The primary aim of the present research was to examine effect training in negating stereotype associations on activation. Across 3 studies, participants received practice stereotypes related skinhead and racial categories. subsequent automatic activation measured using either a primed Stroop task (Studies I 2) or person categorization (Study 3). results demonstrate that when receiving no nontarget category stereotype, exhibited spontaneous After an extensive amount specific category,...

Background: A lack of physical activity is considered to cause 6% deaths globally. Feedback from wearables such as trackers has the potential encourage daily activity. To date, little research available on natural development adherence or factors that predict which users manage keep using their tracker during first year (and thereby increasing chance healthy behavior change) and discontinue after a short time.

Background Adequate self-management skills are of great importance for patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) to reduce the impact COPD exacerbations. Using mobile health (mHealth) support exacerbation-related could be promising in engaging their own and changing behaviors. However, there is limited knowledge on how design mHealth interventions that effective, meet needs end users, perceived as useful. By following an iterative user-centered (UCD) process, evidence-driven...

Smoking is more prevalent and persistent among lower socio-economic status (SES) compared with higher-SES groups, contributes greatly to SES-based health inequities. Few interventions exist that effectively help lower-SES smokers quit. This study evaluated "De StopCoach", a mobile phone delivered eHealth intervention targeted at based on the evidence-based StopAdvisor, in real-world setting (five municipalities) The Netherlands 2019-2020.

Many intervention development projects fail to bridge the gap from basic research clinical practice. Instead of theory-based approaches development, co-design prioritizes end users' perspective as well continuous collaboration between stakeholders, designers, and researchers throughout project. This alternative approach interventions is expected promote adaptation existing treatment activities be responsive requirements users.The first objective was provide an overview all that were employed...

Understanding snacking behavior and its determinants is crucial in addressing modern dietary patterns. However, existing methods, such as self-reports controlled laboratory studies, exhibit limitations reliability capturing drinking real-life settings. This study aimed to validate the SnackBox, a novel technology designed objectively assess with minimal user effort researcher interference. The capable of storing three different snacks or beverages, automatically measured quantity consumed...

Abstract Background Eating rate is a basic determinant of appetite regulation: people who eat more slowly feel sated earlier and less. A high eating contributes to overeating potentially weight gain. Previous studies showed that an augmented fork delivers real-time feedback on effective intervention decrease in naturalistic settings. This study assessed the impact using during 15-week period body weight. Methods In parallel randomized controlled trial, 141 participants with overweight (age:...

Introduction: There is a lack of effective interventions available for Pediatric Physical Therapists (PPTs) to promote physically active lifestyle in children with physical disabilities. Participatory design methods (co-design) may be helpful generating insights and developing intervention prototypes facilitating disabilities (6–12 years). Materials methods: A multidisciplinary development team designers, developers, researchers engaged co-design process–together parents, PPTs, other...

Smart bathroom technology offers unrivaled opportunities for the automated measurement of a range biomarkers and other data. Unfortunately, efforts in this area are mostly driven by push rather than market pull approach, which decreases chances successful adoption. As yet, little is known about use cases, barriers, desires that potential users smart bathrooms perceive.This study aimed to investigate how participants from general population experience using sensor-equipped toilet seat...

The COVID-19 pandemic has greatly boosted working from home as a way of working, which is likely to continue for most companies in the future, either fully remote or hybrid form. To manage stress levels employees home, insights into stressors and destressors office first need be studied.We present an international study with by making use state-of-the-art technology (ie, smartwatches questionnaires through smartphones) determine people second identify smartwatch measurements that could...

Designing solutions for complex behaviour change processes can be greatly aided by integrating insights from the behavioural sciences into design practice. However, this integration is hampered relative inaccessibility of scientific knowledge. Working in a multidisciplinary researchers and scientists may bridge gap between two fields. This paper shares our experiences working as such group on large project, amongst others consisting interventions workplace safety. Our cooperation was...

Although digital tools for healthy nutrition have shown great potential, their actual impact remains variable as solutions often do not fit users' needs and barriers. This is especially poignant priority communities in society. Involving these groups citizen science may benefits even beyond the increase knowledge of lives experiences groups. However, this requires specialized skills. Participants from could benefit an approach that offers sensitization discussion to help them voice regarding...

Past research on designing for behavioural change mostly concerned linear design processes, whereas in practice, Agile methods are increasingly popular. This paper evaluates the possibilities and limitations of using theory-driven change. We performed a case study, consisting student team working improving waiting experiences at Schiphol Airport security check-in.Our study showed that usable when Moreover, Behavioural Lenses toolkit used process is beneficial facilitating design. The...

Behaviour change design has much to gain with the integration of insights from behavioural sciences in process. However, this needs be done without hampering creative In two rich cases aimed at health and safety behaviour change, we describe our efforts develop a method for theory driven based on Double Diamond. Our attempts integrate Persuasive by Design-model (PbD) into entire case studies demonstrate that indeed augments evidence designs, but only if Diamond process model is complemented...

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) poses significant challenges for patients, requiring continuous monitoring and self-management to improve quality of life.

This workshop provides participants with the opportunity to familiarise themselves Behavioural Lenses Toolkit. toolkit supports designers in using theory from behavioural sciences inform their work. The consists of an introduction and a couple hands-on exercises which we will demonstrate try out establishing use (r) contexts design projects. Furthermore, new prototype tool that making evidence-based transition user insights change strategies.

Background Participation in organized sports and other forms of active living have important health benefits adolescence adulthood. Unfortunately, the transition to secondary school has been shown be a barrier participation. Social networks can play roles activating adolescents, information communication technology (ICT) interventions augment this role. To date, there are few insights into what adolescents themselves think feel about barriers motivators for living, role their social...
