- PublicationAccès libreCare-Based Eco-Feedback Augmented with Generative AI: Fostering Pro-Environmental Behavior through Emotional Attachment(2024-04-11)
; ; ; ; Lights out! With the escalating climate crisis, eco-feedback has gained prominence over the last decade. However, traditional ap- proaches could be underperforming as they often use data-driven strategies and assume that people only need additional information about their consumption to change behavior. A proposed path to overcome this issue is to design eco-feedback to foster emotional connections with users. However, not much is known about the effectiveness of such designs. In this paper, we propose a novel care- based eco-feedback system. Central to the system is a Tamagotchi- inspired digital character named Infi who gets its life force from the user’s energy savings. Additionally, we harness the latest ad- vancements in generative artificial intelligence to enhance emo- tional attachment through conversational interactions that users can have with Infi. The results of a randomized controlled experi- ment (N=420) convey the fact that this design increases emotional attachment, which in turn increases energy-saving behavior. - PublicationAccès libreOn the Impact of Digital Boosts on Perceived Stress in a Self-Regulated Learning Experiment(2024-01-03)
; ; ; ; Self-regulated learning (SRL) has been adopted as a successful strategy for promoting deeper learning and improving academic performance. In this context, digital boosts have been used to empower learners by expanding their competencies and helping them reach their objectives. However, existing literature has primarily focused on the academic performance-related outcomes of digital boosts, while their potential effects on emotional and psychological aspects like stress and well-being remain comparatively under-explored. In this study, we address this gap by studying the impact of digital boosts on perceived stress, in addition to study time. We have designed a digital SRL support system, through which we have delivered digital feedback boosts. To evaluate this system, we conducted a pilot study with 60 university students. Our digital boosts have helped students keep a steady study time. However, they have caused an increase in perceived stress, especially among students who did not attain their study time plans. - PublicationAccès libreDigital Ethics Canvas: a Guide for Ethical Risk Assessment and Mitigation in the Digital Domain(2023)
