In this paper, we describe a user-centered privacy policy design project that we undertook at Stanford Legal Design Lab, in order to generate new models of business-to-consumer communications around data privacy. From our preliminary user research, rapid prototyping and testing, and refinement of new privacy communication designs, focused on a very particular archetype – a 20-40 year old who is...

objectives: emotional intelligence skills begin at home, and with positive interactions with parents and other children. parents can help children recognize their emotions, name them, and learn how to respect their feelings and adapt to social situations. the aim of the present study was to investigate the effectiveness of emotional intelligence training on the communication skills of students ...

Design is a rich domain in which to investigate barriers and biases in computersupported communication because it involves many different modes of communication in socialtechnical contexts. This chapter briefly describes different design approaches. It analyzes the biases and barriers of two different types of design communities: communities of practice and communities of interest. To address t...

We propose a compositional technique to design multifunction protocols. The technique involves rst designing the protocols performing the various functions separately and then combining them using a set of constraints. The constraints are used to specify the interactions between the component protocols. The interactions, for example, specify when a function has to be performed and whether two f...

The ability to design tailored messages for specific listeners is an important aspect of human communication. The present study investigates whether a mere belief about an addressee's identity influences the generation and production of a communicative message in a novel, non-verbal communication task. Participants were made to believe they were playing a game with a child or an adult partner, ...

As a first manifestation of a recently launched international research project, this position paper outlines an approach to use ontologies as a means to tame the high degree of complexity involved in most collaborative (architectural) design projects which derives from the involvement of their numerous participants. Traditionally, these various involvements have tended to be structured hierarch...

This paper relaxes an important assumption of the mechanism design literature: That communication between the principal and each of his agents is public. Doing so yields two important results. First, it simplifies significantly mechanisms and institutions and shows the major role played by sell-out contracts, nonlinear prices and all-pay auctions. Second, it restores continuity with respect to ...
