Children’s social APP design based on octagonal behavior analysis

Abstract

Objective To explore the application of octagonal behavior analysis method in children’s social APP design through relevant theories and achievements of gamifi cation design, so as to provide more perspectives for improving social fun. The method starts with the theory of octagonal behavior analysis, and explores the eight core driving forces that trigger diff erent types of child users’ behaviors. This paper summarizes the types of children users of social apps, puts forward design mechanisms and methods suitable for diff erent types of children users, and based on this, the design conclusion of children’s social apps based on the innovative design of octagonal behavior analysis and gamifi cation design theory explores the needs of diff erent types of children in social interaction and provides corresponding solutions. It also provides referential ideas for the design of children’s social apps
