Self-Determination Theory in HCI: Shaping a Research Agenda

CHI 2022 Workshop

Self-determination theory (SDT)—a multifaceted theory stating that people are motivated by innate and universal psychological needs for autonomy, competence, and relatedness—has become one of the most frequently used and well-validated theories used in HCI research, but its use often remains superficial and disjointed. This workshop therefore convenes researchers across application domains (games, health and wellbeing, learning, etc.) to co-create a research agenda on how SDT-informed HCI research can maximise its progress in the coming years.

Interested participants should submit a short position piece (up to 1500 words, excluding references, in the ACM single column format) outlining one challenge or opportunity they’ve identified around SDT in HCI. We invite submissions on questions including but not limited to:
  • Forming theories: Articulating ‘mid-range’ and domain-specific theories and models of SDT for HCI issues.
  • Testing predictions: Identifying key untested predictions of SDT in HCI areas.
  • Advancing methods: Issues and advances for robust HCI study designs and measurements on SDT constructs.
  • Widening application areas: Identifying new HCI areas of application for SDT.
  • Exploring mini-theories: Unpacking possible HCI applications of under-used SDT mini-theories.
  • Computational interaction: Computational methods for measuring, modelling, predicting SDT constructs and adapting interfaces.
  • Translational research: Methods, patterns, and other translational resources making SDT applicable in interaction design.
Accepted papers will be published on the workshop site prior to the event and are invited to be submitted in extended form to a special issue with Interacting with Computers, which will also publish the resultant joint research agenda.
