[AISWorld] Call for Papers for minitrack on User experience, human-computer interaction, and design of (dis)information AMCIS 2019

[Shah, Vishal]

Dear Colleagues,

We kindly invite you to submit your manuscripts to User experience, human-computer interaction, and design of (dis)information minitrack, under the Information Security and Privacy track of the 2019 AMCIS conference, which will take place on 15-17 August, 2019 in Cancun, Mexico Submission deadline is March 1, 2019. Following is a short description of the minitrack.


Minitrack Chair: Gustav Verhulsdonck, Central Michigan University, verhu1g at cmich.edu


This mini track seeks papers at the intersection of User Experience (UX) design, Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) and disinformation.  Design for user experiences is one way to tackle the problem of disinformation. Today’s technological devices may promote the engagement of a user by designers utilizing deep knowledge of the user’s behavior and psychology (Choi & Kim 2004; Chou & Ting 2003). Persuasive design and design for behavior motivate users to stay longer on a platform by “gaming” their behavior or decisions through the design of an interface (Fogg 2002; Lockton et al. 2010). It can range from simplifying a design with a clear call-to-action so that the user makes a purchase, coax them into staying on the platform, or from deceptive practices where threatening language is used to prevent users from opting in/out of policies (aka “confirmshaming”). Often, design practices can serve to clarify things for the user, but they may also utilize disinformation and serve the underlying economic motive of the platform. What mechanisms can help prevent disinformation from a design point of view?  Which design practices should UX designers consider to counter disinformation and develop more transparent, ethical design for users?


We encourage all types of papers dealing with the design of disinformation exploring issues of agency, platforms, and design in light of the challenges of user experience.



This mini-track welcomes all types of empirical and theoretical contributions. Possible topics include but are not limited to:


- Business models of internet companies and their relation to disinformation/misinformation
- Political and societal impacts of disinformation/misinformation
- Efficacy of measures to counter disinformation/misinformation
- Social bots and their impacts on changes in perception "usser experience"
- HCI perspectives on disinformation/misinformation
