Screen Time is a common measure of media use but the research has problems: no common definitions and no reliable measures. Mindful media use puts the emphasis on individual goals and emotions to create a healthy media plan for adults and kids.
Positive Media Psychology: Harnessing the Power of Media for GoodPamela Rutledge
Overview of positive media psychology by Dr. Pamela Rutledge for the Fielding Graduate University School of Psychology Colloquium, April 9, 2021. Positive Media Psychology is a specialized area within media psychology that emerged to promote the use and development of media technologies that support well-being and human flourishing.

This deck includes an overview of some theoretical constructs and real-world examples.
VR and Personality: Ability to Experience Presence Pamela Rutledge
As a media psychologist, I look at Individual needs, goals and differences and what that means for media projects---use, impact and design. VR is so extraordinary, that it's easy to forget that one size doesn't fit all. Psychological immersion--what we call presence--defines VR success and is related to measurable personality traits.

Psychology of Design: Brand Story & Virtual Reality - Media Summit 2016Pamela Rutledge
Dr. Pamela Rutledge, Media Summit 2016.
A brand is a virtual reality. If you're creating VR to sell your brand, don't screw up the brand story that already lives in the consumer's brain. Stories are essential to bridge the gap between human cognition and digital experience. Too much technology and not enough attention to consumer experience will result in #VRfail.
Media psychology is the application of psychological science--the study of human behavior, emotions, and cognitions--to all forms of mediated communications and technologies. It takes into account the spectrum of activity from production, content, and consumption to distribution and impact. It is a continually changing, multi-disciplinary field with implications for individuals, organizations and society. We apply it to technology design, such as augmented and mixed realities, marketing and brand development, with approaches such as transmedia storytelling, and usability and audience engagement based on core human goals, needs and motivations.
Selfie Empowerment: The Positive Side of SelfiesPamela Rutledge
Presentation from American Psychological Association National Convention 2015 by Pamela Rutledge, PhD.
We live in the age of selfies. Is this a problem? No. On the contrary, selfies are instant visual communication, focusing on the process of life. They 'speak' to our brains on an emotional level, transmitting not just text but experience. They are also a new visual genre, distinct from all others in history. Portraiture is no longer restricted to the rich and famous and, for the first time in history, we are completely in charge of our own image. Selfies can be empowering and positive, inspiring personal change, increasing mindfulness and gratitude and enhancing social connection.

Psychology of Engagement through Audience Profiling Using PersonasPamela Rutledge
Using personas to craft experience: New technology has created a population that is not satisfied unless they can connect, interact, and collaborate. Personas are the starting point in developing a strategy for engaging your audience in ways that lay the foundation to better serve your audience through appropriate channels and messaging, build trust and establish a longer term relationship, focus efforts and expose internal conflicts and more effectively use resources. Panel presentation at APA National Convention, Washington DC 2014 with an overview of the persona development process.
Transmedia storytelling is the intentional integration of technology platforms and audience collaboration into a coordinated story. It creates an immersive participatory story experience which expands reach, increases persuasion and buy-in and builds an adaptable structure for a more sustainable campaign.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!
Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
