16^thINTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON PERSUASIVE TECHNOLOGIES CONFERENCE (PERSUASIVE 2021)

12 April 2021-14 April 2021, Bournemouth University, United Kingdom

Scope & Topics

In a world in which technology is increasingly present in people’s lives, and changing human behavior and attitudes is often the key to solving many societal and personal problems, studying how technology might be used to influence humans (in their behavior, attitudes and information processing), is paramount. Persuasive Technology is a vibrant interdisciplinary research field, focusing on the design, development and evaluation of technologies aimed at influencing people’s attitudes and/or behaviors through informed persuasion, but not through coercion or deception. The research community aims at enriching people’s lives in various domains such as health, sustainability, education and well-being, by supporting the setting and achieving of goals they set for themselves, and thus change their behaviors.

Topics of Interest :

• Persuasive systems’ design
• Behaviour change support systems
• Interaction with persuasive systems, interfaces, visualisation
• AI for persuasive technology
• Tailored, personalised and proactive persuasion
