Hållbar Digital Mathandel

Eriksson, Anton, Ståhl, Linus January 2016 (has links)
Den här studien handlar om hur hållbar digital mathandel kan stödjas med hjälp av övertalande design. Hållbar utveckling har blivit ett centralt diskussionsämne de senaste decenniet och mat står för en betydande del av en individs miljöpåverkan. Genom en designstudie har en workshop använts för att undersöka kontexten och dess användare. Tre designprinciper formades med hjälp av empirin från workshopen och den relaterade litteraturen. Dessa principer byggdes in i en prototyp som utvärderades i den tilltänkta kontexten. Studiens resultat är tre designprinciper som är specifika för kontexten hållbar digital mathandel: transparens, representativitet och personifiering.

Principles of Green Design: Developing a Framework for Product Testing

Esposito, Nicole Elise 14 March 2013 (has links)
A problem exists that many eco-friendly products on the market today are not widely accepted by consumers. Three pilot experiments were conducted to examine a few causes of poor eco-friendly product acceptance. The first two experiments involved the testing of alternative products to disposable plastic water bottles. Two hypotheses were developed- the attitude hypothesis and the user activity hypothesis. The attitude hypothesis states that a person with a positive environmental attitude will lead to better eco-friendly product recommendation and rating, greater product uses, and a greater chance of continued use. The user activity hypothesis states that a product with difficult set-up or cleaning will lead to a worse product recommendation and rating, fewer product uses, and a smaller chance of continued use. Participants took home a product to test for one week and then returned to complete two surveys- a demographics survey and a product evaluation survey. These surveys measured variables such as environmental attitude, product recommendation and rating, number of uses, continued use, and many others. The results of the experiments show a relation between environmental attitude and the participants’ future usage with the eco-friendly product. In addition, the data shows that difficulty of product set-up and cleaning relate to the users’ opinion of the product. Since this methodology of testing has not been documented before, the lessons learned from these pilot experiments will help to develop a framework for product testing with human ubjects. The third pilot experiment tests the design method of defaults, which may be a powerful tool when designing eco-friendly products. The theory behind the default option is that people typically choose the default setting on a product, regardless if it is the best option. This theory was tested with the use of automatic paper towel dispensers. The lengths of the paper towels that the machines dispensed were changed periodically and the paper towel usage was measured. The results from this experiment indicate that users obey the rule of defaults, unless their needs are not being met at an extreme level.

Usability versus Persuasion in an Application Interface Design : A study of the relationship between Usability & Persuasion in a smart-phone application designed to help optimise domestic energy use and reduce CO² emission.

Freeney, Donal January 2014 (has links)
This thesis explores the relationship between usability and persuasion in the design of the interface for a smart-phone application. Using a usability study of an I-phone app combined with interviews with users and the designers, the roles of usability and persuasion in the design of the app and their influence on each other as design goals is discussed from both the users’ and designers’ perspectives. The application’s purpose is to support behavior change in users by giving them feedback on their electricity use in order to encourage them to switch their pattern of usage to reduce CO² emissions. This thesis should be of interest to interaction designers faced with the challenge of designing interfaces that are simultaneously both user-friendly and persuasive. While it is generally accepted that usability has a positive effect on the potential of a design to be persuasive little is known about the effects, if any, of persuasion on usability. This thesis proposes that the relationship between these two design principles is more complex than is generally assumed and that in certain situations they may even be traded off against one another.  This trade-off could be useful for designers framing design challenges involving usability and persuasion.

Do you have any left? : Three triggers to persuade into sustainable behaviour within e-grocery

Bishop Källberg, Kayleigh, Vaquez Crabtree, Zephyr Orlando January 2021 (has links)
The concern about the rising food waste has drawn the attention of policy makers around the world, from France banning supermarkets throwing away unused food, to a more global perspective, with the UN aiming to reduce food waste by 50% by 2025 (Hinckley, 2018; Valencia, 2016). As the concern about food waste increases - so does the concern about what role e-grocery will play in it. By reason of the decreasing sense of ownership of the product, it is likely that food waste will increase (Illyuk, 2018). It has been demonstrated that persuasive design is an efficient tool to influence users’ habits within e-grocery, but currently it is primarily used to influence purchases and subsequently waste more (Chu et al., 2014).  We believed that e-grocery showed potential to also be able to counteract the food waste with the help of persuasive design. This research therefore aimed to investigate if persuasive design could be used for more sustainable purposes; meaning to decrease food waste instead of inciting overconsumption. Using current e-grocery triggers from Chu et al. (2014), this research has repurposed them to pursue a more sustainable approach. The triggers (default personalisation, reminder, suggestion & expertise-credibility) performed within a design- oriented research. The aim was to use the prototype in affiliation with criteria, that would prove their effectiveness through critical perspectives of the literature.  A study was set up with 12 respondents, in which they were asked to navigate the prototype with tasks. After navigating the prototype, they were asked questions based of the criteria. Analysing and evaluating the empiric data with the criteria helped to conclude three triggers that could be useful within e-grocery to reduce food waste.

