Recommendation by peripheral representation of conservation of agents for improving self-determination sense in decision making

Abstract

There are many recommendation systems which help users to search necessary information. However, sometimes they cannot satisfy the users for their decision making because the sense of self-determination decreases when user using them. To solve the problem, we propose an information presentation method to maintain or improve the user's sense of self-determination, and implement an information recommendation system with showing the conservation of agents to achieve the improvement of the user's self-determination sense. As a result of laboratory experiment, it is suggested that proposed system improves the participants' self-determination sense of their search results, and their satisfaction in searching.
