Abstract

In mobile technologies for health and well-being (mHealth), push notifications are a widely used tool to implement persuasive strategies.
However, little research has been carried out to investigate the impact of notifications in such technologies and users’ attitudes towards
them. In this study, we address this gap by exploring the role of notifications and their customisation in the context of mobile applications
that promote social and mental well-being. Based on observational data collected from 152 participants, we investigate users’ attitudes and preferences towards notifications. Moreover, we explore how users’ attitudes towards notifications differ along demographic dimensions. Our findings show that customisation of notifications is a desired feature that can be used to improve the persuasive aspect of mHealth applications.
Implications derived from our study can provide guidance for researchers and practitioners alike when designing app notifications to create better
motivating, meaningful, and persuasive experiences.