Designing a Persuasive Mobile Application for Sharing Food Between Students and Restaurants / Att med Persuasive Design skapa en mobilapplikation i syfte att dela mat mellan studenter och restauranger

Häkkä, Max January 2019 (has links)
Food waste is a monumental problem as food production accounts for nearly a third of greenhouse gas emissions globally and nearly a third of it ends up as waste. By changing people’s behaviors and attitudes, this surplus food could be eaten instead. Persuasive technologies can be an effective way of changing people’s behaviors; however, they may narrow down the view of sustainability if applied in a manner that focuses too much on individuals (among other things). In this thesis project the focus has been on how to best design a persuasive application that reduces food waste by considering the needs of both restaurants and consumers. Two versions of an application were created based on interviews with students and restaurants, where one of the applications included features based on Persuasive Systems Design (PSD). A user study was then conducted, where the users received a number of tasks to complete and answered a questionnaire on the PSD features afterwards. The results showed that both of the applications had a similar number of errors from the users during the tasks. Besides this, all of the four features based on PSD were rated positively by users, with all features having a mean rating of 0.83 or higher on a 7-point Likert scale / Matavfall är ett monumentalt problem då livsmedelsproduktionen står för nästan en tredjedel av utsläppen av växthusgaser globalt, samtidigt som en tredjedel av livsmedlen blir avfall. Genom att förändra människors beteenden och attityder skulle detta överskott av mat kunna ätas istället. Persuasive Systems Design (PSD) kan vara ett effektivt sätt att förändra människors beteenden, men kan också begränsa synen på hållbarhet om det tillämpas på ett sätt som fokuserar för mycket på exempelvis individer. I denna avhandling har fokus varit på hur man bäst kan designa en mobilapplikation med hjälp av PSD-principer, som minskar matavfall genom att ta hänsyn till behoven hos både restauranger och konsumenter. Två versioner av en mobilapplikation skapades med utgångpunkt i intervjuer med studenter och restauranger, där en av applikationerna innehöll funktioner baserade på PSD-principer. En användarstudie genomfördes sedan, där användarna fick ett antal uppgifter för att genomföra. Användarna besvarade sedan ett frågeformulär om PSD-funktionerna. Resultaten visade att användarna gjorde ungefär lika många antal fel i båda applikationer under uppgifterna. Utöver detta bedömdes alla fyra funktioner baserade på PSD positivt av användarna, då alla funktioner bedömdes som 0,83 eller högre i genomsnitt på en 7-punkts Likert-skala.

Det mörka kakreceptet : Dark Patterns och användarens inställning till cookie-förfrågningar på statliga och kommersiella webbsidor / The Dark Cookie Recipe : Dark Patterns and the user’s attitude towards cookie prompts on Governmental and commercial websites

