persuasive technology

Hierarchical View

Definition:

technology designed to cause users to voluntarily change their attitudes or behaviour, through digital feedback and social influence

Context:

persuasive technology uses an influencing algorithm and actuators to provide active feedback to the user. Such feedback can be a change of environmental light, different music, an encouraging message, or an anonymous comparison with a reference (e.g., peers). Since Fogg's seminal work in 2002, persuasive technology has obtained a position on the border of social sciences and engineering.
