Periodic Reporting for period 1 - OHPF (Optimizing for Happiness in Personal Finance)
Okres sprawozdawczy: 2015-09-30 do 2017-09-29
We implemented a system (app) for managing personal finance that includes capabilities for keeping affective history with regard to spending. Such a prototype is essential for obtaining an evaluation of improvements in affective forecasting achieved through availability of guidance generated based on the historical data. Additionally, the prototype was used to track SWB of individuals.
We studied whether more precise affective forecasts lead to greater pleasure from purchases and an improvement in the overall SWB. The results of quantitative experiments showed that technological advancements in the area of personal finance have a potential to improve well-being of people.