Stavnjak, Niklas, Bröddén, Olivia January 2023 (has links)
Sedan införandet av dataskyddsförordningen GDPR den 25 maj 2018 har internetanvändare i alla EU/ESS länder blivit mötta av en förfrågan om godkännande av cookies vid varje besök av en ny hemsida. Frågan ska enligt lag tydligt informera användare om att cookies används, i vilket syfte och hur länge de sparas. Beväpnad med denna information ska användaren sedan ha möjlighet att ta ett välinformerat beslut om hen godkänner webbplatsens användning av cookies och därmed insamlingen av hens personuppgifter. Denna lagstiftning gäller för samtliga webbplatser oavsett offentlig eller privat avsändare och avser att skapa ett skydd för varje individs digitala integritet. Cookies har använts i funktionssyfte sedan internets begynnelse men har under de senare åren använts med stor framgång primärt i marknadsföringssyfte i form av riktad marknadsföring av kommersiella webbplatser. Det finns stor vinning för många företag att användare godkänner dessa cookie-förfrågningar vilket gör att stor vikt läggs vid hur dessa förfrågningar designas. Dark Patterns är ett begrepp på former av konverteringsinriktad design som används för att få användare att utföra handlingar som ej gynnar dem i längden, men som skapar mervärde för aktören bakom. Dessa designval används flitigt över hela internet och har även identifierats i cookie-förfrågningar. Följande studie undersöker hur dessa cookie-förfrågningar är utformade, vilka dark patterns som finns att identifiera i deras gränssnitt samt användares inställning till 15 statliga respektive 15 kommersiella webbplatser. Data för studien har samlats in genom en kvantitativ enkätundersökning med 102 respondenter samt en kvalitativ innehållsanalys av samtliga webbplatser. Empiri från tidigare forskning har använts för att jämföra och styrka studiens slutsats. Användningen av dark patterns har identifierats på både statliga och kommersiella webbplatser men i en högre grad i den sistnämnda. Dessa designval har visats påverka användarens interaktion med förfrågan på ett sätt som är positivt för aktören. Studien har däremot även visat att en lika stor faktor för användarens medvetna beslut är det anseende aktören för webbplatsen har. Avslutningsvis visar studien att dagens internetanvändare generellt är trötta på konstanta förfrågningar med samma eller liknande information, och vad som var avsett att skapa en trygghetskänsla hos användaren har i stället bara blivit ett evigt störningsmoment. / Since the implementation of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) on May 25th, 2018, users in EU/EEC countries have encountered cookie approval requests upon accessing new websites. By legal demand, these cookie prompts must provide information on the use of cookies, their purpose, and the duration of data retention. With this knowledge, users are expected to make informed decisions regarding their consent to the website's cookies and data collection utilization. This legislation applies universally to all websites, regardless of their public or private nature, to protect individuals’ digital privacy. While cookies have served functional purposes since the early days of the Internet, their recent substantial adoption for targeted marketing by commercial websites has provided significant advantages for many companies. Consequently, precise attention is placed on the design of these cookie requests themselves. Dark Patterns represent a form of conversion-oriented design tactics employed to impact users to perform certain actions that may not be beneficial in the long term but generate value for the entity implementing them. These design choices are prevalent across the internet and have also been identified within the context of cookie prompts. This study observes the design elements of such cookie prompts, identifies the presence of dark patterns within their interfaces, and examines user attitudes toward these prompts. The research analyzes 15 government websites and 15 commercial websites through a qualitative content analysis that uncovers hidden information. As a complement, an additional quantitative survey was formed by collecting data from 102 respondents. The study leverages empirical evidence from previous research to strengthen its findings and comparisons. Findings show that the use of dark patterns on both government and commercial websites is evident, with a more noticeable occurrence on commercial ones. These design choices have been observed to influence user interactions with the requests to favor the sender implementing the dark patterns. However, the research also demonstrates that the senders' reputation equally influences users' conscious decision-making process. In conclusion, the study indicates that contemporary internet users generally experience weariness due to persistent requests featuring repetitive or similar information. What was initially intended to instill a sense of user security has instead become an enduring source of disruption.

Framtagande av en prototyp som stöder ett mer hållbart konsumtionsbeteende gällande e-returer

Johannesdottir, Lara, Berg, Tilde January 2023 (has links)
På grund av den ökade klädkonsumtionen inom e-handeln har antalet digitala returer ökat markant, vilket har bidragit till ohanterbara mängder returer för återförsäljare inom e-handeln. En stor mängd av dessa returer slängs eller bränns upp och orsakar på så sätt negativ påverkan på miljön. För att minska antalet returer har tidigare studier genomförts där olika former av storleks- och passformsteknologi har tagits fram med syfte att underlätta för klädkonsumenter att hitta rätt storlek. Denna form av teknologi har däremot inte bidragit till minskningen av antalet returer. Förutom problem med storlek och passform, är klädkonsumenters beteende en bidragande orsak till den stora mängden returer. Forskningsfrågan för denna studie är därför: Hur kan klädkonsumenters tidigare erfarenhet av e-returer bidra till designprocessen vid framtagande av en prototyp som stöder ett mer hållbart konsumtionsbeteende? De datainsamlingsmetoder som används i studien är enkät, intervjuer och framtidsverkstäder med utgångspunkt i forskningsstrategin grundad teori. Analys utifrån grundad teori tillämpas sedan för att identifiera mönster i deltagarnas utsagor. Utifrån analysen av den insamlade datan och resultatet från framtidsverstäderna framtas tre prototyper som utgår ifrån persuasive design, som innebär att genom design försöka övertyga personer att agera på ett mer hållbart vis. Genom testning av dessa identifieras den slutgiltiga prototypen som kan uppmuntra klädkonsumenter till ett mer hållbart konsumtionsbeteende. Baserat på datainsamlingen och den framtagna prototypen utformas en teori som tyder på att det behöver framföras korrekt information kring företags returhantering för att möjliggöra en förändring i klädkonsumenters returbeteende. / Due to the increased consumption of clothing in e-commerce, the number of digital returns has increased significantly, which has contributed to unmanageable amounts of returns for e-commerce retailers. A large amount of these returns are thrown away or burned, thus causing a negative impact on the environment. To reduce the number of returns, previous studies have been carried out where various forms of size and fit technology have been developed with the aim of making it easier for clothing consumers to find the right size. However, this form of technology has not contributed to reduction of returns. In addition to size and fit issues, clothing consumer behavior is a contributing factor to the high volume of returns. The study’s research question therefore is: How can clothing consumers' previous experience with e-returns contribute to the design process when producing a prototype that supports more sustainable consumption behavior? The data collection methods used in the study are questionnaires, interviews and future workshops based on the research strategy grounded theory. Analysis based on grounded theory is then applied to identify patterns in the participants' statements. Based on the analysis of the collected data and the results from the future workshops, three prototypes are created that are based on persuasive design, which means trying to convince people to act in a more sustainable way through design. By testing the prototypes, the final prototype is identified which can encourage clothing consumers to a more sustainable consumption behavior. Based on the data collection and the prototype, a theory is developed that suggests that correct information needs to be presented regarding companies' return management in order to enable a change in the return behavior of clothing consumers.

