Podcasts about persuasive design

What if the very tech your kids use every day was designed to hijack their minds?In this powerful and unfiltered conversation, child psychologist Dr. Richard Freed exposes how Big Tech is using persuasive design to keep kids hooked on social media and video games—no matter the cost to their mental health. He dives into the psychological tricks baked into these platforms, the skyrocketing rates of anxiety and depression in kids, and the chilling truth: tech insiders know the damage and still push these products on your family.Dr. Freed pulls no punches as he reveals how schools, nonprofits, and even “educational” programs are often quietly influenced by industry money. He calls out the disturbing double standard between how tech elites protect their own kids—and how the rest of us are left to deal with the fallout.If you're a parent, educator, or just someone who cares about kids, this conversation is your call to action. Dr. Freed shares real, practical steps to fight back, reclaim your child's well-being, and build stronger connections that matter more than likes, streaks, or screen time.Get Richard's book here: Better Than Real Life: How Silicon Valley's Secret Science of Persuasive Design is Stealing ChildhoodRichard Freed, PhD, is a psychologist, author, and his insights have been featured in the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and other media outlets. He has dedicated his professional life to unmasking how Silicon Valley has joined forces with leading psychological experts to create the powerful science of persuasive design that is stealing a generation of youth away from the real world to live on social media, video games, and online video. He advocates that a science-based childhood focused around the real-world activities of family, school, and the outdoors must be made available to all children. Dr. Freed lives in Walnut Creek, California and is the proud father of two daughters.

Why do smart, caring kids get stuck in harmful digital habits—and why do even the best parenting strategies sometimes fall flat? In this compelling conversation, Melanie Hempe sits down with psychologist and author Dr. Richard Freed to discuss his groundbreaking new book and the manipulative force shaping youth culture today: Persuasive Design.Dr. Freed explains how powerful tech companies use behavioral science to keep kids scrolling, gaming, and glued to screens—often at the expense of their mental health, relationships, and futures. They dive into the research behind screen addiction, the myth of “safe” screen time, and the science that parents must understand to protect their kids.You'll walk away from this episode informed, empowered, and equipped with practical steps to reclaim your child's attention—and your family's connection.In This Episode:What persuasive design is—and how it targets your childWhy traditional parenting advice often fails in the digital ageThe role of Silicon Valley psychologists in youth screen addictionReal-life solutions for pushing back against Big Tech's influenceWhy family connection is the antidote to persuasive techThis is a conversation every parent needs to hear.Support the showDon't forget to subscribe, rate, and leave a review if you enjoy the episode.

Space capabilities permit enhanced situational understanding; provides global communications; enables precise and accurate fires; supports the conduct of joint expeditionary entry, movement, and maneuver operations; and provides a conduit for cyber electromagnetic operations supporting Unified Land Operations. These capabilities directly support large slarge-scalecale combat operations by enhancing command and control, providing secure communications over extended distances and across areas without modern infrastructure.Potential adversaries have identified U.S. reliance on space-based capabilities as a critical vulnerability and will attempt to exploit it in order to deter and degrade our ability to act. Army space operations seek ways to maintain assured access to space capabilities, and when necessary, to achieve its objectives in spite of the adversary's counterspace efforts.Army space operations are conducted around the globe, but engaged regionally. Army space operations often are an integral part of a joint team used to plan, fight, and adapt operations across the range of military operations. Army space operations continue to evolve to meet the requirements of a complex and rapidly changing OE.Army space doctrine refines and expands upon joint space doctrine by defining those space tactics and procedures relevant to unified land operations and applicable to large-scale combat operations. Army space operations applies to the tactical, operational, and strategic levels of war, but the results are often challenging to quantify which level or levels benefit as modern conflict may not be easily divided into discrete levels. In an internet-connected world which often exploits social media, theater-level tactical actions may have far-reaching operational and strategic-level impacts. The space capabilities form the framework for how space operations supports the Army warfighting functions. From FM 3-12 CYBERSPACE OPERATIONS AND ELECTROMAGNETIC WARFARE:Cyberspace operations are the employment of cyberspace capabilities where the primary purpose is to achieve objectives in or through cyberspace (JP 3-0). Electromagnetic warfare is a military action involving the use of electromagnetic and directed energy to control the electromagnetic spectrum or to attack the enemy (JP 3-85).Cyberspace is one of the five domains of warfare and uses a portion of the electromagnetic spectrum (EMS) for operations, for example, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and satellite transport. Therefore, cyberspace operations and EW require frequency assignment, management, and coordination performed by spectrum management operations. Spectrum management operations consist of four key functions—spectrum management, frequency assignment, host-nation coordination, and policy adherence. Spectrum management operations include preventing and mitigating frequency conflicts and electromagnetic interference (EMI) between friendly forces and host nations during Army operations (refer to ATP 6-02.70). Army Special Operations Recruiting:SOF Recruiting Page (soc.mil)https://www.soc.mil/USASOCHQ/recruiting.html GoArmySOF Site:https://www.goarmysof.army.mil/ The Official Podcast of the United States Army Special Warfare Center and School!USAJFKSWCS selects and trains all Army Special Forces, Civil Affairs, and Psychological Operations soldiers. Please visit our website at: https://www.swcs.milBe sure to check us out and follow us at:https://www.facebook.com/jfkcenterandschoolhttps://www.instagram.com/u.s.armyswcs/https://www.youtube.com/c/USAJFKSWCS/videosPlease like, subscribe, and leave a review!

