Evaluating Hedonic and Eudaimonic Motives in Human-Computer Interaction

摘要

New measures of well-being are drawing the attention of researchers and practitioner in human factors generally and human-computer interaction (HCI) in particular. Following in the footsteps of previous scholarly endeavours in hedonic well-being (HWB), this paper argues for the adoption of eudaimonic well-being (EWB) in explorations of well-being in HCI. To this end, I report on initial findings from research in which I have evaluated the impact of hedonic and eudaimonic motives on gaming experience using a validated instrument developed by psychologists and adapted for use in HCI contexts.
