The present study draws on theories of attribution, social comparison, and social facilitation to investigate how computers might use principles of motivation and persuasion to provide user feedback. In an online experiment, 192 participants performed a speed-reading task. The independent variables included whether or not the verbal feedback from the computer involved praise, whether the objective feedback showed that the participants were performing better or worse from their peers, and whether or not the feedback was presented by an on-screen agent. The main dependent variables included a subjective measure of participants’ intrinsic motivation and an objective measure of their task persistence. Results showed that providing participants with praise or comparative information on others’ performance improved intrinsic motivation. When praised, participants whose performances were comparatively low persisted in the task longer than those whose performances were comparatively high did. Additionally, the mere presence of an embodied agent on the screen increased participants’ motivation. Together, these results indicate that praise and social comparison can serve as effective forms of motivational feedback and that humanlike embodiment further improves user motivation.

It’s impossible to read a newspaper or online magazine these days without finding an article blasting social media for its ill will toward mankind. Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg seems to be testifying in U.S. Congress constantly. Everyone from academics to presidential candidates are calling for Zuckerberg to be burned at the stake. Facebook co-founder and Zuckerberg’s former roommate at Harvard, Chris Hughes, suggested the government force the break-up of Facebook in an essay he published in The New York Times in May. Even the most ardent supporters of capitalism are questioning how a company controlled by one man-boy of 35 has become so powerful. Zuckerberg has a net worth of $68 billion. In 1890 in the U.S., the Sherman Anti-trust Act outlawed monopolistic business practices. Facebook now has 2.37 billion active users, not to mention owning WhatsApp and Instagram.
