The Need for Research....or not? cessation-apps-dont-follow-guidelines / It’s important to note that the researchers never tested these weight loss smartphone apps. They never downloaded them. (We have seen this head-scratching method of study before.)

Keller’s ARCS Theory of Motivation Keller strove to understand and model the influence of effort and contributors to effort ARCS lists four major conditions: 1.Attention 2.Relevance 3.Confidence 4.Satisfaction
Attention Strategies Getting and Keeping It! Incongruity and conflict Concreteness Variability Humour Inquiry Participation
Relevance Strategies Attaching Value to the Task and Deepening Internalization Experience Present Worth Future Usefulness Need Matching Modeling Choice
Confidence Strategies Focus on aspects of learner performance Learning requirements Difficulty Expectations (metacognition) Attributions (locus of control) Self-confidence
Satisfaction Strategies Management of the consequences of learning Natural consequences Unexpected rewards Positive outcomes Avoidance of negative influences Scheduling 23
