Millions of individuals have goals but struggle to achieve them. Research shows that writing down goals, sharing them with friends, and receiving feedback can increase the likelihood that these goals are achieved. However, there is limited research on technologies that support groups of friends working together toward goals. We are designing Pact, a social application in which groups of friends can collaborate toward goal achievement. We have made novel design decisions involving persuasion and motivation due to our focus on previously established strong social ties. Pact allows individuals to set personally achievable goals, yet encourages both collaboration and competition by allowing friends to compare measurable progress and hold each other accountable. |
