摘要

背景:赌博研究突出了欺骗设计的各个方面。例如,陆上赌场的设计就是为了鼓励人们在那里赌博更长时间。同样,各种电子赌博产品,如电子游戏机,表现出“结构性特征”,可能会鼓励人们继续使用它们。在这里,我认为在线赌博平台的欺骗性设计是一个重要但相对被忽视的话题,代表了陆上赌博场所设计的数字等效。在线赌博的国际增长凸显了这个话题的重要性。论点:在线赌博平台的欺骗性设计特征可以用行为科学跨学科领域的三个术语来分类。“污泥”指的是有害的摩擦,例如在在线赌博平台的退出过程中。“暗模式”指的是更广泛的欺骗性用户界面设计,包括基于污泥的特征和其他设计特征,如高建议存款/赌注大小。最后,“暗推”指的是所有这些以及其他方面的欺骗性设计,例如将赌博呈现为一种有趣的活动。结论:在线赌博平台的复杂性给研究人员带来了挑战,他们需要了解各种设计特征对行为的影响,也给政策制定者带来了挑战,以确保人们得到更公平的结果。为了更好地理解欺骗性设计特征的行为影响,并与其他危害决定因素相比,给予它们适当的监管关注,许多利益相关者需要提高认识和合作。

Sludge, dark patterns and dark nudges: A taxonomy of on-line gambling platforms' deceptive design features.

Background: Gambling research has highlighted various aspects of deceptive design. For example, land-based casinos are physically designed to encourage people to gamble there for longer. Similarly, various electronic gambling products, such as electronic gaming machines, exhibit "structural characteristics" that likely encourage people to continue using them. Here I argue that the deceptive design of on-line gambling platforms is an important yet relatively neglected topic, representing the digital equivalent of land-based gambling venue design. This topic's importance is underscored by on-line gambling's international growth.

Argument: On-line gambling platforms' deceptive design features can be categorized using three terms from the interdisciplinary field of behavioral science. "Sludge" refers to detrimental frictions, which feature for example in online gambling platforms' withdrawal processes. "Dark patterns" refers to deceptive user-interface design more broadly, which includes sludge-based features and other design features such as high suggested deposit/bet sizes. Finally, "dark nudges" refers to all of these as well as other aspects of deceptive design, such as presenting gambling as a fun activity.

Conclusions: The complexity of on-line gambling platforms poses challenges for researchers, to understand what effects various design features have on behavior, and also for policymakers, to ensure fairer outcomes for people. Increased awareness and collaboration are needed from many stakeholders to better understand deceptive design features' behavioral impacts and to give them the appropriate regulatory attention in comparison to other determinants of harm.

期刊介绍: Addiction publishes peer-reviewed research reports on pharmacological and behavioural addictions, bringing together research conducted within many different disciplines. Its goal is to serve international and interdisciplinary scientific and clinical communication, to strengthen links between science and policy, and to stimulate and enhance the quality of debate. We seek submissions that are not only technically competent but are also original and contain information or ideas of fresh interest to our international readership. We seek to serve low- and middle-income (LAMI) countries as well as more economically developed countries. Addiction’s scope spans human experimental, epidemiological, social science, historical, clinical and policy research relating to addiction, primarily but not exclusively in the areas of psychoactive substance use and/or gambling. In addition to original research, the journal features editorials, commentaries, reviews, letters, and book reviews.
