Abstract Details

2015, MDES, University of Cincinnati, Design, Architecture, Art and Planning: Design.
This research aims to investigate a new tool for designers to foster behavior change via interaction design. To respond to this question, a set of case studies was conducted to analyze the existing interaction designs which are successful in changing people’s behavior. Later on, the findings were synthesized and developed into a new design method. Then this tool was used to design a mobile app which aims at developing the cross culture connection between the incoming international students and the native students in the United States. The goal of this thesis research is to provide the designers a way to think about how to foster behavior change more naturally and effectively. Ultimately, this method can also be used in other design disciplines to better behavior change.
