Chatterbox Opener: A Game to Support Healthy Communication and Relationships
summary
Built a prototype game called Chatterbox Opener with a task-drawing module and a database of prompts, tested in a two-week diary study with pre-survey and focus group. Three shared-experience strategies—memory sharing, joint activity, and empathy communication—produce distinct effects: memory sharing has the highest acceptance and extends conversation, joint activities work well only for co-located pairs, and empathy tasks trigger deeper disclosures. Results show the same task yields different outcomes per dyad, so adaptive task matching to relationship patterns is essential.
