Abstract(s)
Motivating sustainable behaviors is increasingly becoming an
important topic in the HCI community. While a substantial body of work has
focused on the role of peer-pressure through social networks, we argue that the
community has largely overlooked the importance of strong social ties and
specifically those of family members. We propose the theory of Social
Translucence as a theoretical framework for understanding how eco-feedback
interfaces can integrate with and support existing communication practices
within families. We report on our ethnographic inquiry involving a day
reconstruction study followed by in-depth interviewing with 12 families, which
took place during a six-month deployment of an eco-feedback interface.
Through our study we attempt to inquire into how eco-feedback interfaces: a)
raise mutual awareness of family members’ consumption behaviors, and b)
induce feelings of accountability on individuals regarding their consumption
behaviors.
