Abstract

This research focuses on how quantified-self can change users' everyday urban mobility behaviour. As part of an exploratory approach, we are analysing fifty-five individual interviews of a group of young daily smartphone users. Using framing theory, our results highlight the importance of the form in which self-quantified information is presented in the context of an application with an environmental dimension. The information CO2 of individual mobility has more impact if the benefits are presented simply and in small quantities (vs. complex), in the form of gains (vs. losses), whose scope is individual (rather than collective), favouring descriptive norms (over injunctive norms), with in a short-term (vs. long-term) perspective. In the context of the ecological transition, we suggest some avenues for managerial reflection, in particular on how practitioners can design a mobile application with an environmental focus.
