Abstract

The 2nd International Workshop on Human Behavior Understanding (HBU'11) focuses on inducing behavioral change via computer systems that can analyse human behavior and communicate persuasive messages accordingly. While analysis techniques that involve pattern recognition, signal processing and machine learning are very relevant to this aim, the underlying psychological and sociological aspects of inducing behavioral change cannot be neglected. This paper provides a framework for assessing the impact of social factors for these applications, and discusses the role of social mediation of behaviors and attitudes.
