Methods/Statistical analysis: This study employs two activities which are literature review and systematic review. Accordingly, 25 related models were compared and systematically analyzed. Findings: Result from the reviews indicates that persuasive technology has the ability to increase user awareness toward certain context or issues. Most of the studies show that the computer role as a media and social actor gives more impact to increase awareness compared to the computer role as a tool. In terms of persuasive strategy used, it shows that suggestion, cause and effect, and attractiveness are the most used strategies implemented in the applications. Application/Improvements: This study suggests that understanding the appropriate persuasive strategy is important in helping researchers developing an effective applications towards the intended outcome.
