Abstract
Digital interventions for promoting behavioural changes have become more and more prevalent, due to the ubiquitous role played by the Web 2.0. Not many of these programmes are however grounded on well established theories, both from a psychological and from a dialogue perspective. We present in this paper a model for incorporating a general framework for abstract argumentation, into a motivational intervention based on the Transtheoretical Model of Behaviour Change. A preliminary implementation of the model as a proof of concept has been carried out on the domain of healthy eating.
