Summary
Confirmation steps in the interface that slow the user down, encourage reflection, and prevent impulsive or automatic decisions.
Pattern Description
Request Additional Confirmations introduces extra confirmation steps that require users to consciously verify their actions before proceeding. The goal is to mitigate cognitive biases, prevent automatic or impulsive decisions, and promote a more deliberate and reflective user experience.
Sub patterns
TBD
Usage
Designers can use this pattern in situations where user actions have important consequences or where errors may be costly. It may be implemented via dialog boxes, additional confirmation prompts, or progressive disclosure steps that require users to acknowledge information or validate choices before proceeding.
Examples
TBD
Interaction design implications
Medium level of intervention
Breaks conventional usability principles by intentionally adding friction and slowing down the user flow. May reduce efficiency or frustrate users if overused but improves decision quality and reduces errors in high-stakes contexts.
