My goal is to understand what motivates individuals to chase their objectives. Particularly, I support people to improve or change their behavior with temporary technology support. Health, Physical Activity, and Wellbeing are my focus fields. My research lies in the intersection between&nbsp;<strong>behavior change<\/strong>,&nbsp;<strong>human-computer interaction<\/strong>, psychology and software development.<\/p>\n<p>I enjoy creating software, sharing knowledge and training and leading people. These activities were my routine while working back in Costa Rica -my fascinating home country-.<\/p>\n<p>In my PhD research, I study&nbsp;<strong>human motivation<\/strong>. Particularly, &nbsp;the effects of intrinsic and extrinsic motivation (based on Self-Determination Theory) on physical activity. &nbsp;I do this through long-term mobile technological interventions.<\/p>\n<p>When not wearing my researcher hat, I travel to new cities to enjoy concerts of my favorite music bands. I also love cooking and recently got immersed in the yoga world.<\/p>\n<p>See more information on my work <a href=\"https:\/\/wp.unil.ch\/persuasivelab\/2020\/07\/behavior-change-technology-and-physical-activity-agon\/\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Contact: gabriela[dot]villalobos[at]unil[dot]ch<\/p>\n<p>For more information visit my personal website:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.gvillaloboz.com\/\">www.gvillaloboz.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I create persuasive tech.
