TOOL 1UNDERSTAND

RELATIONALMOTIVATIONS

”Niccolò Machiavelli

Men in general judge more from appearances than from reality.

All men have eyes, but few have the gift of penetration.

Four Relational Motivations

Competition

A good way to promote competition is by comparing the metrics you want the people to compete on.

vs

Excellence

An good way to promote excellence is by rewarding with intrinsic rewards the user.

Communication

Emergence of Groups

Relation

In Friendfeed there’s an excellent feature that shows you the messages where your friend answered or liked.

This works on the Curiosity motivation.

Relation

The Like button has a very clever design that highlight your relationships: wherever you are on the web, seeing the face of a friend of yours there is incredibly reassuring.

This works on the Affection motivation.

Identity

Might be surprising, but MySpace excelled in something: identity.The high degree of customization, allowed by a workaround, triggered an incredible level of self-expression (with all its consequences).

This works on the Excellence motivation.

Identity

Twitter has one of the best identity expression feature around for simplicity and efficiency: the custom background changes completely the page look and feel.

This works on the Excellence motivation.

Identity

Many games put a lot of emphasis on identity, think for example about World of Warcraft and Second Life.

This works on the Excellence motivation.

Communication

Another strong element of Twitter is its focus on communication, in particular broadcast communication.

This works on the Curiosity motivation.

Communication

Often ignored, instant messaging systems are incredibly powerful social networks focused on communication. Skype is an excellent example of this, allowing multiple types of communication in one.

This works on the Curiosity motivation.

Emergence of Groups

Another feature of Skype that is so simple it’s almost not noticed is it’s ability to create groups on the fly. You need to talk with a couple of friend right now? Create a chat ad hoc with a couple of clicks, done!

This works on the Affection motivation.

Emergence of Groups

The king here today is Google+, even if with the Circles concept it has a very specific interpretation of group.

This works on the Affection motivation.

Emergence of Groups

Facebook has introduced a very interesting feature as well: dynamic groups.

This works on the Affection motivation.
