In the field of Human-Computer Interaction design, persuasive design has gradually been applied to the system development and design process, especially for mobile application design. However, most mobile applications have hitherto a very short using lifecycle. Especially, design features with long-term persuasive effectiveness remain to be further researched and developed. In this study, we focused on investigating and identifying the durative persuasive design characteristics through a data mining process and evaluating the durative effectiveness through a long-term observation process. Total five hundred healthcare-related mobile applications were selected from Apple iTunes Store and a mixed method was conducted to extract the most common persuasive design characteristics. Based on the results of extraction, a representative healthcare-related mobile application was selected as experimental subject. Total one hundred and twenty participants were observed during a six-months experiment and the monitoring data of app usage of all participants was collected once a week. According to the evaluation model for behavior change identification process, participants with habit formation features were proved to have a significant long-term perception level for ten persuasive design characteristics. Further interview research was performed to investigate the participant's long-term perceptions on those characteristics for the purpose of identifying the durative persuasions. The results indicated that a long-term durative effectiveness can be observed and healthcare-related apps designed with those characteristics could have durative effectiveness. This study may contribute to the improvement of future mobile application designs in user experience and durative persuasion, as well as bringing future benefits for both mobile application developers and users.

This study sought to examine the effectiveness of mobile applications, which have recently increased persuasion effects by stimulating consumer experiences. In particular, to determine how content for public interest affects users' attitudes and beliefs, we selected interactivity and public interest as characteristics of mobile applications and examined their relationship. One of the actual applications was selected for research and the reactions of subjects who experienced it were investigated. As a result, the interactivity and public interest of mobile applications were found to have a direct and indirect influence on content attitude and beliefs, and it was confirmed that content attitude can affect beliefs. These research results show that cognitive structure can be influenced by reinforcing the audience's attitude toward content.

최근 건강에 대한 사회 전반의 관심이 증대되면서 자신의 건강을 체크하고 행동 및 습관을 변화시키기 위해 휴대용 건강 체크 기기를 사용하는 사람들이 늘고 있다. 휴대용 기기 중에서 모바일은 네트워크를 사용하여 시간과 장소에 상관없이 정보 제공이 가능하기 때문에 설득적 매체로 각광받고 있다. 모바일을 통해 사용자의 태도 및 행동을 변화시키는 서비스를 제공하기 위해서는 효과적인 설득의 전략을 세워야 한다. 신뢰성(credibility)은 사람이 어떠한 대상에 대해서 믿을 수 있다고 인지한 정도를 의미하는 것으로 일반적인 설득 커뮤니케이션에서 사용자의 태도 및 행동을 변화시키는 것에 큰 영향을 주는 것으로 알려져 있다. 본 연구에서는 모바일의 매체적 설득 효과별 알아보고, 신뢰성에 영향을 주는 요인을 전문성과 믿음성으로 나누어 이들 요인에 따라서 사용자의 태도 및 행동 변화가 어떻게 달라지는지 실험을 통해 분석하였다. 실험 결과 웹을 통해 실험에 참여한 사람보다 모바일을 통해서 실험에 참가한 사람들의 식생활 개선이 크게 나타났다. 이를 통하여 웹보다 모바일의 매체적 설득 효과가 크다는 사실을 앞 수 있었다. 또한 전문가의 메시지를 받은 그룹 참가자들 중에서 설득 메시지에 대하여 인지된 신뢰성을 높게 평가한 사람의 개선 정도가 크게 나타났다. 인지된 신뢰성은 서비스 만족도에 영향을 준다는 사실도 알 수 있었는데, 이는 모바일 환경에서 신뢰성 제공 전략은 설득력을 높이기 위한 전략이면서도 사용자의 서비스 만족도를 높이기 위한 전략이 된다는 것을 의미한다. 본 연구 결과는 모바일을 통해서 사용자에게 동기를 부여하고 더 나아가 직접적인 행동 수정이 이루어지도록 하는데 이용될 수 있을 것이다.

Purpose The purpose of this study focused on adopting production systems in cognitive psychology to improve the extraction process of persuasive design characteristics for healthcare-related mobile applications. Design/Methodology/Approach A research approach with four stages was developed. We developed and updated the evaluation guideline for persuasive design characteristics (PDC). We tried to summarize and analyze each of 28 PDC and prepared related production rules. Verification process for both guideline approach and production system approach were performed. Top one hundred apps from both medical category and health and Fitness category were selected and evaluated by two approaches. By comparing the results of the two approaches, we tried to explain the improvement and reliability of introducing the production system in the PDC extraction process. Findings Based on the updated guideline for healthcare-related mobile applications, a production system in cognitive psychology was developed. By comparing the PDC extraction results by two approaches, production system showed a better improvement for evaluation precision and efficiency for decision-making process. The findings of this study can be used for researchers and app developers to apply production system to analyze, evaluate, and develop better healthcare-related apps with persuasion.

This study conducted to analyze the difference of perceived benefits, psychological well-being, exercise application attachment, and perceived exercise achievement according to the message frame provided in the mobile fitness game. Repeated Measure Design and Playtest methodologies were used for this research. As a result, when gain messages were shown, all factors were higher than the case of showing loss message. The results of this study emphasize that when persuasion messages need to be presented through a health functional game, gain messages can be more effectively delivered to the users of health functional game than loss messages.

The PMIPv6 protocol that has been recently presented as an alternative for the MIPV6 has been getting much persuasion by the system resource and the network bandwidth and the advancement of the network cost. we propose an effective scheduling for multicast services based on the PMIPv6 with hand-over mechanism. it provides an additional function that is able to change multicast join processes dynamically in accordance with MAG status. in order to evaluate the ability of the proposed scheme's We test the performance of hand-over and node join costs with similar techniques. The result of simulation shows improves about 13~35% of performance.
