讲座摘要：
Abstract: Cultivating persistent health behavior is a perennial issue that is of great interest to academics and practitioners. Despite the significant potential of emerging ICTs such as wearable devices and fitness mobile apps in promoting health behaviors, it remains unclear whether they are sufficient for sustained behaviors. As one of the solutions, IT developers have embedded the use of wearable devices and fitness apps within a competition context. Differing from the self-contained offline competition, this Technology-Enabled Competition Platform offers visualization tools for users to monitor their focal activity (e.g., running) in real time and social networking features that connect people from diverse background to compete with and support one another in the focal activity. However, the impact of such competition platform on persistent behavior has yet to be examined. The objective of this work is to understand the role of such competition platform in cultivating persistent health behavior. Drawing on social comparison theory and social network perspective, this study seeks to develop a theory-driven model to understand how different comparison processes (i.e., social comparison and self-comparison), social relationship with comparison referents, and technology-enabled self-tracking systems affect persistent health behavior. We empirically test the model using longitudinal panel data collected from a popular technology-enabled competition platform. This study contributes to the extant literature by conceptualizing the role of technology-enabled competition platforms in promoting persistent behavior, and unveiling the role of self-tracking systems in promoting persistent health behavior. Practically, this study is expected to provide valuable insights to IT designers and consumer health IT developers on engaging users and sustaining long-term behavior.
