Study design: Observational Study
Abstract: Activity tracking devices provide biofeedback information and encourage people to be active, however, their long-term usage has been problematic.This study explored the theory of reinforcement techniques and the theory of self-determination to enhance long-term usage of activity tracking devices.A sample of 43 people was surveyed to examine their experience with activity tracking devices.A multi-regression analysis demonstrated significant results(R square=71.6%Sig level=0.012N=43).The result indicates how individuals with different orientations likely to perceive the supportiveness of their devices and how likely they were to continue using or stop using their devices.Conclusion: understanding the principles of reinforcement techniques and the perceive supportiveness concept of self-determination theory provide insight into the strategies that instigate and maintain long-term usage of the activity tracking devices Key terms: Activity tracking device, Stimulus Response and Self Determination theory Habit formation and Lifelong engagement
