Building UX Personas That Cultivate Empathy, Instead of Bias

2023-05-23T09:39:46-07:00

Personas have a long history in digital products and services. In fact, you’ve probably built a few yourself. They come in varying levels of fidelity and traditionally document key demographic information about your average or likely users. Personas can be incredibly helpful for teams, especially newly established ones, to help build context and guardrails around who they are building for. The problem with personas is they haven’t really changed much in the last few decades. If you run a basic search right now it will generate a hundred of the same templates with a standard array of demographic inputs; fake [...]

Media Psychology Program Director Brian Cutler Contributes to The Oxford Handbook of Psychology and Law

2023-05-09T10:00:46-07:00

Psychology-law is a very diverse field that covers a wide range of topics from both experimental psychology and applied psychology. These broad areas are in turn made up of many subspecialties. However, despite the continued and rapid growth of the psychology-law field, there was no current comprehensive resource that provided coverage of the major topic areas until the publication of The Oxford Handbook of Psychology and Law. The Oxford Handbook of Psychology and Law offers a current, scholarly overview of psychology-law topics. The book's principal editors, Dr. David DeMatteo, JD, Ph.D., ABPP (Forensic), a Professor of Psychology and Professor of Law [...]

ChatGPT can help creators use more of their energy on the highest levels of their work, leading to advancements. ChatGPT and other AI are not soulless. Human beings create and develop AI, so "artificial" intelligence is based on human achievement. Lately, many of the biggest technology news stories center around the use of artificial intelligence, particularly ChatGPT. Headlines and social media discussions tend to focus on fears [...]

Why Proposed Social Media Bans Won’t Keep Your Kids Safe

2023-05-05T03:55:09-07:00

Social media bans ignore the need for digital literacy and self-regulation KEY POINTS Proposed legal bans on social media for kids are based on moral panics, not research. The preoccupation with social media use ignores the needed skills to safely navigate the digital world. Not only will the laws be difficult to enforce but verification proposals raise serious privacy issues for sensitive information. Lawmakers could help kids more by funding digital literacy programs. Politicians can't get their pens out fast enough to draft laws to regulate social media use by kids. Advertised as "child protection" laws, the proposed bans [...]
