Originally based on the ACM-published paper Defining and Identifying Attention Capture Deceptive Designs in Digital Interfaces, the Attention Capture Damaging Patterns website explores how digital interfaces use psychological tactics to manipulate user attention. These design strategies often lead individuals to deviate from their original goals, lose track of time, and experience regret over their interactions. The site categorizes these harmful patterns into key areas, including Mechanisms that exploit psychological tendencies, Impacts that highlight negative effects on digital well-being, Seductive Design that entices users into unintended actions, and Deceptive Design that prioritizes short-term engagement over user satisfaction. By presenting these concepts in a more accessible format than an academic paper, the website raises awareness about the ethical implications of such design choices and advocates for more transparent, user-centered digital experiences.
