- neilv 8y agoThanks. HCI (and human factors engineering) were the original areas of study concerned with these questions. UX, which is more popular at the moment, seems to have more emphasis on visual appeal and marketing psychology, rather than on effectiveness for the user's goals. You could see "dark patterns" as an extreme of this shift in intent.
