This document discusses using behavior change strategies in mobile applications. It notes that engagement with an app and targeting a specific behavior, like exercise or weight loss, are related but different goals. The document cautions against coercion and deception in persuasive design and recommends a straightforward approach. It discusses creating engagement through fun, unpredictability, stimulation, mystery, and self-expression without being overly seductive. Delighting and enchanting users through goals, rules, challenges, feedback and experiences of competence can support behavior change when integrated seamlessly and making use and behavior the same thing. Common persuasion strategies are referenced.

Editor's Notes
- #4 why do you need to know about behavior change -
- #5 create emotional connections with your app, encourage the creation new habits (checking in several times a day), develop your applications so that it fits into existing habits - it happens at a level of feelings, in relation to the product or brand
- #6 otherwise, your app may be targeted to change or create one behavior> a behavior outside of the app: make people go to the cinema more, go exercise, and a behavior inside the app: happens also at the level of feelings, but in relation to a desired behavior
- #7 it is important to distinguish between the two because there is a great difference at the level of persuasive design, and at the moment the separation between the two fields are quite fuzzy
- #8 close to brand identity, make people fall in love with your work,
- #9 targeting behaviors means employing a series of strategies to facilitate the performance of an ACTION if the behavior happens through the app, we are going to see that in more detail in a while
- #10 evokes masterminds of manipulation, maybe you don’t care, but some people do feel bad about using these techniques, I know I do
- #11 without using coercion and deception coercion: when you are forced to go through some steps even when you don’t want to deception: when you for instance sign up for something but you are given something else instead
- #12 Leni Riefenstal/Hitler fear and intimidation
- #13 difference between a message and interaction
- #14 how this doesn’t work with new media in general, and mobile apps the user wants to have its say bring ppl to excellence
- #15 end of digression
- #17 design for engagement is generous, it gives you stuff
- #18 it encourages you to be yourself and to encourage your potential
- #19 it may give you things to do Epic win extra tasks
- #20 users should fall in love with your design
- #22 seduction is that little extra beyond usability, that is the minimum we as designer s have to provide
- #23 Argos eye candy an usual navigation Robbi Leonardi unusual interaction playfulness
- #25 responsible for first Apple marketing 1984 trustworthiness likeability
- #26 Ritzer sociologist enchantment of technology from moments of unpredictability and spontaneity experiences of magical consumption
- #27 things to do: Apply yourself sugar coating mastery
- #28 BE yourself - mastery your personal path of growth
- #29 intrinsic extrinsic motivation
- #30 this concept is very much used in gamification
- #31 gamification just one way to : give things for free, offer delight and enchantment, offer a way to mastery (page app find)
- #32 so again, when your aim is not just to engage users with your app but to create new behaviors, you need persuasive design
- #33 all familiar with BJ Fogg often used in presentations about persuasive design - the point is that this model is not relevant for engagement, this model is useful when you want to create behaviors
- #34 trigger theory some elements are similar to usability, Fogg is accused of being very general and not immediately applicable
- #35 apps that support one behavior
- #36 app support behavior
- #38 behavior support: seamless integration
- #39 Mint: support managing your financing when behavior and use overlap
- #40 use support many applications for bc are very good at making users come back, but experience is all a bit disconnected from the real world and they don’t really support behavior change
- #41 Fig social support adopt new behaviors for a limited time
- #42 the same methods are applied if your goal is not to sustain a behavior but to create a new one they produce a new behavior how do they if your app also produces a new behavior you also better focus on this
- #43 because finally interaction as conversation
- #44 principles of persuasion derived from face to face interaction
