Overview

Alistair Sutcliffe is affiliated with the University of Manchester in the United Kingdom. Their research largely focuses on the intersection of social sciences and psychology, with notable contributions to subfields such as sociology and political science, social psychology, information systems, and education.

The scientist's work encompasses a variety of topics including the impact of technology on adolescents, human-automation interaction and safety, digital marketing and social media, technology adoption and user behaviour, attachment and relationship dynamics, child development and digital technology, as well as cognitive functions and memory.

Recent publications demonstrate engagement with these themes. Among them are:

  • "Why people choose Apps: An evaluation of the ecology and user experience of mobile applications" (2022) published in the International Journal of Human-Computer Studies
  • "Investigating the use of social media in intimate social relationships" (2022) published in Behaviour and Information Technology
  • "Assessment of non-directed computer-use behaviours in the home can indicate early cognitive impairment: A proof of principle longitudinal study" (2022) published in Aging & Mental Health
  • "Using Task Support Requirements During Socio-Technical Systems Design" (2024) published in Preprints.org
  • "A Bayesian network-based model to understand the role of soft requirements in technology acceptance" (2022) published in the Proceedings of the 37th ACM/SIGAPP Symposium on Applied Computing

Throughout their career, Sutcliffe has frequently collaborated with several researchers including Pete Sawyer, Nelly Bencomo, Luis H. Garcia Paucar, Ons Al-Shamaileh, and Robin Dunbar.

Their work is frequently published in venues such as the International Journal of Human-Computer Studies and Behaviour and Information Technology, with additional contributions appearing in Aging & Mental Health, Preprints.org, and the Proceedings of the 37th ACM/SIGAPP Symposium on Applied Computing.
