以社群激勵系統輔助促健活動之研究

Abstract

精神疾病，如紧张，焦虑和抑郁等是全世界最常见的和普遍的问题。控制精神疾病是非常重要的，因為一旦他們從輕微轉變成嚴重狀態，就会影響我們的日常生活。在这篇论文中，我們设计一个社群激勵的系统輔助促健活動，希望使用者通過我們系統提供的調身調心調息活動，每天做練習來幫助使用者達到放鬆減壓的效果。我們的系統架在網路上，共有65位測試者參與了我們的系統測驗，而我們的實驗進行長達兩個星期（14天）。我們的系統設計主要分成兩個部份。在第一個部份上，我們希望探討使用者是否可以通過我們系統內所提供調身調心調息的多媒體內容，每天各做10分鐘並以早午晚分散式的方式來進行，進而有效幫助使用者減少每天在生活上所產生的壓力，抑郁以及焦慮等精神狀態。我們第二個主要探討的部份是關於我們的系統設計。我們的系統使用了社群的機制，並提供了遊戲，簡訊傳送激勵，社群留言以及分發獎金的各種激勵機制。我們想要研究使用者是否能通過我們所提供的各種激勵機制，幫助使用者們互相激勵彼此每天做調身調心調息的活動，並提高甚至延續他們做活動的時間以及活動量。除此，我們也探討了使用者兩個星期使用我們系統內容的模式。經過測試者14天的測試結果發現，我們的社群激勵系統可以幫助使用者達到減壓效果。而且通過我們系統設計所提供各種激勵機制，有助使用者達到相互激勵的效果並提高了他們每天做調身調心調息的活動量以及讓使用者更能持續做運動。

Mental illnesses such as stress, anxiety and depression are some of the most common and pervasive issues worldwide. Controlling mental illness is important. If these states are overwhelming, they would affect our daily lives. So, in this thesis, we design a new system for persuasive effectiveness and mental care in order to help people reduce their mental illness. We built our persuasive system on website. 65 participants were took part in our experiment. We carried our experiment along 2 weeks. Our system design were divided into two parts. First part, we want to discover through the body, mind and breathing exercises 10 minutes respectively everyday by dispersing time into morning, afternoon and night and base on the contents provided from our system may help to reduce stress, anxiety and depression. Our second part system design were developed to explore whether through the social interaction or activities design provided may help to persuade in increase participants performance. We studied the persuasive effect against social interaction, by asking our participants to form group and practice exercises together. Beside that, we also investigated the affect and interaction on participants against message sending (sms), group chat, reward , virtual icon and members performance. As a result, we found the effectiveness of doing body, mind and breathing exercises 10 minutes respectively everyday by dispersing time and base on the contents provided from our system may help to reduce stress, anxiety and depression. We also proved that social interaction could help to increase the performance.
