About
Laura Vuillier is a researcher whose work sits at the intersection of psychology, technology, and well-being. Her primary research areas include problematic social media use, behavioral addictions, and the psychological impact of digital design. Vuillier is best known for her critical examination of how social media platforms can foster compulsive attachment, particularly through design features that exploit human psychology. In her influential 2019 paper, "When People are Problematically Attached to Social Media: How Would the Design Matter?" (9 citations), she applies the Honeycomb ecology framework to argue that features like sharing, presence, and identity can inadvertently encourage maladaptive use. This work has been foundational in shifting the conversation from individual blame to systemic design responsibility. Vuillier’s contributions are especially valuable for students and researchers in human-computer interaction and digital mental health, as she bridges the gap between user experience and clinical psychology. Her research continues to inform how we think about digital well-being, urging designers and policymakers to consider the ethical implications of engagement-driven platforms.
