dc.description.abstract | Goal planning behaviours are common to the human experience. Multiple applications focus on goal-planning through extrinsic motivation and a reliance on self-motivation; however, self-motivation continues to be a challenge for users.
How do we help users achieve their goals through the design of applications which target self-actualization?
To address this question, we conduct a three-part study.
In Study 1, we took a qualitative approach to understand the participants’ goal accomplishment journey.
In Study 2, we analyzed the current state-of-the-art by reviewing nine applications on the Google Play Store.
Finally, in Study 3, we test features that allow breaking down goals into sub-goals, denoting the personal significance of each goal, and the availability of satisfactory or 'good-for-now' goal completion notation.
Our results look to understand goal creation and completion alongside various design patterns to inspire behavioural change.
Finally, we contribute design recommendations for successful goal actualization. | en_US |
