About
Emily Arden-Close is a researcher whose work sits at the intersection of digital technology, health psychology, and human behaviour. Her key research areas include problematic social media use, digital health interventions, and the psychological impact of technology design. She is best known for her critical examination of how social media platforms can foster problematic attachments, particularly through the lens of design features such as those in the Honeycomb ecology—sharing, presence, and identity. Her 2019 paper, "When People are Problematically Attached to Social Media: How Would the Design Matter?" (9 citations), has been influential in shaping conversations around user-centred design and digital well-being. Beyond this, Arden-Close has contributed to the development of evidence-based digital health tools, including interventions for behaviour change and mental health support. Her work bridges the gap between technology design and psychological science, offering practical insights for creating healthier online environments. With a growing citation footprint and a focus on real-world impact, she is a thoughtful voice in the evolving dialogue on how we interact with—and are shaped by—digital systems.
