“…As savvy users of interactive and socially connected technologies, adolescents are formed by today's media and ludification of culture [8]. Their potential to shape themselves and society's future [32] makes them an interesting target for gamification. Interestingly, even though gamification researchers deem adolescents a particularly interesting audience, they have not yet investigated the validity of player typologies, personality trait models, and associated scales for them; empirical investigations and validations thus far have been limited to adults.…”

Gamification researchers deem adolescents a particularly interesting audience for tailored gamification. However, empirical validation of popular player typologies and personality trait models thus far has been limited to adults. As adolescents exhibit complex behaviours that differ from older adults, these models may need adaptation. To that end, we collected a unique data set of Big Five Inventory and Hexad questionnaire answers in Dutch from 402 adolescents. Confirmatory factor analysis showed that the Dutch forms of the BFI-10, BFI-44 and Hexad scales performed substandard when used with adolescents. Through exploratory factor analysis, we investigated underlying problems, and provide preliminary suggestions on how to improve measurements. In particular, we propose to simplify the Hexad model, and to reformulate specific items. With this study, we hope to contribute to the debate on how to improve the tailoring of interactive systems for adolescents.

“…Moreover, use of a combination of multiple theories (such as Integrated Behavioral Model or any customized combination) might be considered. Complementing this approach, the practical study of the actual target group (eg, user-centered methods such as participatory design [ 118 , 119 ] with adolescents) might also help identify the most relevant determinants (eg, [ 120 ]) on which an intervention can focus [ 121 ].…”

Background eHealth systems provide new opportunities for the delivery of antiretroviral therapy (ART) adherence interventions for adolescents. They may be more effective if grounded in health behavior theories and behavior change techniques (BCTs). Prior reviews have examined the effectiveness, feasibility, and acceptability of these eHealth systems. However, studies have not systematically explored the use of health behavior theories and BCTs in the design of these applications. Objective The purpose of this review was to explore whether health behavior theories and BCTs were considered to ground designs of eHealth systems supporting adolescents’ (10-24 years) ART adherence. More specifically, we examined which specific theories and BCTs were applied, and how these BCTs were implemented as design features. Additionally, we investigated the quality and effect of eHealth systems. Methods A systematic search was performed on IEEE Xplore, ACM, ScienceDirect, PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science databases from 2000 to 2020. Theory use and BCTs were coded using the Theory Coding Scheme and the Behavior Change Technique Taxonomy version 1 (BCTTv1), respectively. Design features were identified using the lenses of motivational design for mobile health (mHealth). The number of BCTs and design features for each eHealth system and their prevalence across all systems were assessed. Results This review identified 16 eHealth systems aiming to support ART adherence among adolescents. System types include SMS text message reminders (n=6), phone call reminders (n=3), combined SMS text message and phone call reminders (n=1), electronic adherence monitoring devices (n=3), smartphone apps (n=1), smartphone serious games (n=1), gamified smartphone apps (n=1), leveraging existing social media (n=2), web-based applications (n=1), videoconferencing (n=1), and desktop applications (n=1). Nine were grounded in theory, of which 3 used theories extensively. The impact of adolescent developmental changes on ART adherence was not made explicit. A total of 42 different BCTs and 24 motivational design features were used across systems. Ten systems reported positive effects on 1 or more outcomes; however, of these ten systems, only 3 reported exclusively positive effects on all the outcomes they measured. As much as 6 out of 16 reported purely no effect in all the outcomes measured. Conclusions Basic applications (SMS text messaging and phone calls) were most frequent, although more advanced systems such as mobile apps and games are also emerging. This review indicated gaps in the use of theory and BCTs, and particularly the impact of developmental changes on ART adherence was not adequately considered. Together with adopting a developmental orientation, future eHealth systems should effectively leverage health theories and consider developing more advanced systems that open the door to using BCTs more comprehensively. Overall, the impact of eHealth systems on adolescent ART adherence and its mediators is promising, but conclusive evidence on effect still needs to be provided.
