Screenshots of Chirp (IMAGE)
Caption
In a project led by the University of Washington, researchers showed that some people enter a state of dissociation similar to daydreaming when surfing social media. The team designed an app called Chirp, which was connected to participants' Twitter accounts. Through Chirp, users' likes and tweets appear on the real social media platform, but researchers can control people's experience, adding new features or quick pop-up surveys. Shown here are screenshots of Chirp with interventions added, including a "you're all caught up!" message (labeled with 'a'), custom lists (b and c), a page that displayed participants' activity on Chirp (d) and a dialog box that popped up every 20 minutes asking users if they wanted to continue using Chirp (e).
