Studying People Around the World With LabintheWild
Our virtual lab has been running since 2012 and has been visited by more than 5 million volunteer participants.
Welcome to the Wildlab!
We study how digital technology can be more equally useful and usable for people around the world.
Culture Clash in Conversational AI
Can communicating with conversational AI have effects similar to culture clash?
Anticipating Unintended Consequences
How can we help developers and designers foresee potential adverse effects of digital technology on society?
Cultural Mismatches in Technology
We study how the design of technology promotes norms and values that may be misaligned with those of users.
Tools for Detecting Bias in Website Designs
We have developed tools that predict visual appeal, trustworthiness, and color differentiability.
Bias Due to Language Style
From security interfaces to online experiments, we've found that language formality and complexity affect users in surprising ways.
Communicating Science to Diverse People
Much of our work involves citizen scientists. How can we communicate scientific findings to them?
Studying Less WEIRD People
Research findings are mostly based on participants who are Western, Educated, Industrialized, Rich, and Democratic. How can we change this?
Language models and their WEIRDness
We have found that NLP datasets and models are often biased towards Western and college-educated views.
