Research On Stress Relief Product Design For The Youth Group In China

Social development has brought about a rapid improvement in people’s material living standards,but on the other hand,people’s mental health problems are also becoming increasingly prominent.This phenomenon is particularly prominent among young people,who often face different types of stress sources such as academic stress,work stress,family stress,social stress,marriage stress,etc.If they cannot effectively cope with it,it will bring great negative impacts to their lives.Nowadays,various sectors of society are increasingly paying attention to the issue of psychological stress among young people,and related services and measures are gradually improving.Therefore,designers should join this area more to scientifically and effectively design stress relieving products,seek the benefits of youth,and contribute to the long-term development of society.As the basic theoretical source of this study,positive psychology has the advantage of subversive changes in the perspective of past psychology.Past psychology is more passive,while positive psychology has developed a "positive" perspective to face psychological problems.Under this perspective,the design concept has changed from "reducing the sense of pressure" to "increasing the sense of happiness",which means a change from a problem to an advantage,from a short-term perspective to a long-term perspective.Based on the "happiness theory" of positive psychology,the research shows that the factors to improve the level of youth group’s happiness are "accomplishment","meaning" and "engagement" among the five elements of happiness.Using the method of "happiness design matrix" in positive design,this paper analyzes twelve design opportunities of youth group happiness design,and summarizes the design strategies of youth group decompression products based on this,which are respectively "humanized instinct design","happiness visualization design","immersive experience design" and "environmental systematic design".Among them,happiness visualization is realized through the "positive archives" of positive psychology,including archives representing past accomplishment and archives representing future goals,while immersive experience represents current engagement,so that users can run through an infinitely extended timeline in design,and promote a life state of continuous happiness and freedom from pressure.In the design practice,a head-worn intelligent eye massage instrument was designed for the youth group,which combines the needs of users for physiological and psychological stress relief,and targets both acute and chronic stress.In addition to relieving eye fatigue through basic functions such as massage,hot compress,and cold compress,users can also use the pressure sensor on the product hardware to detect their personal stress level,and connect to the mobile app through Bluetooth function,achieving a more diverse range of stress relief functions including happiness file management,daily task management,stress management,Bluetooth music,mindfulness meditation,Blindfold game and so on.
