Motivation 

The main hypothesis in this project is to test and validate, how the mechanism of action of behavior change techniques change behavior through motivation. In this project, we specifically look for the widely used behavior change techniques i.e. goal-setting, incentives and feedback on behavior, that change behavior through motivation. Our motivation model, which is already published, suggest that if someone is given an incentive for some behavior that we want him/her to do, increases motivation because of an increase in the reward anticipation value. Similarly, if someone gets motivated to do some behavior then you have to maintain that motivation level. For this purpose, we used the REWARD PREDICTION ERROR value, which tells us the difference between the received and expected reward. With this value, we can adjust our behavior change techniques. The project will test hypotheses by analyzing the data that will be collected through the mobile app.
