For many companies who operate in the online space, attention and engagement are the holy grail. Social media sites in particular make deliberate creative choices to keep people scrolling, reading, watching and clicking. This phenomenon is known as âpersuasive designâ and itâs being employed in the vast majority of the digital worldâs most popular destinations.
A study by the charity 5Rights Foundation concluded that ââŚthe brain’s response to rewards and punishments can be leveraged through persuasive design to keep children online.â To tie in with Safer Internet Day 2024, our #WakeUpWednesday guide can help to educate youngsters on the effects of persuasive design â and suggests ways to insulate themselves from its influence.
We hope you find this useful when supporting your children. Thank you! â¨
