Abstract

An overarching goal of human-computer interaction is to build technologies that empower users to do what they want to do i.e. to realise their intentions. To achieve high-level goals and values, people have to do certain things and not do other things. Written for the CHI 2023 Doctoral Consortium, this article briefly describes the initial results from two studies which explore how reminders can help people to exhibit and inhibit behaviours, respectively. The first study demonstrates that metacognitive reflection guides reminder setting for everyday intentions. The second study explores how reminders to reflect can empower individuals to use social media more intentionally. These findings are used to inform future directions for research and design.
