“…This behavior can be explained by the fact that the participants mostly did not know each other before the trial and therefore social pressure to work together as a group was low. As has been suggested before [24], collaborative and competitive mechanisms work better if participants know each other: "There is another guy that I know who is participating in the study. So, I'm only just checking to make sure I'm ahead of him.…”

Abstract. Besides other popular strategies, such as feedback and (social) comparisons, challenges have been proposed and used to influence people's behavior towards a targeted goal. However, only very limited data on the effectiveness of such approaches and how to best design them is available yet. In this work we report the findings of a two months field study analyzing the effectiveness and perception of challenges in the context of influencing personal mobility. Individual and collaborative approaches towards challenges were studied, and specific focus was laid on what aspect makes users willing to participate in these challenges. Our findings suggest that both individual and collaborative challenges have the potential to sustain the interest of users in using behavior change support systems, that collaborative and individual challenges seem to not attract different types of users, that individual challenges in general are preferred, and that challenges are only a useful means for a subset of users. Also, ICT-competence seems to be an important aspect of being willing to participate in electronically organized challenges.

“…Istotne znaczenie dla stworzenia warunków sprzyjających kreacji zrówno-ważonej mobilności miejskiej ma uwzględnienie i zaangażowanie wszystkich grup interesariuszy, a w szczególności mieszkańców, którzy na co dzień korzystają z systemu transportu miejskiego i to ich decyzje będą miały decydujące znaczenie w kwestii powodzenia lub porażki podjętych działań (Gabrielli, 2014). Mieszkańcy będący użytkownikami miejskiego systemu transportowego muszą być świadomi, jak podejmowane przez nich decyzje dotyczące wyboru trasy i sposobu przemieszczania się w mieście wpływają na otoczenie i jakość życia w mieście.…”

“…In addition to the 28 persuasive strategies proposed by Oinas-Kukkonen and Harjumaa [6], two more persuasive strategies are identified, including a strategy called "creating of awareness" mentioned in Busch et al [28] and a strategy called "goal-setting" mentioned in Gabrielli et al [9] and Malhotra et al [31].…”

“…Since users with different motives or backgrounds may perceive persuasive strategies in different ways, several researches have stated that individual differences including demographic and psychological factors are important to behavior change for energy usage and saving (Abrahamse and Steg [7]; Frederiks et al [8]). Gabrielli et al [9] developed an Android prototype for sustainable urban mobility that employed four behavior change strategies including goal-setting, self-monitoring, personalized notifications, and sharing. Petkov et al [10] designed a mock-up screen for an eco-feedback system that provides different types of feedback information and the results show that people with different levels of environmental awareness are motivated by different types of feedback.…”

Design for sustainable behavior has become more important for product or service design considering environmental sustainability in the use stage. The goal of this work is to specifically help design for encouraging energy-saving behavior in selecting effective persuasive design strategies and game design elements by considering users' differences. The work begins with screening commonly employed persuasive strategies based on literature and the analysis of existing cases in design for energy-saving behavior. Secondly, a questionnaire survey is conducted to investigate the possible demographic differences on the persuasiveness of the selected persuasive strategies. Thirdly, the selected persuasive strategies are mapped to twenty-nine useful game design elements via an affinity diagram method. The results could help designers choose effective persuasive strategies and game design elements for different user groups. At the end, an illustrative example is presented to show the application potential in design for energy-saving behavior.
