在习惯养成应用程序中使用提醒可能会导致对提醒的依赖并阻碍行为的自动化。实施意图（如果-那么计划）已被发现是一种有效的技术，可用于支持形成新习惯/打破不良习惯。然而，由于忘记和缺乏强烈的意图，执行意图可能会受到影响。在这项研究中，我们通过对每日情绪报告任务进行为期 4 周的研究，调查了添加计划提醒如何影响实施意图。我们的研究结果表明，添加计划提醒可以更好地遵守计划并更好地回忆计划，但不一定会提高自动化程度。我们还讨论了如何改进实施意图的计划提醒。
实施意图是具体的行动计划，已被发现可以通过帮助某人打破不良习惯或形成新习惯来强有力地支持行为改变。当没有强烈的动机来执行预期行为时，实施意图可能会产生微弱的效果。现有的习惯形成/行为改变应用程序侧重于使用提醒。这可能会导致对提醒的依赖。我们提出了另一种方法，即在实际行动发生之前提前发送具体的实施意图提醒（计划提醒）。添加执行意图的计划提醒，合规性会更好，但自动化程度却不一定相同。
The use of reminders in habit-formation apps could lead to dependency towards the reminders and hinder the automaticity of the behaviour. Implementation intentions (if–then plan) have been found to be an effective technique that can be used to support forming new habits/breaking unwanted habits. However, implementation intentions could suffer due to forgetfulness and lack of strong intention. In this study, we investigated how adding plan reminders could impact implementation intentions by conducting a 4-week study on daily mood report task. Our findings suggest that adding plan reminders leads to better compliance and better recall of the plan but not necessarily increased automaticity. We also discuss how plan reminders of implementation intentions can be improved.
Implementation intentions are specific action planning that have been found to be powerful in supporting behaviour change by helping someone to break unwanted habits or form new habits. Implementation intentions could have a weak effect when there is no strong motivation to perform the intended behaviour. Existing habit formation/behaviour change apps focus on using reminders. This could lead to dependency towards the reminder. We propose an alternative approach by sending specific reminders of implementation intention (plan reminders) in advance before the actual action happens. Adding plan reminders on implementation intentions leads to better compliance, however, it is not necessarily the same in term of automaticity.
