ABSTRACT
Diverse persuasive applications that aim for behavioural changes have been developed. However, the method in which particular persuasive design principles are chosen over others remains unclear. Meanwhile, the use of socio-ecological model has been widely utilized in clinical research, as a basis to understand the factors in the entire ecological system that influences behavioural patterns. Because persuasive technology aims to change the behaviour and attitudes of users, we believe that the use of socio-ecological model would be beneficial to inform the design of persuasive applications. Accordingly, in this paper, we attempt to demonstrate the mapping of the socio-ecological factors and persuasive design principles by conducting interviews and expert reviews. Based on our approach, 12 socio-ecological factors that influence physical activity behaviour, and corresponding relevant persuasive design principles to deal with these factors, are identified.

Goal-setting considerations for persuasive technologies that encourage physical activity
Persuasive '09: Proceedings of the 4th International Conference on Persuasive TechnologyGoal-setting has been shown to be an effective strategy for changing behavior; therefore employing goal-setting in persuasive technologies could be an effective way to encourage behavior change. In our work, we are developing persuasive technologies to ...
