Abstract

Motivation is a determinant aspect of behavior, which may influence the interactive systems usage. As so, it must be considered especially when designing a technology that intends to influence user's behavior and attitudes. This paper aims at shedding light on concepts related to motivation taking the basis of Psychology theories, and making sense of them for the design of Residential Energy Feedback Systems (REFS) in a Brazilian scenario. Both intrinsic and extrinsic motivations, which are culturally influenced, are taken into account, as a first step to suggest design requirements for REFS informed by motivational aspects.
