"Persuasive Technologies" und "Gamification" erforscht den Einsatzinteraktiver Produkte mit dem Ziel, das Verhalten und die Einstellungen von Menschen gezielt zu verändern.

The present paper introduces CORPUS (Change Oriented analysis of the Relationshipbetween Product and USer), an interview technique to reconstruct changes in user experience over a period of morethan one year.