Köp nu, betala senare : En explorativ studie om beteendedesign och hur användare väljer betalmetod i e-handeln / Buy Now, Pay Later : An Explorative Study of Behavioral Design and How Users Choose Payment Method in E-commerce

Wagenius, Carolina, Zetterström, Magdalena January 2021 (has links)
Skuldsättningen kopplad till konsumtion ökar i det svenska samhället, vilket gått hand i hand med e-handelns framväxt och faktura som populär betalmetod. Betallösningar som tillhandahåller faktura och delbetalning som betalmetoder åt e-handlare har i och med det fått kritik av media och ny lagstiftning mot viss typ av beteendedesign i betallösningarnas tjänster har även införts. Trots samhällsdebatten har det saknats forskning på hur kunder väljer betalmetod och deras upplevelser av påverkan från beteendedesign inom betallösningarna. Denna studie har därför haft som syfte att ge inledande insikter och kunskap om detta. Kvalitativa metoder har använts tillsammans med teori om beteendedesign och hur människor fattar beslut. Specifikt har teorin bestått av Theory of Planned Behaviour och tre typer av beteendedesign - persuasive design, digital nudging och dark patterns. En utvärdering av betallösningarna Klarna och Qliro genomfördes med syfte att identifiera beteendedesign i deras tjänster. Därefter genomfördes intervjuer med användare för att förstå deras beslutsprocess vid val av betalmetod och hur beteendedesign kan tänkas påverka dem i denna kontext. Resultaten visade att informanterna hade ett invant beteende vid val av betalmetod när de genomför köp online. Oavsett om den föredragna betalmetoden var kortbetalning eller faktura verkar valet främst baseras på upplevd kontroll. Hur enkel och trygg betalmetoden känns är de främsta faktorerna som påverkar valet. Beteendedesign tycktes inte ha en direkt påverkan på valet av betalmetod för användarna i denna studie, troligen på grund av att de vanor och attityder som användarna redan har är så pass välgrundade. Om beteendedesign haft en inverkan på hur dessa vanor och attityder har formats från början kan däremot inte resultaten från studien ge svar på. / The amount of debt connected to consumption is increasing in the Swedish society. This increase has coincided with the emergence of e-commerce and invoice as a popular payment method. Payment solutions that provides invoice and installment as payment methods for e-commerce sites has because of this received criticism by media and a new legislation against a certain type of behavioral design in payment solutions has been introduced. Despite the public debate there is a lack of research about how users choose payment method and their experiences about the impact that behavioral design has within this context. The aim of this study was to provide initial insights and knowledge about this topic. Qualitative methods were used together with theory about behavioral design and human decision making. Specifically, Theory of Planned Behavior and three types of behavioral design – persuasive design, digital nudging and dark patterns. An evaluation of the two payment solutions Klarna and Qliro, was carried out to identify behavioral design in their services. This was followed by interviews with users to get an understanding about their decision process when choosing payment method and how behavioral design impact this process. The results showed that the users in this study had a habitual behavioral when it comes to choosing payment method when shopping online. Regardless if the preferred method is invoice or card payment it seems as if the choice is mainly based on perceived control. How easy and safe the payment method feels are the main factors that impacts the choice. Behavioral design does not seem to have a direct impact on the choice of payment method for the users in this study, probably because the habits and attitudes that they already have are well-grounded. However, if behavioral design had an impact in forming the habits and attitudes from the start is something the result from this study cannot answer.

Reallocation Of Household Resources For Energy Saving Behavior

Celebi, Ayse N. 01 December 2011 (has links) (PDF)
This study focuses on persuasive design concerning the household users&rsquo / energy saving behavior while using electrical household appliances for the housework. Household users form a balance at home determined by the household resources they have, and they do not want to change this fragile balance because it is established as a result of household users&rsquo / habitual behavior. It is crucial to persuade household users to save energy at home without disturbing the balance among resources. Persuasion becomes an effective tool at this stage. The study provides an efficient reallocation of the resources for energy saving behavior, which is supported by household resource reallocation and persuasion literature, and an empirical study.
