标题： Mind the Dark: A Gamified Exploration of Deceptive Design Awareness for Children in the Digital Age

摘要： 本文解决了技术中普遍存在的欺骗性设计元素这一关键问题，以及它们对儿童的潜在影响。 最近的研究强调了暗模式对成年人和青少年的影响，而涉及儿童的研究却很少。 在儿童使用数字设备拥有更大独立性的时代，如果没有早期教育，他们对暗模式的脆弱性会加剧。 我们的研究结果表明，暗模式教育对儿童的意识有显著的积极影响，揭示出提高意识会大大改变儿童在社交媒体、视频游戏和流媒体平台上的导航方式。 为此，我们开发了一款游戏化的应用程序，旨在教导儿童识别和应对各种暗模式。 我们的评估结果强调了早期教育在赋予儿童识别和应对欺骗性设计能力中的关键作用，从而培养出一代具备数字素养、能够在复杂数字技术环境中做出明智选择的儿童。 显示英文摘要

摘要： This paper addresses the critical issue of deceptive design elements prevalent in technology, and their potential impact on children. Recent research highlights the impact of dark patterns on adults and adolescents, while studies involving children are scarce. In an era where children wield greater independence with digital devices, their vulnerability to dark patterns amplifies without early education. Our findings show a significant positive impact of dark pattern education on children's awareness, revealing that heightened awareness considerably alters children's navigation of social media, video games, and streaming platforms. To this end, we developed a gamified application aimed at instructing children on identifying and responding to various dark patterns. Our evaluation results emphasize the critical role of early education in empowering children to recognize and counter deceptive design, thereby cultivating a digitally literate generation capable of making informed choices in the complex landscape of digital technology.
