“…The concept of deception is often described as being misled due to unfair practices and can occur in many contexts when interests of different parties collide [43]. Deception has been studied in several areas such as marketing [44][45][46][47] and organizational research [48][49][50]. A deceptive practice is being conducted if the targeted individual receives false information that lead to false im-pressions of a situation.…”

The European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) requires websites to ask for consent to the use of cookies for specific purposes. This enlarges the relevant design space for consent dialogs. Websites could try to maximize click-through rates and positive consent decision, even at the risk of users agreeing to more purposes than intended. We evaluate a practice observed on popular websites by conducting an experiment with one control and two treatment groups (N = 150 university students in two countries). We hypothesize that users’ consent decision is influenced by (1) the number of options, connecting to the theory of choice proliferation, and (2) the presence of a highlighted default button (“select all”), connecting to theories of social norms and deception in consumer research. The results show that participants who see a default button accept cookies for more purposes than the control group, while being less able to correctly recall their choice. After being reminded of their choice, they regret it more often and perceive the consent dialog as more deceptive than the control group. Whether users are presented one or three purposes has no significant effect on their decisions and perceptions. We discuss the results and outline policy implications.

“…However, when a team is newly formed, its members rely on initial perceptions and judgements based on limited interactions to gauge each other's expertise, which often leads to stereotyping or inaccurate assessment of one's abilities [15]. Also, individuals can strategically reveal, hide, or exaggerate one's expertise to meet a variety of individual goals [16]. Therefore, it is challenging to ensure accurate recognition of expertise in newly formed teams due to the psychological and social processes that are prone to errors.…”

Team collaboration among individuals with diverse sets of expertise and skills is essential for solving complex problems. As part of an interdisciplinary effort, we studied the effects of Capture the Flag (CTF) game, a popular and engaging education/training tool in cybersecurity and engineering, in enhancing team construction and collaboration. We developed a framework to incorporate CTF as part of a computer-human process for expertise recognition and role assignment and evaluated and tested its effectiveness through a study with cybersecurity students enrolled in a Virtual Teams course. In our computer-human process framework, the post-CTF algorithm using the CTF outcomes assembles the team (assigning individuals to teams) and provides the initial role assignments, which then gets updated by human-based team discussions. This paper shares our insights, design choices/rationales, and analyses of our CTF-incorporated computer-human process framework. The students' evaluations revealed that the computer-human process framework was helpful in learning about their team members' backgrounds and expertise and assigning roles accordingly made a positive impact on the learning outcomes for the team collaboration skills in the course. This experience report showcases the utility of CTF as a tool for expertise recognition and role assignments in teams and highlights the complementary roles of CTF-based and discussion-based processes for an effective team collaboration among engineering students.
