Exploring the Relationship Between Intrinsic Motivation and Receptivity to mHealth Interventions
Get PDFJust-in-Time Adaptive Interventions aim to deliver the right type and amount of support at the right time. This involves determining a user\u27s state of receptivity - the degree to which a user is willing to accept, process, and use the intervention. Although past work has found that users are more receptive to notifications they view as useful, there is no existing research on whether users\u27 intrinsic motivation for the underlying topic of mHealth interventions affects their receptivity. To explore this, we conducted a study with 20 participants over three weeks, where participants interacted with a chatbot-based digital coach to receive interventions about mental health, COVID-19, physical activity, and diet & nutrition. We found that significant differences in mean intrinsic motivation scores across topics were not associated with differences in mean receptivity metrics across topics. However, we discovered positive relationships between intrinsic motivation measures and receptivity for interventions about a topic

Streets for the People: Rethinking Urban Mobility
Get PDFThis lesson embarks on an exploration of how America’s deep-rooted car culture emerged and its lasting impact on modern life. Students will understand the decline of early public transportation systems and how World War II catalyzed rapid technological advancements, leading to a shift in infrastructure and business priorities. They\u27ll analyze how post-war economic prosperity fueled mass motorization, with cars becoming a status symbol for Americans. Three key drivers—post-WWII technological advancements, urban sprawl, and the rise of car culture—serve as a framework for understanding the U.S.\u27s car reliance. Through evidence-based analysis, students will then apply these concepts to case studies, deducing why cities remains so car-centric. They will consider factors such as climate, geography, political and economic resistance to change, and cultural values. Ultimately, the lesson challenges students to reflect on the sustainability of current transportation systems and explore potential solutions to create a more equitable and environmentally-friendly future
