Design Criteria for Web Applications Adapted to Emotions

چکیده
The main goal of this work is to identify a set of design criteria for Web applications taking into account the users’ emotions. The results are based on the analysis of a user study with 50 participants who tested six Web interfaces, each one designed to elicit a specific emotion (hate, anxiety, boredom, fun, serenity, love). The design criteria applied to the six emotion-based Web interfaces were drawn from the results of a previous survey, which involved 57 different users, on the relationships between emotional state and Web interfaces. This initial survey asked the users to indicate the emotions most often associated with Web interaction, and then assign each emotion with some specific Web design characteristics. The resulting design criteria can form the basis for a set of emotion-related guidelines for Web application user interfaces.

Design Criteria for Stimulating Emotions in Web Applications
This work aims to identify the main aspects of Web design responsible for eliciting specific emotions. For this purpose, we performed a user study with 40 participants testing a Web application designed by applying a set of criteria for stimulating various emotions. In particular, we considered six emotions (hate, anxiety, boredom, fun, serenity, love), and for each of them a specific set of de...
متن کاملThe Design of Web Sites Adaptable to Emotion-related Aspects
In this paper, we discuss an approach to designing Web sites, which can be adapted to emotion-related aspects. We present a set of design criteria that have been identified for this purpose and show how they have been applied to a specific case study: an adaptable Web site for e-readings. The Web site has been designed for supporting four versions of users interfaces, which correspond to differ...
متن کاملDesign and Evaluation of a Method for Partitioning and Offloading Web-based Applications in Mobile Systems with Bandwidth Constraints
Computation offloading is known to be among the effective solutions of running heavy applications on smart mobile devices. However, irregular changes of a mobile data rate have direct impacts on code partitioning when offloading is in progress. It is believed that once a rate-adaptive partitioning performed, the replication of such substantial processes due to bandwidth fluctuation can be avoid...
متن کاملDoes the Web Design Disconnect the Emotional Connection?
Recently, more and more attention is being paid to emotions in the field of Human-Computer Interaction. However, there has been little research that focuses on the relation between emotions and usability or ‘web design’. In this context, we examined the correlation between the emotions of the user and the usability of the applications he or she is working with. The main findings reveal that the...
متن کاملInvestigating emotions in creative design
A wealth of research has suggested that emotions play a significant role in the creative problem solving process, but less work has focused on investigating the role of emotions in the design process. This is surprising given that creative problem solving lies at the heart of the design processes. In an exploratory study we interviewed 9 expert designers about their emotions during the design p...
