| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Based on surveys on successful uses of gamification in diverse fields and the examining continuous use of refrigerator, which is a household appliance that consumes a large amount of energy, I derived a hypothesis that use of three game elements of “behavior conversion”, “behavior empathy”, and “behavior approval” for expressing the acts of users is essential for effective use of gamification in ecological indicator of home electric appliances. On the other hand ,the use of gamification for the ecological indicator was shown to be effective not in suppressing or preventing users from performing a necessary act but in promoting their energy-saving consciousness.
