Research: Gender-Inclusiveness Personas vs. Stereotyping: Can We Have it Both Ways?
(View Complete Item Description)CITATION: Gender-Inclusiveness Personas vs. Stereotyping: Can We Have it Both Ways? Charles Hill, Maren Haag, Alannah Oleson, Chris Mendez, Nicola Marsden, Anita Sarma, Margaret Burnett, ACM Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems (CHI'17), May 2017, pp. 6658-6671. ABSTRACT: Personas often aim to improve product designers' ability to "see through the eyes of" target users through the empathy personas can inspire - but personas are also known to promote stereotyping. This tension can be particularly problematic when personas (who, of course as "people" have genders) are used to promote gender inclusiveness - because reinforcing stereotypical perceptions can run counter to gender inclusiveness. In this paper we explicitly investigate this tension through a new approach to personas: one that includes multiple photos (of males and females) for a single persona. We compared this approach to an identical persona with only one photo using a controlled laboratory study and an eye-tracking study. Our goal was to answer the following question: is it possible for personas to encourage product designers to engage with personas while at the same avoiding promoting gender stereotyping? Our results are encouraging about the use of personas with multiple pictures as a way to expand participants' consideration of multiple genders without reducing their engagement with the persona.

Fill-in-the-blank Abi Persona
(View Complete Item Description)Customizable GenderMag persona: Abi. Abi provides the strongest lens to find inclusiveness issues that disproportionately affect women users. If you choose to use only one persona and your primary motivation is inclusiveness to women, Abi is probably the best first choice. Abi provides the strongest inclusivity lens out of the 3 personas (Abi, Pat, and Tim).

Fill-in-the-blank Pat Persona
(View Complete Item Description)Customizable GenderMag persona: Pat. Pat touches (mostly) middle points in the facet ranges between the Abi and Tim GenderMag personas. If you want a third persona for additional coverage of the facets, Pat is a good third choice after Tim.

Fill-in-the-blank Tim Persona
(View Complete Item Description)Customizable GenderMag persona: Tim. Tim represents the opposite end of the facet value ranges from the Abi GenderMag persona, so Tim helps to complete the "sweep" of considering a wide range of facet values. For full coverage of the spectrum, Tim is a good second choice after Abi.