No matter how good a learning app is, it will struggle to compete against Roblox and YouTube Kids.In today's digital era, children have increasingly easy access to a wide array of technologies and parents are finding themselves faced with the dual challenge of maintaining discipline over their kids' screen time and ensuring that the content they're engaging with is both age-appropriate and educational – essentially the need to strike a balance between encouraging tech-savviness in a child and protecting a child's well-being and development.The young parents-of-two faced that exact problem, and decided to pull together a team of experts to build an app called Carrots&Cake that focuses on improving the quality of kids' screen time based on a science-based approach by allowing parents to limit the time spent on different apps in the hopes that this will allow children to have balanced usage between educational and entertainment apps. On this episode of Open For Business, you will learn how the co-founders of Carrots&Cake, Meredith DePaolo and Hamel Shah, are trying to address this pressing concern, why this is a business and not just a feature, and how they plan to monetise in order to make this a sustainable business.

Tracy Markle and Dr. Brett Kennedy are the fore of developing best practices for the treatment of digital media overuse issues. And to have them contribute the some of the insidious ways persuasive design is used to keep us engaged is a huge win for this podcast. In this episode, both Tracy and Brett share both their expertise and their experiences. Check out what they are doing at dTEC here https://digitalmediatreatment.com/ The reason we, as people in recovery, want to know about this is because many businesses have perfected persuasive design to a degree that, when we are faced with it we don’t even question it. We don’t know that we are being persuaded. We don’t realize that we are accepting information as a matter of fact, without scrutiny. These are the goals of persuasive design, and we have seen them before. In order to recover ourselves, it is very important to get a wide perspective of how businesses are getting people to engage in addictive activities. There are people we all know who are in active addiction and yet judge us. Why? Because their addiction isn’t heroin, meth, or something society wants to demonize. They throw away their lives little by little because of things our consumer society wants from them. As long as tech, work, sex, and other perceived “healthy” activities are supported in our culture, then addictions in those areas are going to go unchecked and those people are going to continue to contribute to their own lack of deep fulfillment. As my work suggests I am always looking to recover myself completely and my aim is to help others recover themselves. I see a client for a total of 4 sessions which is designed to launch self-directed lives and separate us from the constant draw of codependency. This starts with my doing a portrait of my client. The portrait is an intimate experience, these open a vocabulary to trauma and are healing. This process is not for everyone and if you are not ready I will not work with you. It is important that you are ready to step into yourself and stop playing a victim cursed by things around you.

How does that mirror your experience with your drug(s) of choice or other substances/behaviors? By interacting with a substance, or behavior, that helps us escape, especially those that are encouraged by our peer group, what could we be learning at 10 years old? 16 years old? 21 years old? If companies have no responsibility when it comes to marketing products, what are some ways we can defend ourselves from their incessant calls to make our lives easier through escape? --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/martinjon/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/martinjon/support

El Dr. Victor M. González y González es originario de San Luis de la Paz, Guanajuato. Vive en San Andrés Cholula, Puebla, con su esposa y sus tres hijos desde 2017. Es el CEO de Sperientia [Studio+Lab] es una empresa de consultoría e investigación con sede en México especializada en ayudar a las organizaciones a crear mejores experiencias para los usuarios de sus productos y servicios. Sus servicios son reclutamiento, pruebas de usabilidad moderadas, pruebas de usabilidad no moderadas, inspecciones, entrevistas contextuales. Para esto es necesario entender cómo el producto hace sentido para quien lo utiliza. “Estamos centrados en entender los objetivos de negocio de las organizaciones para mejorar la experiencia digital de sus productos. Somos una especie de Sherlock Holmes mexicano en el mundo digital: hacemos trabajo de investigación digital, distinguimos entre diseño, desarrollo e investigación”. La investigación del producto es su core, ayudando a las compañías descubrir cómo se recibe su experiencia o por qué no se recibe cómo ellos esperan. Victor considera que lo digital es algo que ayuda como herramienta a extender tus capacidades. “Nos permite automatizar cosas, permite convertir en 0 y 1 un video, un audio, una documentación. Pero considera que lo importante es entender cuál es su propósito. Pero con lo digital no sólo vamos a transformar las cosas. Debemos entender que cualquier escenario digital tiene que pasar por lo social: los riesgos que tenemos al depositar nuestra confianza ciega en alguna plataforma”. La ventaja es poder, a través de lo digital, conectar vidas. Para definir el rol que el Design Thinking tiene en las empresas, Victor toma prestada una frase de Steven Gates: “Design Thinking es el mejor caballo de troya para la innovación de una organización”. Trata de entender las necesidades de las personas, aprovechar lo último de la tecnología y asegurar que tiene sentido desde el punto de vista de negocio. Victor se define como un maestro, padre de familia y ciudadano del país que ama (México). La pandemia le ha permitido estar más cerca de su familia, de sus hijos. Es una persona reservada. Es un vicioso de los libros: 70% de lo que le toca mover en sus mudanzas son sus libros. Acostumbra a responder preguntas con sus libros.

