Abstract

This research paper investigates the evolving role of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) in shaping user experiences and behaviors on social media platforms. As digital spaces become increasingly integral to communication and self-expression, understanding the intersection of user interface design, interaction models, and behavioral feedback mechanisms becomes crucial. This study adopts a qualitative and analytical methodology, reviewing prominent platforms like Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and X (formerly Twitter). It explores how persuasive technologies and algorithmic personalization influence attention spans, social validation cycles, and user autonomy. Findings reveal that while HCI innovations have enhanced accessibility and engagement, they also contribute to challenges such as digital addiction, echo chambers, and reduced critical thinking. By critically analyzing dark patterns, algorithmic transparency, and interface usability, this paper proposes a user-centric approach to HCI that promotes ethical design, emotional well-being, and informed interaction. The paper concludes with recommendations for platform developers and researchers to build future systems that prioritize meaningful human experiences over manipulative metrics.
