Study Of User-Centered Design On Psychology

During the trend of present innovative thoughts and the development ofadvancing ideas that humanized design brings forth in the field of industrialdesign, this article further studies the relationship between users and productsand proves theories and applications of design practice how to research users.On the basis of the complexity of User Interface and difficult to operate,User-centered Design, a computer application research method, is put forward.And it is a new term for Industrial Design. Combing theory of UCD and practiceof ID, this article proves User-centered Design theory of Industrial Design basedon Psychology. This article expounds the newly concept of User-centered Design. Inpsychological terms, products must embody usability and emotion, so itestablishes scientific design ideas and systemic courses according to humanbehavioral motive from psychology and social characteristics. Sequentially,Product, which is easy to use and endowed with emotion, is refined exploringrelationship between user and product. User-centered Design comprises of easy-used design and emotional design,which are indispensable and interaction in designing products. It is knowledge ofpsychology that design elements are acquired. User's behavior can be applied toplastic design through researching during operation from cognize and aesthesia,and thinking relative factors such as form, color, and material from user's values,emotion, culture, taste, etc. Moreover, to apply both of them must be based onPsychology, which is Design Investigate propounded in this article. DesignInvestigate based on the basis of Psychology application is a process visitingusers, doing experiments and designing questionnaire on the knowledge ofCognize Psychology, Social Psychology and Emotion Psychology. And then,user models used in design come into being. Finally, this article brings up innovative User-centered Design based onPsychology and confirms its feasibility by Beijing Qiankun Digital MP3 DesignProject. On results of the assessments systems of reliability and validity, the dataof Design Investigate have reliability and is successfully applied to the project.
