Seminar by Jean-Claude Martin – Motivate to Interact - Interact to Motivate
As part of the LIRIS seminar series,Jean-Claude Martin, Professor at Université Paris-Saclay, will give a talk on the topic of motivation and social interaction in the field of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI).
Abstract
Motivation and social interaction are two core concepts in psychology that are seldom considered together in HCI.
Jean-Claude Martin will present interdisciplinary research that aims to design tailored human-computer interactions that either motivate users to interact with others, or support interactions that aim to motivate users (e.g., motivational technologies for sports and physical activity).
He will explain the individual differences observed and how these differences may help researchers to better understand users and to provide them with tailored, motivational, and social interactions.
