A Research On The Influential Factors Of Quantified Self Of Smart Wristband Users From The Perspective Of Human-Computer Communication

The disenchantment popularization of smart wristband technology has promoted the rise of the quantified self movement.In addition,global risks such as the COVID-19 outbreak have promoted the development of national health awareness represented by quantified self.Quantified self is a practice of accomplishing self-management goals by reflecting on behavioral data.Quantified Self has two characteristics.Firstly,it is an intelligent media privacy decision-making behavior.Different from the era of social media,intelligent media is accompanied by quiet "subcutaneous monitoring",and larger and more sensitive physiological information,thinking and emotion and other personal information will become more readily available resources,while users’ perception of privacy risks has not been significantly improved.Considering it as a privacy decision,it is helpful to clarify the influencing mechanism of privacy calculation factors based on rational trade-off.Secondly,quantified self needs to obtain feedback data based on specific media and complete the practice,and the interaction with smart wristband is in line with the human-computer interaction situation.Irrational factors such as media identity and burnout affect human beings and media have diversified relationships.By focusing on the characteristics of media of smart wristband device,the deep connection between users and quantified self can be found.This study focuses on two characteristics of the quantified self of smart wristband devices to discuss its influencing factors,and mainly derives three questions: First,is the privacy computing theory still used in the smart wristband scenario? Second,what client-side factors will affect quantitative self-decision making through the path of privacy calculation? Third,in addition to rational computing,how does the relationship between the smart wristband as a media entity and the user affect quantified self practice? By solving these problems,this study has the following significance: In theory,the smart wristband as a medium as a link to integrate the human-computer relationship and privacy issues,taking into account the rational and irrational level,to improve the integrity of the research on quantitative self-influencing factors,especially the empirical verification of the extended privacy computing theory and media identity effect in the smart wristband users.At the level of practical significance,as a privacy study in the context of man-machine communication,this study not only contributes to the development of effective privacy protection countermeasures,but also promotes the wave of national health,guides the healthy development of the robot and intelligent media industry,and has positive significance for the media industry,users’ physiological psychology and privacy protection.In terms of research methods,this study combines quantitative and qualitative research methods,including literature analysis,sampling survey and semi-structured interview,so as to obtain better results on the integrity of factors influencing the quantified self and the depth of analysis.From the two dimensions of rationality and irrationality,it has a more substantial response to the privacy issues and man-machine relationship issues in the smart wristband scene.Finally,through 307 valid questionnaires collected and 14 smart wristband users interviewed,the following conclusions were drawn:(1)Privacy calculation theory is also applicable in the smart wristband scenario,and perceived privacy decision benefits can affect the willingness to make quantitative decisions more than perceived risks.(2)Quantified self subjective norm,device trust,human-computer intimacy all have significant positive effects on perceived privacy decision income,while perceived information sensitivity,privacy concern and perceived passivity have significant positive effects on perceived privacy decision risk.(3)After the diachronic reflection of the interviewed users,it is found that the relationship between people and smart wristbands has the shadow of media equivalent,that is,users treat the wristbands with different emotions as they treat different social objects.Behind this relationship is the reaction of technology objects on individuals,which may also affect the drift of quantitative self-practice.Specifically,in addition to being tools,quantitative participants may see them as empowering themselves,submitting to the authority of such surveillance within their bodies,using them as performance props,even questioning them and looking to escape,or being tame,being dominated by wristbands and data.These relationships can be repeated."Burnout" has a different meaning here.Privacy burnout is passive submission,while active smart band burnout is more like tactical pause,which becomes the resistance mechanism of the wrist band user.As a kind of medium,smart wristband is not only an intermediary for transmitting information,but also affects our lives imperceptibly.Quantified self is not only a privacy decision,but also a habit embedded in People’s Daily life.The research findings of privacy computing from a rational perspective have inspired new privacy protection ideas,which can ensure the health and privacy security of users while the industry can also develop healthily.The human-machine relationship and burnout psychology from the perspective of irrationality show that the "self-optimization" narrative of "quantified self" has not been fully realized,which also calls for humanistic reflection in the process of digitization.As the relationship between human and non-human entities becomes more complex,human beings need to view a series of new relationships in a healthy way.
