My name is John Paul Vargheese (JP)<\/a>. I recently joined Edinburgh Napier as a lecturer in the School of Computing and have become a member of the social informatics research group. I am looking forward to working with colleagues and students at Edinburgh Napier and continuing my research on persuasive technologies and behaviour change interventions. Further information on my research is available on Google Scholar.<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Previously, I was a teaching and scholarship lecturer in the department of computing science at the University of Aberdeen.

My research is primarily based on human-computer interaction, with a focus on persuasive technology and behaviour change interventions. My work involves engaging with user groups to develop rich, theoretically informed user interaction models that may be evaluated through quantitative and qualitative evaluation studies. Previous topics I have worked on include assistive living technology for older adults and behaviour change for cybersecurity.

My most recent work focuses on extending Kaptein\u2019s Susceptibility to Persuasion scale (STPS) (Kaptein et al., 2012). Persuasive technologies and behaviour change interventions typically incorporate and apply persuasive strategies, which are often based on Cialdini\u2019s principles of persuasion (Cialdini, 2016). For more information on Cialdini’s principles of persuasion, watch this: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
