Extending Persuasive System Design Frameworks: An Exploratory Study

Many designers, developers, and stakeholders in information systems design attempt to create persuasive technologies, although many times without a formal support from persuasive design approaches. In addition, research on design methodology is one of the most challenging issues in the field of persuasive technology. This paper intends to discuss and expand the persuasive design frameworks regarding four key aspects: considering the socially-awareness in the process of designing persuasive systems; inclusion of persuasive principles not only for web and mobile applications but also for pervasive applications; the extension of ethical aspects in the design of persuasive information systems; and the inclusion stakeholder behavior to influence achieve a target behavior. We conclude this paper with prospections for frameworks to persuasive systems design and future lines of works.
