			\|Summary=Guiding the user toward more balanced and reflective decisions by presenting alternative perspectives.
			\|Description=Offer Multiple Points of View provides the user with contrasting or complementary viewpoints to counteract confirmation bias and automatic decision-making. The additional perspectives should not be seen as restrictions but as prompts that help users consider broader implications before acting. Presenting multiple viewpoints creates a moment of reflection within the interaction flow, leading the user to reassess their choices with expanded contextual awareness.
			\|Usage=This pattern can be applied when the goal is to ensure conscious decision-making by the user. Instead of blocking actions or imposing delays, this approach broadens the decision space with more information. It is suitable in contexts where cognitive biases (like confirmation bias) may hinder balanced judgment. For example, consent flows, recommendation systems, time-management decisions etc.

=Summary=
Guiding the user toward more balanced and reflective decisions by presenting alternative perspectives.

=Pattern Description=
Offer Multiple Points of View provides the user with contrasting or complementary viewpoints to counteract confirmation bias and automatic decision-making. The additional perspectives should not be seen as restrictions but as prompts that help users consider broader implications before acting. Presenting multiple viewpoints creates a moment of reflection within the interaction flow, leading the user to reassess their choices with expanded contextual awareness.

=Sub patterns=
<h4>Opposing Perspectives</h4>
Challenging the user’s initial assumption with an alternative interpretation.

<h4>Complementary Perspectives</h4>
Broadens the contextual field around the decision

=Usage=
This pattern can be applied when the goal is to ensure conscious decision-making by the user. Instead of blocking actions or imposing delays, this approach broadens the decision space with more information. It is suitable in contexts where cognitive biases (like confirmation bias) may hinder balanced judgment. For example, consent flows, recommendation systems, time-management decisions etc.

=Examples=
<ul>
<li>Instagram time-limit.
<li>Autoplay interface in streaming platforms.
<li>Cookie consent dialogs.
</ul>

=Interaction Design Implications=
When using this pattern, the system must clarify available options without being too insistent. It is important to emphasize autonomy: the user should remain in control, and the system should assist rather than direct behavior. Offering multiple points of view can be combined with other friction patterns to reinforce reflection. When implemented effectively, it contributes to digital well-being by reducing impulsive engagement and enhancing awareness of consequences.

=Relation with Other Patterns=
<ul>
<li>[[Remind of the Consequences]]
<li>[[Confront the User]]
<li>[[Induce Pauses]]
<li>[[Provoke Deliberate Interactions]]
</ul>
