Abstract(s)
Applications aiming at behavior change are gaining
momentum within HCI. Much of that work has been built
upon the idea of psychological empowerment. We report on
a qualitative study that aimed at inquiring at an alternative
path to behavior change through strengthening individuals’
feelings of personal accountability. Two behavior-change related scenarios were construed to evaluate how people
perceive socially translucent systems aiding the process of
behavior adaptation. We found that motivation to change is
shaped by the access to information concerning one’s
behavior, by the type of provided feedback and the strength
of the social ties accessing that information. Based on these
results we propose an initial model defining possible
approaches that can be considered when designing socially
translucent systems supporting behavior change.
