Standard persuasion variables relevant for messages:

Inputs (independent variables)

Persuasion Process: Steps that individuals must be persuaded

to take for message to have impact: (McGuire,1985)

exposure

attention

liking, interest

comprehension

generating related cognitions

acquiring relevant skills (learning how)

agreeing with message position (attitude change)

storing change in memory

retrieving relevant material from memory

decision making using retrieved material

acting in accord with decision

postaction consolidation of new pattern

continuum of processing effort with

two prototypical modes of persuasion

ability, motivation and opportunity variables

influence depth of processing

persuasion on basis of issue relevant

arguments will be more persistent, behavior

predicting, resistant

What is it?

Persuasive technology is any interactive

computing system designed to change

people's attitudes or behaviors (Fogg, 2003).

a class of technologies that are intentionally

designed to change a person’s attitude or

behaviour (IJsselstein et al., 2006).

Technological media provide experience

Simulated cause- and-effect scenarios

concept: what-if simulations explore potential consequences

mechanism: change beliefs

example: phobia therapy; learning social skills; risk taking

Simulated environments

concept: create situations that reward and motivate

Mechanism:

practice target behavior

exposure to frightening situations

Role playing

manage asthma

Simulated objects

concept: virtual objects in real environment

mechanism: direct experience of object

type of (interactive) feedback will

influence energy consumption

behavior most?

Factual Feedback or

Social Feedback

Page 51: Persuasive Technology -- Influencing behavior, attitudes ...Persuasive technology and persuasive communication Persuasion: Overview Persuasive Technology Definitions Advantages of

Factual Feedback

Feedback condition: Factual feedback

Participants in the factual feedback condition received interactive factual feedback about

their electricity use through the energy meter.

The energy meter gave

participants

factual feedback.

Hypothesis 1:

Social feedback from artificial persuasive agent

promotes behavioral change

Social praise and compliments operate as positive incentives (Bandura & MacDonald, 1963).

Page 58: Persuasive Technology -- Influencing behavior, attitudes ...Persuasive technology and persuasive communication Persuasion: Overview Persuasive Technology Definitions Advantages of

Positivity paradigm underrates negative

feedback > most studies focus on praise

Negative information can be useful

Page 59: Persuasive Technology -- Influencing behavior, attitudes ...Persuasive technology and persuasive communication Persuasion: Overview Persuasive Technology Definitions Advantages of

• Information on relevant aversive consequences more

valuable for adaptation ( e.g. Baumeister etal, 2004)

• Self- regulation based on negative feedback control and

discrepancy reduction mechanism (Bandura, 1989).

• Negativity bias (Rozin & Royzman, 2001)

• attention (Aarts & Dijksterhuis, )

• diagnostic value gives more weight

• Negative info has larger impact when judgment concerns

person’s morality (Martijn et al, 1992; Skowronski, 2002)

Hypothesis 2:

Negative information enhances behavioral change

Conclusions

Social feedback leads to stronger behavior

change than factual feedback

Negative feedback, in particular, enhanced

saving behavior

Social cues need further exploration

Disadvantages of traditional PT

Traditional PT

• needs focal attention

• takes away cognitive resources

• users must be motivated to pay attention to it

A challenge to traditional Persuasive Technology:

• In real-life situations, people do not have these cognitive

resources available!

• Persuasive technology might even give rise to reactance

Great potential for serving human

wellbeing, e.g. health, sustainability, social

responsibility, empowerment.

Need for ethics and regulation, e.g. in

commercial and ideological domains.
