Hajdu, E. (author), Ertürkan, H. (author), Desmet, P.M.A. (author)This paper explores the traditional distinction between problem- and possibility-driven design for promoting user well-being. Problem-driven design identifies and addresses unfulfilled needs to reduce ill-being (i.e., the first space of design for well-being), while possibility-driven design seeks to enhance well-being without addressing...conference paper 2023

Xue, H. (author), Zheng, Qianqian (author), Desmet, P.M.A. (author)Human moods are diffuse, elusive, and often difficult to articulate, yet they hold immense potential for wellbeing-centric design because they play a significant role in shaping our everyday life experiences. A person’s mood influences their experiences with a designed system, and in turn, their interactions with the design also influence their...conference paper 2023

Huang, S. (author), Desmet, P.M.A. (author)The relevance of human needs is generally recognized in human-centered design research and practice. However, a challenge of working with needs is that the word “need” can be interpreted in various ways, which can hinder effective communication and collaboration. Need typologies, in such cases, can serve as a shared language by providing an...conference paper 2023

Thoring, K.C. (author), Gonçalves, M. (author), Mueller, Roland M. (author), Badke-Schaub, P.G. (author), Desmet, P.M.A. (author)Building on the assumption that the physical environment can have an influence on the creativity of designers and design students in particular, the aim of this paper is to provide theoretical propositions and evidences for this relationship. We develop various propositions about the influence of physical environments on creativity, based on...conference paper 2017

Ozkaramanli, D. (author), Desmet, P.M.A. (author)Traditional design approaches stimulate the creation of products that make daily interactions more efficient, comfortable, and pleasant. In contrast, provocative design approaches, such as critical design, have a different focus: they aim to challenge the status quo through products that expose assumptions and stimulate discussion. In this paper...conference paper 2016

Duste, T. (author), Desmet, P.M.A. (author), van Grondelle, E.D. (author)User well‐being is increasingly addressed in design and design research. Previous work has proposed a design for well-¬‐being framework that includes three main ingredients: pleasure, personal significance, and virtue. While useful for analysing the well-¬‐being impact of existing designs, it is difficult to use the framework as a resource in...conference paper 2016

Casais, Mafalda (author), Mugge, R. (author), Desmet, P.M.A. (author)Using design to improve the lives of people towards a positive flourishing state is the main premise of Positive Design. Our contribution to this growing field focuses on making use of the symbolic meaning that design can have to bolster<br/>human happiness. This paper presents the development of a card set for designers aiming to inspire design...conference paper 2016

Yoon, J. (author), Pohlmeyer, A.E. (author), Desmet, P.M.A. (author)<p> The range of positive emotions experienced in human-product interactions is diverse, and understanding the differences and similarities between these positive emotions can support emotion-driven design. Yet, there is little knowledge about what kind of tool would be effective to leverage the differentiated nature of positive emotions in...conference paper 2016

Thoring, K.C. (author), Bellermann, Frederik (author), Mueller, Roland M. (author), Badke-Schaub, P.G. (author), Desmet, P.M.A. (author)Emotion measurement is a vital aspect for new product development and product improvements (see e.g. P. Desmet & Schifferstein, 2012). Nowadays, new technological devices, data mining, and social media offer many opportunities to invigorate design research. This paper tries to combine both aspects by exploring the question, how new...conference paper 2016

Casais, Mafalda (author), Mugge, R. (author), Desmet, P.M.A. (author)Material possessions with happiness-related symbolic meanings can provide a contribution to subjective well-being (happiness), because they remind owners of memories, achievements, or aspirations. Such possessions provide an anchor for personally meaningful narratives, help in the construction and communication of self-identity, represent...conference paper 2016

Marques Ribeiro Da Silva Cas, M. (author), Mugge, R. (author), Desmet, P.M.A. (author)Because products are often discarded while still fully functioning, it may be possible to support durability with design that stimulates a more enduring product-owner relationship. This paper is based on the proposition that one promising approach to support such prolonged relevance is by developing products with a higher predisposition for the...conference paper 2015

Ozkaramanli, D. (author), Ozcan Vieira, E. (author), Desmet, P.M.A. (author)This paper starts from the proposition that concern conflicts can be powerful starting points for user-centered design processes. Our focus is on the challenge to identify conflicting concerns that are both inspiring and relevant in the context of use, or in the user’s general context of life. First, three main ingredients of concern conflict...conference paper 2014

Ortíz Nicolás, J.C. (author), Aurisicchio, M. (author), Desmet, P.M.A. (author)This study reports quantitative research into two basic dimensions of emotions: pleasantness and arousal. Fifty-nine participants evaluated these two dimensions for a set of twenty-five positive emotions in relation to human-product interactions. Three levels of arousal were iden- tified: ‘exciting’, ‘median’ and ‘calm’. Nine emotions were found...conference paper 2014
