ABSTRACTWe introduce and explore the concept of non-volitional behavior change, a novel category of behavior change interventions, and apply it in the context of promoting healthy behaviors through an automated sit-stand desk. While routine use of sit-stand desks can increase health outcomes, compliance decreases quickly and behavioral nudges tend to be dismissed. To address this issue, we introduce robotic furniture that moves on its own to promote healthy movement. In an in-person preliminary study, we explored users' impressions of an autonomous sit-stand desk prototype that changes position at regular pre-set time intervals while participants complete multiple tasks. While in-the-moment self-reported ratings were similar between the autonomous and manual desks, we observed several bi-modal distributions in user's retrospective comparisons and their qualitative responses. Findings suggest about half were receptive to using an autonomous sit-stand desk, while the remaining preferred to retain some level of control. |
