Abstract

The goal of this workshop is to address the darker side of HCI by examining how computers sometimes bring about the expression of negative emotions. In particular, we are interested in the phenomenon of human beings abusing computers. Such behavior can take many forms, ranging from the verbal abuse of conversational agents to physical attacks on the hardware. In some cases, particularly in the case of embodied conversational agents, there are questions about how the machine should respond to verbal assaults. This workshop is also interested in understanding the psychological underpinnings of negative behavior involving computers. In this regard, we are interested in exploring how HCI factors influence human-to-human abuse in computer-mediated communication. The overarching objective of this workshop is to sketch a research agenda on the topic of the misuse and abuse of interactive technologies that will lead to design solutions capable of protecting users and restraining disinhibited behaviors.

Inducing Bystander Interventions During Robot Abuse with Social Mechanisms
HRI '18: Proceedings of the 2018 ACM/IEEE International Conference on Human-Robot Interaction

We explored whether a robot can leverage social influences to motivate nearby bystanders to intervene and defend them from human abuse. We designed a between-subjects study where 48 participants took part in a memorization task and observed a ...
The effect of visual gender on abuse in conversation with ECAs
IVA'12: Proceedings of the 12th international conference on Intelligent Virtual Agents

Previous studies have shown that female ECAs are more likely to be abused than male agents, which may cement gender stereotypes. In the study reported in this paper a visually androgynous ECA in the form of a teachable agent in an educational math game ...
Teenagers' personal accounts of experiences with digital intimate partner violence and abuse
Abstract Background
While in-person intimate partner violence and abuse (IPVA) among teenagers has been widely studied in the past two decades, knowledge about the role digital media plays in IPVA is limited.
...
Highlights
- Teenage intimate partner violence and abuse is affected by the inclusion of digital media.
