虽然激励信息和金钱激励都是促进人们体育活动的有效干预策略，但这些策略如何共同作用以增加人们的每日步数以及干预期后效果是否会持续尚不清楚。在这里，我们调查了这两种干预措施是如何影响久坐工作的成年办公室员工设定目标并实现这些日常步骤目标的。我们发现，只有当人们的行为首先受到激励信息的影响，而不是通过金钱的影响时，激励信息才能改善人们的行走行为。虽然金钱激励可以提高人们对麻省理工学院的目标，但它使自我效能低的人倾向于设定更容易的目标。金钱激励可能会对自我效能低的人的行走行为产生不利影响。这些发现有助于阐明如何为移动健康和健身应用程序设计有说服力的机制。

We found that motivational messages can improve people's walking behavior only when their behavior is first influenced by motivational messages, not through money. Although monetary incentives increase people's comMassachusetts Institute of Technologyment to goals, it makes those who with low self-efficacy tend to set easier goals. Monetary incentives may have adversely affect the walking behavior of people who have low self-efficacy. These findings help to shed some lights on how to design persuasive mechanisms for mobile health and fitness applications.
