Background The effectiveness of digital health communication may be increased by enhancing autonomy supportiveness. Objective This study aimed to identify the most autonomy-supportive message frame within an intervention for increasing vegetable intake by testing the effect of the following 2 strategies: (1) using autonomy-supportive language and (2) providing choice. Methods A Web-based 2 (autonomy-supportive vs controlling language)×2 (choice vs no choice) experiment was conducted among 526 participants, recruited via a research panel. The main outcome measures were perceived autonomy support (measured using the Virtual Care Climate Questionnaire, answered with scores 1 to 5), perceived relevance (measured with one question, answered with scores 1 to 5), and overall evaluation of the intervention (measured with 1 open-ended question, answered with scores 1 to 10). Results Choice had a significant positive effect on the overall evaluation of the intervention (b=.12; P=.003), whereas for participants with a high need for autonomy, there was a significant positive effect on perceived relevance (b=.13; P=.02). The positive effect of choice on perceived autonomy support approached significance (b=.07; P=.07). No significant effects on any of the three outcomes were observed for language. Conclusions Results suggest that provision of choice rather than the use of autonomy-supportive language can be an easy-to-implement strategy to increase the effectiveness of digital forms of health communication, especially for people with a high need for autonomy.

BACKGROUND Effectiveness of digital health communication may be increased by enhancing autonomy-supportiveness. OBJECTIVE Aim of this study was to identify the most autonomy-supportive message frame within an intervention aimed at vegetable intake, by testing the effect of two strategies, i.e. 1) using autonomy-supportive language and 2) providing choice. METHODS An online 2 (autonomy-supportive vs. controlling language) x 2 (choice vs. no choice) experiment was conducted among 526 participants, recruited via a research panel. Main outcome measures were perceived autonomy-support (VCCQ; 1-5), perceived relevance (1 item; 1-5) and overall evaluation of the intervention (1 item; 1-10). RESULTS Choice had a positive effect on the overall evaluation of the intervention (b = .12, p = .003) and for participants with a high need for autonomy also on perceived relevance (b = .13, p = .017). A trend was observed of choice having positive effects on perceived autonomy-support (b = .07, p = .065). No significant effects on any of the three outcomes were observed for language. CONCLUSIONS Results suggest that provision of choice rather than use of autonomy-supportive language can be an easy-to-implement strategy to increase the effectiveness of online computer-tailored health communication, especially for people with a high need for autonomy.

In this study, a gamification process was implemented in an undergraduate course of Economics that consisted 397 students. The primary purpose of the research was to empirically validate the effects of gamification in terms of the variables of engagement, motivation, entertainment, perceived relevance of the course, knowledge increase and participation. To ascertain these, a questionnaire was administered to the participants. The results indicated that gamification provided significant positive effect on all variables listed above except motivation. Additional objectives of the article were to link the effects to Marczewski’s player types, namely, Philanthropists, Socialisers, Free spirits, Achievers, Players, and Disruptors, and to measure whether there are differences between the types in terms of the variables indicated above. Gamification resulted in positive effects on all player types except the player type of Disruptors.

Individuals can feel more motivated to change health behaviour when perceiving autonomy-support, as induced through non-pressuring message phrasing and the provision of choice: autonomy-supportive message framing. Additionally, controlling message phrasing – commands that do not provide choice – can thwart autonomy and lead to reactance, which is detrimental to the persuasiveness of health messages. Many health messages have not been formulated in an autonomy-supportive manner and therefore could arouse reactance, resulting in reduced intervention effectiveness. We aimed to test the effects of autonomy-supportive vs. controlling alcohol reduction message frames on individuals’ perceived autonomy-support from these messages; and their reactance towards the message while considering the individual need for autonomy in the context of an online computer-tailored alcohol reduction intervention. A 2 (autonomy-supportive language vs. controlling language) × 2 (choice vs. no choice) between-subjects experiment ( N = 521) was conducted using an online computer-tailored alcohol reduction intervention. Outcome measures were perceived autonomy-support and reactance and we investigated whether an individual’s need for autonomy moderated the effect of autonomy-supportive and controlling message frames on those outcome variables. Multiple linear regression analyses showed that neither autonomy-supportive nor controlling message frames had significant effects on perceived autonomy-support or reactance, and there was no moderation from the need for autonomy. Overall, participants evaluated the intervention as positive and perceived high levels of autonomy-support, regardless of the message frame used. Future research needs to test whether the positive intervention evaluation is due to content tailoring, and whether more distinguishable manipulations of message frames could be effective.

BACKGROUND Message frame-tailoring based on the need for autonomy is a promising strategy to improve the effectiveness of digital health communication interventions. An example of a digital health communication intervention is PAS, an online content-tailored smoking cessation program. PAS was effective in improving cessation success, but its effect sizes were small and disappeared after six months. OBJECTIVE We aim to improve the effectiveness of PAS further by incorporating message frame-tailoring, providing smokers with autonomy-supportive or controlling message frames – depending on their individual need for autonomy. METHODS Various methods were used to redesign the PAS program to include message frame-tailoring with optimal usability: usability testing, think-aloud methodology, heuristic evaluations, and an online experiment. RESULTS The most autonomy-supportive and controlling message frames were identified, the cut-off point for the need for autonomy to distinguish between people with a high and low need for autonomy was determined, and the usability was optimized. CONCLUSIONS This resulted in a redesigned digital health communication intervention that included message frame-tailoring and had optimal usability. A detailed description of the redesigning process of the PAS program is provided.
