Self-Reflection on Personal Values to support Value-Sensitive Design

Abstract

The impact of ubiquitous technology and social media on our lives is rapidly increasing. We explicitly need to consider personal values affected or violated by these systems. Value-sensitive design can guide a designer in building systems that account for human values. However, the framework lacks clear steps to guide elicitation of stakeholders' values. We argue that developing tools for value elicitation that designers can use or give to stakeholders is a feasible solution to this challenge. Crucial in eliciting values is that a stakeholder has to have an understanding about her own values and how they relate in importance. This requires self-reflection. Self-reflection, in turn, requires thinking or analysing one's behaviour in meaningful moments over a long period of time. In this paper, we investigate how current methods from various disciplines can be combined and applied in a tool supporting reflection on personal values. We present an exploratory study investigating photo elicitation and a value questionnaire as methods for expressing and eliciting values with a tool. Based on the results we present an envisioned mobile personal informatics application that triggers people to reflect about their values in real-life contexts.

Design Sensível a Valores na Computação: um Mapeamento Sistemático de Literatura

“…No que diz respeito à gestão de processos de desenvolvimento, Barn et al (2015b), Barn e Barn (2016), Greef et al (2013), Pommeranz et al (2011) e Weigand (2019 apresentam suas pesquisas para tentar melhorar esses processos, Thinyane e Goldkind ( 2020 Há diversos benefícios advindos do DSV, pois se trata de uma abordagem que está presente em vários cenários que contemplam a humanidade e a tecnologia, como pode ser visto na nuvem de palavras da Figura 2.…”

“…Tuomela et al (2019) colaboram mostrando a influência direta dos stakeholders e concluem dizendo que ao desenvolver design de casas inteligentes, os indivíduos que devem ter prioridade são os que vão morar nas casas. Pommeranz et al (2011) e Battistuzzi et al (2018) enfatizam que usar DSV nos estágios iniciais de um projeto pode trazer requisitos ainda mais específicos e melhorar a fase de desenvolvimento do produto. Dadgar e Joshi (2015), Barn et al (2015a) Por mais que seja possível identificar contribuições do DSV, alguns autores encontraram algumas dificuldades na implementação do mesmo, conforme pode ser observado na Figura 3.…”

«Can I change mine?» Role Experimentation in Adolescents’ Digitally Mediated Social Emotional Learning

“…Personally-collected data (about an aspect of a young person's life like their mood, exercise or productivity) can offer just such a boundary object [7; 21]. Some related work has shown that such learning can extend to adolescents' identity formation, prompting reflection about life goals [33], values [22] and socio-political context [31] through constructing narratives about personal data.…”

Mapping and Taking Stock of the Personal Informatics Literature

“…Although some publications explicitly stated that personal informatics systems should respect privacy (e.g., [49,194,224,225]), only 36% of papers (187) explicitly mentioned ethical or privacy concerns. 69 of those (37%) referred to concerns broadly, typically mentioning that privacy is an important consideration for future systems or future study.…”
