Abstract

We propose a smartphone-based ambulatory assessment study that explores if the efficacy of mental contrasting for causing behavioral change translates to experiencing flow in everyday work. Further, our study investigates if individualized prompting for use of a self-regulation tool is more effective than repeated reminders.
