Can they motivate you to stop smoking, persuade you to buy insurance, or convince you to join the Army? \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Yes, they can,\" says Dr. B.J. Fogg, director of the Persuasive Technology Lab at Stanford University. Fogg has coined the phrase \"Captology\"(an acronym for computers as persuasive technologies) to capture the domain of research, design, and applications of persuasive computers.In this thought-provoking book, based on nine years of research in captology, Dr. Fogg reveals how Web sites, software applications, and mobile devices can be used to change people's attitudes and behavior. Technology designers, marketers, researchers, consumers—anyone who wants to leverage or simply understand the persuasive power of interactive technology—will appreciate the compelling insights and illuminating examples found inside. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePersuasive technology can be controversial—and it should be. Who will wield this power of digital influence? And to what end? Now is the time to survey the issues and explore the principles of persuasive technology, and B.J. Fogg has written this book to be your guide.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eForeword by Philip Zimbardo, Ph.DPrefaceIntroduction: Persuasion in the Digital AgeChapter 1: Overview of Captology Chapter 2: The Functional Triad: Computers in Persuasive RolesChapter 3: Computers as Persuasive ToolsChapter 4: Computers as Persuasive Media: SimulationChapter 5: Computers as Persuasive Social ActorsCbapter 6: Credibility and ComputersChapter 7: Credibility and the World Wide WebChapter 8: Increasing Persuasion Through Mobility and ConnectivityChapter 9: The Ethics of Persuasive TechnologyChapter 10: Captology: Looking ForwardAppendix: Summary of PrinciplesFigure CreditsIndexAbout the Author\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Human-computer interaction [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Human-computer interaction\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Human-computer%20interaction%20%5BUYZ%5D%22\"\u003eUYZ\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Morgan Kaufmann","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46648122081560,"sku":"9781558606432","price":36.56,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/products\/9781558606432_f5898146-16de-4a64-8a88-41c72cc0f008.jpg?v=1696713811","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/persuasive-technology-using-computers-to-change-what-we-think-and-do-paperback-9781558606432","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
