Over the past two decades, several persuasive technologies and behavior change support systems aimed at promoting change in different domains including health, safety and security, environmental sustainability, energy conservation, marketing, and education have been developed. However, most of these technologies adopt the so-called one-size-fits-all approach in their design and evaluation, which has been shown to be far less effective at motivating behavior change.
The goal of the Personalization in Persuasive Technology Workshop is to connect diverse groups of persuasive technology and behavior change researchers and practitioners interested in personalization and tailoring of persuasive technology to share their experiences, ideas, discuss key challenges facing the area, and how to move the field forward. The workshop will cover broad areas of personalization and tailoring, including but not limited to personalization models, design and evaluation methods, and personalized persuasive technologies. We welcome submissions and ideas from any domain of persuasive technology and HCI including, but not limited to health, sustainability, games, safety and security, marketing, eCommerce, entertainment, and education. Workshop papers and ideas will be archived online to be accessible to the general public. The workshop will consist of a brief introduction, presentations of accepted papers, small group interaction, and a closing plenary discussion.
The workshop will be held in conjunction with Persuasive Technology 2016, the 11th International Conference on Persuasive Technologies.
