> Abstract
>
> Digital technologies have made their way into all the aspects of our
> lives that, according to psychology, influence our wellbeing --
> everything from social relationships and curiosity to engagement and
> learning. By bringing together research and methodologies
> well-established in psychology, education, neuroscience and
> human-computer interaction, we can begin to cultivate a new field
> dedicated to the design and development of technology that supports
> wellbeing and human potential.
>
> More specifically, in this seminar I will present an introduction to
> our Human-Computer interaction work aiming to support psychological
> wellbeing. The suggested HCI framework builds on psychology,
> education, design and other disciplines addressing intrapersonal
> factors of wellbeing such as motivation, engagement, reflective
> thought and mindfulness, interpersonal factors such as empathy, and
> extrapersonalsuch as altruism.
