When AI Gets It Wrong: Scaffolding AI Hallucination Detection for Children Through Chatbot Creation

Children increasingly interact with generative AI systems that can produce hallucinated content, potentially reinforcing misconceptions and undermining critical thinking skills. We investigate how children detect and respond to hallucinations while building and testing LLM-powered chatbots in a development environment…

“Synchronized parenting is like mixing oil and water”: Reimagining Parental Control for Co-parenting in the Divorced Households

Children from divorced households are granted access to devices (e.g., smartphones, tablets), helping them to maintain meaningful contact with both parents. However, regulating their device usage across two households presents unique co-parenting challenges, which are little studied in the existing literature on paren…

One Size Doesn’t Fit All: Towards Design and Evaluation of Developmentally Appropriate Parental Control Tool

As children progress through developmental stages, they undergo substantial biological, cognitive, and social changes, creating unique needs for online safety across different age groups (e.g., young children, tweens, teens). The existing parental control tools fail to account for these differences, leaving a notable…

Priming through Persuasion: Towards Secure Password Behavior

Users tend to create weak passwords even for the important accounts. The prior research shed light on user's insecure password behavior, and why the interventions, including requirement specification (e.g., password composition policies) and feedback systems (e.g., password meters) fail in practice. To this end, we pr…

Leveraging the Power of Storytelling to Encourage and Empower Children towards Strong Passwords

With the increasing use of computer and smartphones by children, their online safety has been of major concern due to their limited security knowledge and skills. User authentication is pivotal for their security protection, where a body of work focused on children's password practices. The insights from these studies…

“It’s hard for him to make choices sometimes and he needs guidance”: Re-orienting Parental Control for Children

With access to devices and online platforms at an increasingly younger age, it is essential to protect children from potential online risks. In our studies, we particularly focused the parents who have a child under 13 years of age. To this end, deriving from developmental psychology, we base our low-fidelity prototyp…

“I feel like he’s looking in the computer world to be social, but I can’t trust his judgement”: Reimagining Parental Control for Children with ASD

Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) often seek comfort from devices (e.g., smartphones) to deal with social overstimulation. However, such reliance exposes them to inappropriate digital content and increases susceptibility to mimicry and social vulnerability. Thus, parents having children with ASD encounter u…

A First Look into Targeted Clickbait and its Countermeasures: The Power of Storytelling

Clickbait headlines work through superlatives and intensifiers, creating information gaps to increase the relevance of their associated links that direct users to time-wasting and sometimes even malicious websites. This approach can be amplified using targeted clickbait that takes publicly available information from s…

A Deep Dive into User's Preferences and Behavior around Mobile Phone Sharing
