Understanding Users' Creation of Behavior Change Plans with Theory-Based Support

Published: 18 April 2015 Publication History

Abstract

The goal of this project is to develop tools that support users' creation of their own behavior-change plans. We conducted two formative user studies to explore people's creation of plans for their own behavioral goals. Users were provided with minimal support to facilitate goal-setting, use of behavior-change techniques, and self-monitoring. In this paper, we present insights on how to further facilitate personalization of behavior-change plans.
