Key contributions
- Developed a 12-dimension framework for understanding Body Doubling for adults with ADHD.
- Dimensions cover individual motivation, agent characteristics, interaction, context, and efficacy.
- Identified research gaps including limited MR prototypes and need for more interactive body doubles.
- Highlights the need for empirical studies to better understand body doubling and ADHD.
Why it matters
This paper offers a foundational framework for Mixed Reality Body Doubling, a self-management technique for adults with ADHD. It identifies key dimensions and highlights research gaps in current MR prototypes. This work is crucial for guiding future development of effective digital tools.
Original Abstract
Adults with ADHD may use a self-management technique known as Body Doubling, in which the participant employs the presence of one or more agents as a means of initiating and completing tasks. We developed a framework on body doubling with twelve dimensions to better understand the characteristics of body doubling and discover future research directions for developing and testing body doubling for adults with ADHD. Our framework accounts for individual motivation, agent-related dimensions, interaction related dimensions, contextual dimensions, and efficacy. These dimensions show existing research gaps such as limited mixed reality prototypes, possibilities for more interactive body doubles, and the need for empirical studies to further understand of body doubling and adults with ADHD.
