U-Fade

Abstract

Although persuasive technology continues to impact behavioural and attitudinal interventions, research has demonstrated that existing design approaches are faced with limitations that impede their effective use. Mostly, they become obsolete, as user needs change during the use of the persuasive application. This research therefore proposes the Unified Framework for Analysing, Designing and Evaluating persuasive systems (U-FADE). The proposed framework integrates concepts from various existing models to provide a systematic approach that facilitates persuasive design. It addresses the issue of changing needs of users by considering external and internal activities that may promote or impede persuasion before and during implementation.

Persuasive technologies design for mental and behavioral health platforms: A scoping literature review

“…It was noted that the PSD model proposed by Oinas-Kukkonen and Harjumaa [ 13 ] was generally present in other frameworks, as with Wiafe and colleagues [ 19 ], Murillo-Munoz and colleagues [ 23 ], and Alpay and colleagues [ 24 ]. This highlights the influential role of the PSD model in the development of persuasive systems.…”

“…Wiafe and colleagues [ 19 ] proposed the Unified Framework for Analyzing, Designing, and Evaluating persuasive systems (U-FADE), which draws upon the PSD model developed by Oinas-Kukkonen and Harjumaa [ 13 ]. The U-FADE framework comprises 5 steps:…”

“…The U-FADE framework proposed by Wiafe and colleagues [ 19 ] incorporates the PSD model but also offers designers an iterative approach to refine the persuasive strategies employed in the system. However, Wiafe and colleagues applied the PSD model in its original form, suggesting that any limitations inherent to the PSD model could similarly impact the U-FADE framework.…”

“…The EMVE-DeCK framework, as introduced by Oyibo [ 28 ], bears similarities to the framework introduced by Wiafe and colleagues [ 19 ]. Both methodologies begin with an analysis of the target behavior, followed by the selection of pertinent persuasive strategies from the PSD model and a subsequent evaluation of the applied implementation.…”
