Introduction:
Good Habit Jar is an innovative mobile application designed to help users establish healthier digital habits by providing thoughtful interventions for doomscrolling behavior. When users attempt to open social media apps, Good Habit Jar gently interrupts with personalized reminders of previously logged alternative activities, encouraging them to consider more fulfilling options. The app allows users to record and track their positive habits, visualizing their progress as these accomplishments fill their virtual “Good Habit Jar.” Through our usability testing, we aim to assess the effectiveness and user experience of our intervention system, examining whether the app creates a meaningful impression, strikes the right balance of challenge and reward, provides an enjoyable experience, and communicates its purpose clearly. We’re particularly interested in understanding how users respond to the nudging mechanism when attempting to access social media and whether they find the habit-tracking features intuitive and motivating.
