多年来，社交配对和约会应用程序的设计一直在不断变化，特别是转向移动的设备，但用户安全历来不是设计的驱动因素，尽管有越来越多的性和其他伤害的证据。本文提出了一个参与式的设计研究与妇女的人口在不成比例的风险伤害，通过应用程序的使用，关于如何移动的社会匹配应用程序可以被设计成前景他们的安全。研究结果表明，参与者希望社交匹配应用程序能够增强女性的自我保护能力，这反映在三个新的应用程序角色中：1）隐形设备，社交匹配应用程序通过该隐形设备帮助女性动态地管理对地理上附近的用户的可见性，2）线人，应用程序通过该线人帮助女性预测与推荐的社交机会相关联的伤害风险，以及3）监护人，通过该应用程序在面对面会议期间监控用户的安全，并增强他们对风险的反应。
The design of social matching and dating apps has changed continually through the years, marked notably by a shift to mobile devices, and yet user safety has not historically been a driver of design despite mounting evidence of sexual and other harms. This paper presents a participatory design study with women-a demographic at disproportionate risk of harm through app-use-about how mobile social matching apps could be designed to foreground their safety. Findings indicate that participants want social matching apps to augment women's abilities for self-protection, reflected in three new app roles: 1) the cloaking device, through which the social matching app helps women dynamically manage visibility to geographically nearby users, 2) the informant, through which the app helps women predict risk of harm associated with a recommended social opportunity, and 3) the guardian, through which the app monitors a user's safety during face-to-face meetings and augments their response to risk.
