%X <p>This dataset contains data and analysis from the experiment conducted for the thesis <em>Goal-setting dialogue for physical activity with a virtual coach. </em></p>
<p><br></p>
<p>We studied goal-setting with a virtual coach (conversational agent). The purpose of this study was to find out whether presenting examples of people who achieved a running or walking goal enhances running or walking self-efficacy of the user. We evaluated two example types: general examples (the overall most motivating examples) or examples that were personalized. Personalized examples were examples that people similar to the user considered motivating.</p>
<p>An experiment was conducted to evaluate whether there was an increase in users' self-efficacy after the conversation with the virtual coach, how motivating the given examples were, and users' attitudes towards the virtual coach. </p>
