Automated vehicles (AVs) may have broad uses in society, but some applications may be more acceptable than others. Determining contexts in which AVs can acceptably operate is a substantial challenge for policy makers. In an online YouGov survey (N =...

A word of advice: how to tailor motivational text messages based on behavior change theory to personality and gender (2017)
Journal Article
de Vries, R., Truong, K., Zaga, C., Li, J., & Evers, V. (2017). A word of advice: how to tailor motivational text messages based on behavior change theory to personality and gender. Personal and Ubiquitous Computing, 21, 675-687. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00779-017-1025-1

Developing systems that motivate people to change their behaviors, such as an exercise application for the smartphone, is challenging. One solution is to implement motivational strategies from existing behavior change theory and tailor these strategi...
