Thesis title: Collaborative reflection in mental health technologies: a trauma informed approach.
Supervisors: Lian Loke, Naseem Ahmadpour
Thesis abstract:
Recently, there has been an increasing interest in applying technology to support mental health and well-being in HCI (Human and computer interaction). Existing research recognises the critical role played by reflection. However, there is a lack of previous studies investigating the reflection between two or more people which we named in this study “Co-reflection". Moreover, the influence of co-reflection on the clinical working environment is still unclear. This research aimed to give a conceptual framework for co-reflection and to explore its potential technical support in the clinical environment and its implications for SEL.
