• Abstract: The design and evaluation of assisting technologies to support behavior change processes have become an essential topic within the field of human-computer interaction research in general and the field of immersive intervention technologies in particular. The mechanisms and success of behavior change techniques and interventions are broadly investigated in the field of psychology. However, it is not always easy to adapt these psychological findings to the context of immersive technologies. The lack of theoretical foundation also leads to a lack of explanation as to why and how immersive interventions support behavior change processes. The Behavioral Framework for immersive Technologies (BehaveFIT) addresses this lack by (1) presenting an intelligible categorization and condensation of psychological barriers and immersive features, by (2) suggesting a mapping that shows why and how immersive technologies can help to overcome barriers, and finally by (3) proposing a generic prediction path that enables a structured, theory-based approach to the development and evaluation of immersive interventions. These three steps explain how BehaveFIT can be used, and include guiding questions and one example for each step. Thus, the present paper contributes to guidance for immersive intervention design and evaluation, showing that immersive interventions support behavior change processes and explain and predict 'why' and 'how' immersive interventions can bridge the intention-behavior-gap.

  How to intervene on such system outputs to mitigate anthropomorphic behaviors and their attendant harmful outcomes remains understudied. We compile an inventory of interventions grounded both in prior literature and a crowdsourced study where participants edited system outputs to make them less human-like.

  We explored how software that fulfils its requirements may have un-envisioned aftereffects with significant impacts. We considered three real-world case studies and engaged with literature from several disciplines to develop a conceptual framework. We found participant groups navigated the model with either a convergent or divergent intent. The study demonstrated potential for the conceptual framework to be used as a tool with implications for research and practice.

  Counterfactual explanations aim to provide to end users a set of features that need to be changed in order to achieve a desired outcome. Current approaches rarely take into account the feasibility of actions needed to achieve the proposed explanations. We present Counterfactual Explanations as Interventions in Latent Space (CEILS), a methodology to generate counterfactual explanations.

  We consider how information and architectural constraints can be combined with ideas from the probabilistic modeling literature to learn behavior priors. We discuss how such latent variable formulations connect to related work on hierarchical reinforcement learning (HRL) and mutual information and curiosity based objectives. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our framework by applying it to a range of simulated continuous control domains.
