Abstract:Persuasive technology (PT) and its capacity to shape human behavior and cognition have become deeply woven into modern society, inspiring researchers and practitioners across the globe to pursue groundbreaking work on behavior change across multiple fields. As technology becomes more deeply integrated into daily life, the ability to shape human attitudes and behaviors has become essential for tackling a wide range of societal and individual challenges. PT represents a dynamic, cross-disciplinary field centered on creating, building, and assessing interactive systems designed to influence people’s behavior, beliefs, and actions through persuasive methods, avoiding coercion or manipulation. These technologies enhance well-being and quality of life by helping people define and reach their personal objectives in areas including health, education, environmental sustainability, and social engagement.
This year, the 21st edition of the International Conference on Persuasive Technology (PERSUASIVE 2026) took place in Hakodate, Japan, from March 10 to 13, 2026.
This volume focuses on the proceedings of the satellite events of the conference, including the accepted papers in the Late Breaking Results track, Posters, Demonstra-tions and Artefacts, Workshops, and Doctoral Consortium papers. The accepted papers from the main track have been published in Lecture Notes in Computer Science by Springer.
This volume contains fifteen (15) papers presented in the Late Breaking Results track, twenty (20) Demo, Poster, and Artefacts papers, two (2) papers from the Doc-toral Consortium, two (2) papers presented at the Personalizing Persuasive Technologies Workshop 2026, five (5) papers from the 1st International Workshop on Trust and Blame in Social Agents (TBSA 2026), one (1) paper from the 2nd International Workshop on Upholding Ethical Designs (I-WOULD 2026), and twelve (12) papers presented at the 3rd BTI International Workshop (BTIW3). All papers underwent a double-blind review process conducted in EasyChair, with each Demo, Poster, and Artefacts paper receiving at least one review, and all other papers receiving at least two reviews by the program committee members. The final acceptance of the papers was decided after thorough consideration of the reviews.
We would like to thank the program committee members and organizers of the PERSUASIVE 2026 conference, track chairs, workshop organizers, reviewers, and all those who contributed towards the successful publication of these satellite proceedings.
