Is anyone out there?!?
Can anybody hear me!
Why do my interfaces cause seizures?
Who keeps feeding all of these trolls!
Man, I could use a coffee...
...and a friend.
#CMCnUXD

Who are you?!?
...and where’s your coffee...

maybe you shouldn’t be doing it in the first place.”

Communication Privacy
Management theory deals with
how we manage access to our
personal content …
Petronio (2002)
Our (social) iBubbles
#CMCnUXD

...and sometimes we allow folks
“inside”...
#CMCnUXD

...but then, it becomes a LOT to
manage!

Considering Cues

Considering Cues
Communication is more than
a buzzword…
Cues are the building blocks
of communication
● Verbal
● Nonverbal
● Social
Imagecredit:http://clipartoons.com/best-clipart-4927/

Many people assume...
• “lean” channels are good for
task, bad for relationships
• More cues = better
communication

Face-to-Face Interaction
GULPING
● Fast & efficient
● Many cues at once
● Comprehensive
● Less control
Mediated Interaction
SIPPING
● Slower
● Cues vary by channel
● Isolated and targeted
● More control
#CMCnUXD
Considering Cues

Social Information
Processing (SIP) Theory
• More cues ≠ better
• TIME is the key
• We fill in “missing” cues

#CMCnUXD
Hyperpersonal Effects
Many mediated
Channels feature
asynchronicity +
editability...
… will allows Senders to
engage in selective
presentation...
...which cause Receivers
to engage in idealization
and overattribution ...
… impacting Feedback
via self-fulfilling
prophecies

/c_fill,fl_progressive,g_north,h_358,q_80,w_636/181xu004r7kbwjpg.jpg
#CMCnUXD

Consider asynchronicity and
editability of cues
• Both increase
hyperpersonal potential
• Do you want this?
#CMCnUXD
Design Implications

Cues built into the
interface should have
a function
More cues isn’t always
better!
#CMCnUXD
Design Implications

The interface will be co-opted to
convey missing cues
• Consider the goal or function
that is accomplished
• Example: The Like Button

being together,
awareness of another

Social Presence
“psychological feeling of
closeness that
communicators experience
using electronic
communication channels”
(Walther & Bazarova, 2008)

Uncanny Valley
#CMCnUXD
As things become more
human, we begin to
expect them to be
human … which doesn't’
always match our
expectations for human!

#CMCnUXD
Uncanny Valley
imagecrediit:http://assets.uxbooth.com/uploads/2014/12/uncanny-2.png

#CMCnUXD
And what about the least
human human?

Often times, what a
designer thinks is optimal
is not what the user
perceives as optimal
UX attempts to create both
pleasing and productive
human-computer
interactions
Designing, Minding Demand
“It it weren’t for these fleshbags getting it wrong all of
the time, our interfaces would be brilliant! “

Bowman,
Pietschmann, &
Liebold (2015)
NUIs are
● less precise
● more unnatural
● more novel
● more unsuccessful
● less preferred
Gamepads are
● more precise
● more comfortable
● more experience
● more successful
#CMCnUXD

“...the least-intrusive
technologies – those that are
physically and socially
transparent and human-
centered – are the most likely
candidates to be incorporated
into the modern cyborg.
(Bowman, Banks, &
Westerman, 2015, p. 2)”
#CMCnUXD

Translating to social media, we see programs like this one ...
#CMCnUXD

Displayed on desktops and workstations like this one …
#CMCnUXD

Can our technologies be too demanding?
• Lang (2006) talks about the limited
capacity model
• Schwartz (2005) observed the paradox
of choice
We freak at and bemoan over choices
#CMCnUXD

Can our technologies be too demanding?
Bowman,
Westerman, &
Claus (2012)
#CMCnUXD

...and do we always need all of this information?
Between 27-37% of smartphone users
download the first app they
consider...installing without further
elaboration of other app details!
Dogruel, Joeckel,
& Bowman (2015)
#CMCnUXD

Three principles to keep in mind:
1.More information is not always more useful
2.Consider ecological rationality (Gigerenzer, 2008)
3.Use multiple channels with caution

#CMCnUXD

“An optimal system— at least from a human factors
standpoint— is not necessarily one that delivers the most
information, but rather one that delivers the most useful
information in the most useful format. And as it happens,
the most useful system isn’t the most comprehensive one,
but the most rational for the given environment.”
