- Exploring the creative process in a brainstorming session to develop a web-based system for idea selectionPublication . Rodrigues, Ana; Honório, David; Cabral, Diogo; Campos, Pedro F.; Pereira Campos, Pedro FilipeBetting on new and promising ideas is fundamental for innovation in various sectors, helping the world that faces so many adversi ties. To increase these ideas, the stages of evaluation and selection of ideas in the creative processes need to be improved and not neglected. To minimize this problem and contribute to the scien tific advance in the creativity-oriented HCI, we present a tool for selecting ideas used after brainstorming sessions. Our prototype is inspired by the conclusions of an observational study that we conducted with six students in a classroom, in which the students’ objective was to plan the making of a video for a social institution that helps the neediest people.
- How do motivational text messages impact motivation to exercise?Publication . Duro, Ligia; Campos, Pedro F.; Romão, Teresa; Karapanos, Evangelos; Pereira Campos, Pedro Filipe; Karapanos, EvangelosWe study the motives of regular and non-regular exercisers’ engagement with motivational text messages and the importance individuals attribute to visual presentation. A total of 160 individuals were surveyed (80 regular exercisers and 80 non regular exercisers). We found regular exercisers use motivational text messages in order to encourage their exercise routine. Non regular exercisers use motivational text messages mainly to try to boost their exercise motivation. Individuals, independent of their exercise profile, prefer to see motivational text messages presented in a mixed way, sometimes as text-only and sometimes embedded in a visual presentation. Participants reported that an aesthetically appealing visual presentation helps instill a positive feeling regarding the text, and the visual presentation was considered as important as the textual content. We conclude with a number of implications for the design of activity trackers.
- The influence of the leaders‘ selection method on team performancePublication . Pacheco, Dulce; Pacheco, Dulce; Soares, Luísa; Soares, Luísa; Soares, Ana LuisaLeadership impacts team performance. More effective leadership at the workplace may improve team performance and, consequently, increase both employees and employers work satisfaction. There is a wide array of studies on effective leadership, but the influence of the way the leader is select on team performance and is not yet clear. We discuss the relationship between the methods used to select the leader and team performance. A study was conducted with a sample of 112 bachelor students working in 17 teams during an 8-week long class project. Team performance was measured by the sub scale Perceived Team Collaboration of the instrument Team Collaborator Evaluator (TCE) and also by the final project grade given by the instructors. Results show that teams have higher performances when their members unanimously choose the leader. Practical implications for the selection of team leaders are discussed.

- You're the voice: evaluating user interfaces for encouraging underserved youths to express themselves through creative writingPublication . Gonçalves, Frederica; Campos, Pedro; Hanna, Julian; Ashby, Simone; Gonçalves, Frederica; Pereira Campos, Pedro FilipeMinority groups are the fastest growing demographic in the U.S. In addition, the poverty level in the U.S. is the highest it has been in the last 50 years. We argue that the communi ty needs more research addressing this user segment, and we present a novel study about how underserved youths react when presented with different UI designs aimed at promoting creative writing. The act of creative writing per se can become the driver of change among underserved teenagers, and researchers should strive to discover novel UI designs that can effectively increase this target group’s productivity, creativity and mental well-being. Using MS Word as baseline, our contribution analyzes the influence of a Zen-like tool (designed by the authors and called Haven), a nostalgic but realistic typewriting tool (Hanx Writer), and a stress-based tool that eliminates writer’s block by provid ing consequences for procrastination (Write or Die). Our results suggest that the Zen characteristics of our tool Ha ven were capable of conveying a sense of calm and concen tration to the users, making them feel better and also write more. The nostalgic Hanx typewriter also fared very well with regard to mental well-being and productivity, as meas ured by average number of words written. Contrary to our initial expectations, the stress-based UI (Write or Die) had the lowest productivity levels.
