Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The Computers Are Social Actors (CASA) paradigm proposes that users' interactions with computers follow the same social psychology principles as their interactions with people.CASA has potential value in guiding privacy design and research.Through an online survey, we found evidence that the CASA paradigm applies to privacy interactions with computers, smartphones, and digital assistants.Next, we conducted interviews following a grounded theory methodology to understand how CASA influenced privacy attitudes.CASA caused participants to either feel more comfortable sharing personal information with their device or to feel that their device invades their privacy.Whether CASA causes feelings of comfort or mistrust largely depends on participants' attitudes towards other related actors.To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study which explicitly explores CASA's relationship to privacy.We call for a systems theory approach to privacy design and research.Finally, we propose five CASA-influenced privacy design guidelines.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
