In the contemporary attention economy, tech companies adopt design patterns, e.g., content autoplay and infinite scroll, that exploit people’ psychological vulnerabilities and manipulate users into spending time and attention on digital services. These “attention-capture damaging patterns” (ACDPs) often lead people to experience a lost sense of control and time over technology use and a later sense of regret. As a result, concerns about technology overuse and addiction have gained momentum, and researchers, public media, and some tech industries have started highlighting the need to design digital services that better align with people’s digital wellbeing. This thesis aims to develop and evaluate mitigation strategies and alternative design patterns for ACDPs that might positively impact people’s digital wellbeing, rather than diminishing it.
