Stable Intimacy: Design of online communication as a tool to enhance wellbeing
Intimidad estable: diseño de comunicación en línea como herramienta para potenciar el bienestar
Humans have the innate need to belong and relate to others. stable relationships are a great influencer of happiness and health and, therefore, should receive stronger attention for their nurture. online environment is steadily becoming the pri-mary source of relationship formation, however, its instability poses threats to build stable relationships. since online com-munication is increasingly used in relationship formation and communication, it holds opportunities for design interventions that support stable relationship creation. this paper introduces a pyramidical laddering approach that guides the building of online communication from the basis of stable creation of intimacy, to satisfying the needs of belonging and relatedness, to ultimately delivering well-being. the approach that was developed through the authors’ prior research aims to deal with the identified main barriers of online communication, distrust and disengagement, and their influence on the formation of sta-ble connections in order to enable healthy intimacy formation in the online environment. this paper brings attention to the importance of romantic relationships on health and highlights opportunities for further research in the thus far under-re-searched area of design for relation making to support well-being and health of society.

Over the last decade, design for behaviour change has become increasingly recognised as a strategy for enabling social change. Despite
this, we are far from understanding its implementation, especially through the private and public sectors. This study has surveyed private
and public sector stakeholders with regard to their current knowledge of, and approach to, design for behaviour change. The aim was
to identify the challenges for professional stakeholders in understanding, accessing and implementing design for behaviour change.
Underpinned by a literature review of design for behaviour change theories and approaches, an online survey and two focus groups with private and public sector stakeholders were conducted with particular focus on small and medium size enterprises (SMEs). The results identified that there is a significant disconnect between available theoretical knowledge of design for behaviour change and its practical implementation. Reasons for this include a lack of awareness and common language, of evidence based examples, and of evaluation methods and inter-sector collaborations. In response, a set of recommendations has been developed to propose ways forward for the wider
understanding and application of design for behaviour change. ...
