Presentation / Conference Contribution
Vargheese, J. P., Collinson, M., & Masthoff, J. (2020, April). Exploring Susceptibility Measures to Persuasion. Presented at 15th International Conference on Persuasive Technology, Aalborg, Denmark

There is increasing evidence that indicates how personalising persuasive strategies may increase the effectiveness of persuasive technologies and behaviour change interventions. This has led to a wide range of studies exploring self reported, perceiv... Read More about Exploring Susceptibility Measures to Persuasion.

Persuasive Strategies for Encouraging Social Interaction for Older Adults (2016)
Journal Article
Vargheese, J. P., Sripada, S., Masthoff, J., & Oren, N. (2016). Persuasive Strategies for Encouraging Social Interaction for Older Adults. International Journal of Human-Computer Interaction, 32(3), 190-214. https://doi.org/10.1080/10447318.2016.1136176

Social isolation among older adults represents a significant societal challenge in which persuasion offers a potential solution. To develop a persuasive interactive system for this purpose, we conducted a modeling study with carers to discover how p...
