Description

Refles – reflect and develop user’s character strengths

Refles aims to provide a gamified reflection tool for young adults who want to understand themselves. Through this engaging method, they are able to reflect on their lives and develop their strengths with feedbacks. We identified three issues which exist in the common practice of self-reflection, and by adopting the CSV framework into our design, we developed three key features. These key features offer young adults an effective, inspirational and insightful reflective learning experience.

******************************

Refles – Facilitate personal reflection and develop ones’ character strengths

Stress, depression and anxiety are common syndromes that dampened the well-being of city dwellers. A recent survey (Hong Kong Playground Association, 2018) found that one-third of young Hongkongers suffer from moderate to extreme depression. In this project, we propose making self-reflection part of our everyday routine so as to increase positivity in our life.

Refles fosters personal reflection in two ways. First, it is based on scientifically proven studies of Character Strengths and Virtues framework. The framework consisted of 24 character strengths, which promote positive behavioural changes by building awareness on and developing them. Second, it offers a gamified reflection tool that turns self-reflection into daily practice. Refles builds a greater connection with oneself by recording people’s thoughts, behaviours, and associated character strengths, and thereby enhancing the self-reflective learning experience. Using Refles increases self-awareness, inspires self-acceptance and enables self-growth.
