Fictional or Real? a review of how gamification types effect eco-driving on the road

Transportation Research Part F: Traffic Psychology and Behaviour, 107, s. 288- 300. Doi: 10.1016/j.trf.2024.08.036 - Fulltekst i vitenarkiv

This study reviews the research on the use of gamification in the eco-driving context. Through a systematic literature review (N=28), it analyzes the effectiveness of different gamification types (i.e., achievement, social, and fictional). Their effectiveness is investigated from a theory of affordances perspective, and gamification affordances, psychological outcomes, and behavioral outcomes are analyzed in detail in the reviewed corpus. The results show that achievement-oriented gamification is the most prominent type of gamification that has been studied and has shown largely positive results in improving energy-efficient driver behavior, such as reduced fuel consumption and acceleration. In contrast, there is little research on the effectiveness of social and fictional gamification. Additionally, there is a need for research to clarify the psychological effects of specific gamification affordances. In light of the current research, the study provides design implications as well as avenues for future research.

Can cat videos harm your relationships? Hedonic and utilitarian content as technological antecedents of phubbing

Computers in Human Behavior, 149, s. 1- 10. Doi: 10.1016/j.chb.2023.107964 - Fulltekst i vitenarkiv

This paper investigates how hedonic and utilitarian content consumption and the habitual use of social media, specifically Facebook, affect phubbing behavior. The research model was tested using a cross-sectional survey (N = 220) conducted via Prolific. The participants were chosen from among those who use Facebook as their most frequent social media service on their smartphones. The results showed that utilitarian content has a more prominent effect on phubbing than hedonic content. Furthermore, for females, hedonic content positively affects phubbing when it is consumed habitually, and the effect of habitual use on phubbing differs significantly between males and females. These results suggest that technological affordances can induce phubbing behavior differently between males and females and that social media providers should consider the customization of displayed content in a way that will not induce phubbing behavior. The results also provide implications for social contexts and different relationships. Accordingly, the consumption of hedonic and utilitarian social media content should be regulated (e.g., by parents, schools), and education regarding content consumption should be provided. This study contributes to phubbing research by providing a technological perspective on its antecedents.

Gamified eco-driving: A systematic literature review

CEUR Workshop Proceedings, 3405, s. 184- 191.

Due to the ongoing social turmoil and the climate crisis, passenger road vehicles face increasing pressure to improve energy-efficiency. A central aspect of this endeavor is to motivate drivers to adopt a more energy-efficient driving style. In that respect, the use of information systems (IS) can be a game changer. Among motivational IS, especially gamification is a promising approach to encourage eco-driving as it has the potential to direct user behavior by providing positive experiences like those experienced when playing games. However, despite the emerging interest on gamified eco-driving, there is a lack of comprehensive understanding on how gamification has been applied in the eco-driving domain, hindering the understanding of how it should be designed in this context and what areas need further research inquiries. Therefore, this study synthesizes existing research on gamified eco-driving (17 studies) through a systematic literature review. Based on the results, performance-based and social gamification are most applied, while they aim at encouraging a relatively comprehensive set of different ecodriving behaviors by addressing the motivational hurdles related to eco-driving. We encourage future research endeavors to consider a wider variety of gamification types and be more transparent about the goals of implementing gamification and evaluate the psychological effects accordingly.
