Constructing Everyday Well-Being: Insights from God-Saeng (God生) for Personal Informatics

While Personal Informatics (PI) systems support behavior change, everyday well-being involves more than achieving individual target behaviors. It is shaped by cultural narratives that give actions meaning. In South Korea, the God-Saeng (God生) phenomenon—encompassing disciplined, collective, and publicly documented sel…

When Workout Buddies Are Virtual: AI Agents and Human Peers in a Longitudinal Physical Activity Study

Physical inactivity remains a critical global health issue, yet scalable strategies for sustained motivation are scarce. Conversational agents designed as simulated exercising peers (SEPs) represent a promising alternative, but their long-term impact is unclear. We report a six-month randomized controlled trial (N=280…

Collaborating with a Text-Based Chatbot: An Exploration of Real-World Collaboration Strategies Enacted during Human-Chatbot Interactions

A central problem for chatbots in the customer care domain revolves around how people collaborate with the agent to achieve their own situated goals. The majority of the previous research, however, relied on experiments within artificial settings, rather than on observation of real-world interactions. Moreover, such r…

A Gameful Organizational Assimilation Process: Insights from World of Warcraft for Gamification Design

A central process of virtual organization design relates to how newcomers are assimilated into organizational dynamics. Research on organizational assimilation has traditionally investigated “serious” organizational contexts. Nonetheless, video games can offer insights on how such assimilation can be effectively suppo…

Reflexive Ethnographies in Human-Computer Interaction: Theory and Practice

This course aims at introducing some key issues in contemporary ethnographic practice, emphasizing the role of the writing style and the epistemic position of the fieldworker in shaping a particular perspective on the observed phenomena. It outlines the theoretical assumptions that lie behind the traditional “realist…

Know Thyself: A Theory of the Self for Personal Informatics

Although Personal Informatics stresses the importance of “self”-awareness and “self”-knowledge in collecting personal data, a description of the “self,” to which all these knowledge endeavors are addressed, is missing in the current debate. In this article we first review how the different theoretical assumptions that…

Gamification for Self-Tracking: From World of Warcraft to the Design of Personal Informatics Systems

World of Warcraft (WoW) may be a source of inspiration to enrich the Personal Informatics systems user’s experience and, at the same time, improve gamification design. Through the findings of a four-year reflexive ethnography in WoW, I outline how its game design elements support players in making sense of their own d…