Rhonda Moskowitz, an expert recently featured in the NY Times, Style section, is our amazing guest on today's podcast.  Technology is fantastic and has so many upsides both at home and in the classroom, but when devices overtake our lives, our home, and our children suffer.  Rhonda explains the pitfalls of devices, how children do better with a pen in hand rather than a keyboard and how the endless hours on phones or computers negatively affect their brains.  Rhonda further explains that there is an actual phenomenon called "Persuasive Design" which makes it nearly impossible to stop watching once we begin so that when children' say "I can't stop" they actually cannot!  If you want to find out the best way to handle device and what to do to replace them listen to this episode with expert, Rhonda Moskowitz. Visit Grace at The Baby SpotVisit Atara at Curlee GirleeBuy Curlee Girlee and Curlee Girlee's Got Talent

Dr. Richard Freed, Psychologist, talks about how the tech industry uses "Persuasive Design" to addict kids on social media, video games and more. WBT's Brett Jensen talks about the ouster of Charlotte/Mecklenburg Schools Superintendent Dr. Clayton Wilcox.

Technology shapes the way we interact everyday. We FaceTime with family across the country, we send snaps to our friends to let them know where we are and what we're doing. But sometimes we fail to realize that the platforms and data that push us to interact, they don't always do it in objective ways. Our interactions are increasingly shaped by algorithms, and those codes are designed by some human. Those programmers literally write the script for the ways that tech will make us tick, for better or for worse. The practice of intentionally guiding user behavior is known as 'persuasive technology,' and it’s making its way into our phones, our homes, and our schools. This week on the EdSurge On Air podcast, we talk with three experts who study persuasive tech, behavior design, and the ways that algorithms behind technology and search engines can leave damaging effects on society and further exacerbate social inequalities.

Elearning design needs to engage and persuade the learner to know how to engage with the content and learning. Dr. Laurie Korte talks about e-learning design that engages learners and common mistakes of e-learning and blended learning classrooms.

Victor Yocco is an author, speaker, and UX researcher. Part of his niche is that he frequently speaks and writes about the application of psychology to design by addressing the culture promoting alcohol use in design and technology fields. His passion is to make a positive difference to both product end-users, and his colleagues experiencing issues of alcohol and substance abuse or addiction. He recently published his book ““Design for the Mind: Seven Psychological Principles of Persuasive Design” that addresses the psychology of great design from both the aspect of creator and consumer. We discuss with Victor his inspiring story and how his approach to a sober life, business and design makes a difference for those he works with. Here are some is the great insights he shares from our conversation: 1. He is the first guy to approach Rules of Success willing to about sobriety an important part of the creative process. 2. His book is a tool for creators and consumers; warning of the psychological pitfalls in deliberate design. 3. We all approach digital media with our psychological needs of the moment. 4. What you feel and how you experience design is just as important as what you read or see. Plan accordingly as a creator. 5. Overlooking design and the persuasion of design is akin to not wanting people to use your product. 6. Persuasion + the mechanism + reassurance = ease of sale. i.e. Turbo Tax 7. “..take the cognitive load away from the user..” 8. The sunken cost principle is real to getting consumers to buy. Creating something where they’ve invested their time before they buy; they’ll buy 8. In design, seek to understand the intention of the ‘creator’ and in your creations, seek to share your intention. 9. You never know who’s reading or consuming your content. 10. You can never just let go of a bad habit. You have to replace that bad habit with a supportive habit. 11. We can be real, alcohol removes your inhibitions. However, it’s not a well you can keep going back to successfully. You can find his book at Manning.com..

Creating web designs that please your stakeholders can be a challenge, especially with half-baked feedback like "Make it pop!". That said, creating designs that drive engagement and please your stakeholder's wallet is even harder.In this episode of PressThis, we interview Ross Johnson of 3.7 Designs about his thoughts on creating persuasive design patterns, why they're so helpful at driving engagement, and how you can think about persuasive design in the sites you create.If you're looking for a clever new look at how you design the sites you create, don't miss this episode of PressThis.
