a chatbot’s description of its re…
