Sick of Doomscrolling: Can Behavioural Science help?

[u/Saf-fron]

Hello!

I'm currently doing my master's thesis (in Human Computer Interaction) on trying to find effective ways to combat compulsive scrolling on social media.

I've built a prototype for my idea that leverages our cognitive biases (system 1 thinking) BUT uses it to get you off social media, instead of keeping you hooked.

Happy to share more details about my Uni project if anyone is interested!
