We implemented 5 different interface designs and test its effectiveness through user studies to determine the impact of hiding information during linkage decisions. There are three different versions of the user study where participants can get hands on experience. User study 1.1 provides an in depth experience of any given mode. User study 1.2 provides a comprehensive experience of all 5 modes (1 hour). Finally, user study 1.3 provides a shortened version of user study 1.2 (20 minutes). In this period, user study 1.1 and 1.2, involving participants and an expert committee, were completed and we are currently completing user study 1.3. Try the links below to experience the tradeoff between information disclosure and linkage decisions.
