In this paper, a design approach is introduced for designing products with added emotional value. First, the approach was established, based on a theoretical framework and a non-verbal instrument to measure emotional responses. Second, the value of the design approach was assessed by applying it to the design of mobile telephones. Mobile telephones were found to be useful vehicles as people appear to have strong feelings about this product. A user study was conducted which resulted in the identification of two user groups (‘trend followers' and ‘security seekers') and for each group an emotional profile. Four telephones were designed which, for each group, either were intended to or were not intended to match the group's profile. Finally, these designs were evaluated with the non-verbal instrument. The results indicate that the approach is appropriate for designing products with added emotional value. The advantages and disadvantages of the approach are discussed and further research directions indicated.read more

When a Car Makes You Smile: Development and Application of an Instrument to Measure Product Emotions
The basis of product emotions
Pma Desmet,Ppm Hekkert +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a conceptual model for the process underlying emotional responses that result from the perception of consumer products is introduced, based on the assumption that all emotional reactions result from an appraisal process in which the individual appraises the product as favouring or harming one or several of his concerns.

Possessions and the extended self.
TL;DR: In this paper, a variety of evidence is presented supporting this simple and compelling premise and implications for consumer behavior are derived for consumer behaviour because the construct of extended self involves consumer behavior rather than buyer behavior, it appears to be a much richer construct than previous formulations positing a relationship between selfconcept and consumer brand choice.
