CHI '26Honorable MentionSocial Robot Interaction +4

Privacy is Not One-Click: Designing Robots That Adapt to Older Adults’ Changing Boundaries

Social robots in the home bring new privacy risks and concerns for older adults. Yet, current technology privacy mechanisms typically use a one-time and universal consent mechanism (e.g., user agreement checkbox, browser cookie setting, etc.), lacking consideration of how privacy is holistically experienced. Designing…

The Hidden Load: Parenting Young Children While Leading in Critical Professions

Parenting while serving as a frontline leader is uniquely stressful, yet little is known about how family responsibilities shape physiological stress in these roles. We followed emergency physicians and tactical police leaders, comparing parents of young children with non-parents across four days: one critical mission…

A Little Too Personal: Effects of Standardization versus Personalization on Job Acquisition, Work Completion, and Revenue for Online Freelancers

As more individuals consider permanently working from home, the online labor market continues to grow as an alternative working environment. While the flexibility and autonomy of these online gigs attracts many workers, success depends critically upon self-management and workers' efficient allocation of scarce resourc…

A Human-Centered Systematic Literature Review of the Computational Approaches for Online Sexual Risk Detection

In the era of big data and artificial intelligence, online risk detection has become a popular research topic. From detecting online harassment to the sexual predation of youth, the state-of-the-art in computational risk detection has the potential to protect particularly vulnerable populations from online victimizati…

Emotional Footprints of Email Interruptions

Working in an environment with constant interruptions is known to affect stress, but how do interruptions affect emotional expression? Emotional expression can have significant impact on interactions among coworkers. We analyzed the video of 26 participants who performed an essay task in a laboratory while receiving e…

Progression Maps: Conceptualizing Narrative Structure for Interaction Design Support

Interactive narratives are frequently designed for learning and training applications, such as social training. In these contexts, designers may be inexperienced in storytelling and interaction design, and it may be difficult to quickly build an effective experience, even for experienced designers. Designers often app…

Email Makes You Sweat: Examining Email Interruptions and Stress Using Thermal Imaging

Workplace environments are characterized by frequent interruptions that can lead to stress. However, measures of stress due to interruptions are typically obtained through self-reports, which can be affected by memory and emotional biases. In this paper, we use a thermal imaging system to obtain objective measures of…

Effects of the Source of Advice and Decision Task on Decisions to Request Expert Advice

Automation has become a deeply integrated aspect of our everyday activities. Many factors affect whether we rely on and comply with recommendations that we receive, from both human and automated experts. In the present study, participants were presented with advice from either a human or automated expert to complete o…

CHI '18Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) & Neurofeedback

Meditation: A Performance Booster for BCI Applications

A key factor that a typical Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) demands of operators is concentration of mind. A focused mind is more effective in controlling a BCI. One way to improve mental concentration is meditation. Past studies have demonstrated the positive effect of long-term meditation (month-long to year-long) on…
