In bidux: Behavioral Insight Design: A Toolkit for Integrating Behavioral Science in UI/UX Design

Document User Behavior Anticipation Stage in BID Framework

Description

This function documents the anticipated user behavior by listing bias mitigation strategies related to anchoring, framing, confirmation bias, etc. It also supports adding interaction hints and visual feedback elements.

Usage

bid_anticipate(
  previous_stage,
  bias_mitigations = NULL,
  include_accessibility = TRUE,
  quiet = NULL,
  ...
)

Arguments

previous_stage	A tibble or list output from an earlier BID stage function.
bias_mitigations	A named list of bias mitigation strategies. If NULL, the function will suggest bias mitigations based on information from previous stages.
include_accessibility	Logical indicating whether to include accessibility mitigations. Default is TRUE.
quiet	Logical indicating whether to suppress informational messages. If NULL, uses getOption("bidux.quiet", FALSE).
...	Additional parameters. If 'interaction_principles' is provided, it will be ignored with a warning.

Value

A tibble containing the documented information for the "Anticipate" stage.

Examples

interpret_stage <- bid_interpret(
  central_question = "How can we improve selection efficiency?",
  data_story = list(
    hook = "Too many options",
    context = "Excessive choices",
    tension = "User frustration",
    resolution = "Simplify menu"
  )
)

notice_stage <- bid_notice(
  previous_stage = interpret_stage,
  problem = "Issue with dropdown menus",
  evidence = "User testing indicated delays"
)

structure_info <- bid_structure(previous_stage = notice_stage)

# Let the function suggest bias mitigations based on previous stages
bid_anticipate(previous_stage = structure_info)

# with accessibility included (default) and custom bias mitigations
anticipate_result <- bid_anticipate(
  previous_stage = structure_info,
  bias_mitigations = list(
    anchoring = "Use context-aware references",
    framing = "Toggle between positive and negative framing"
  ),
  include_accessibility = TRUE
)
