About design & emotions

Emotions link to the core of who we are. Things that are appraised as good for our well-being trigger positive emotions. Often there is a designed product, service or environment involved. Rationally, we draw conclusions, emotionally we create actions. They initiate behaviour and motivate our decisions.

Affective responses strongly influence (source: P.M.A. Desmet):

  • purchase intent
  • price willingness
  • in-store purchase behavior
  • post-purchase satisfaction
  • brand relationships
  • re-purchase decisions

Emotions are personal, short and involve a relationship. The product appraisal model (Desmet) explains that there is no one-to-one relationships between design and the emotional impact!

Therefore we refer to it as Design "for" Emotion.

Fortunately there are many ways of measuring emotions and designing with emotional intent.
