positive friction

正向摩擦：一种设计理念，指在交互中刻意保留或制造适度的阻力与延迟，引导用户放慢节奏、进入反思，或感知到系统正在认真处理任务。

English Definition

"A design principle that intentionally introduces small obstacles, pauses, or resistance in an interaction to slow users down, encourage reflection, or signal that meaningful processing is occurring."

用法说明 · 针对中文母语者

不要和 bug、卡顿混淆——positive friction 是设计师有意为之、可被调控的体验变量。在 LLM、付款流程、表单填写等场景中常见。

常见错误

·误以为是负向体验或设计缺陷
·把它和'可用性'对立起来——实际是对'越快越好'的可用性教条的修正
