Beyond Intrinsic Motivation: The Role of Autonomous Motivation in User Experience w @elisamekler

Challenging results for UX orthodoxy:
Intrinsic motivation associated w bad habits, poor need satisfaction
Extrinsic sometimes stronger driver of good UX

I'll do a thread soon, but there's a lot in this paper. I'm pretty proud of it and it took a lot to get it right. Really pleased to see it out in the world!

I think the physicist who speaks of God as a mathematician is almost indistinguishable from the Bronze Age artisan who was most able to visualise God as a worker in clay.

Watch this it’s fascinating - I asked James Timpson what he’d do about prisons and sentencing if he was in charge. He believes only a third of prisoners in jail should definitely be there. He’s now in charge of prisons (but not sentencing).

If you're attending #DIS2024 @Feng58486062 will be presenting this paper on Thursday.
How can descriptions of thermal and affective experience in classical Chinee poetry inform technology design?

Trial run at @BristolIG got a great response, so we're looking forward to DIS!

One of the coolest papers I've been involved in!
What can thermal and affective technologies learn from Chinese classical poetry?
Quite a bit!

No one will remember my v niche tweet about reading translation studies papers for fun --- but @Feng58486062 had this really cool idea: Why not develop design theory via translating Chinese Cí poetry? Check our #DIS2024 pre-print below 👇

70,000 people trapped in a desert by extreme rain, running out of food, with rumors of disease spreading, and porta-johns overflowing - but determined to keep the party going, is such a great metaphor for our civilization right now.

@participha @upvehu Sorry to hear it's been tough - we haven't met but I've found a lot of your writing very inspiring. I hope you find a better balance now.
