An optimization approach for suggesting product design parameters based on emotive responses is proposed that combines Kansei techniques and particle swarm optimization algorithm (PSO). The approach involves designing a Kansei survey for collecting data on customers’ affective responses to various aspects of a product, using several exemplars of the product. After information gathering, the PSO...

this paper reports results from a corpus-based study that explored the frequency of words in the abstracts of applied linguistics journal articles. the abstracts of major articles in leading applied linguists journals, published since 2005 up to november 2001 were analyzed using software modules from the compleat lexical tutor. the output includes a list of the most frequent content words, list...

The digital instrument interface designers in industrial circle must face the typical nonlinear and uncertainty of the relationship between Kansei images (KIs) and product attributes (PAs), and the shortage of the statistical sample. It is conducted thorough research to the problem of nonlinear processing method, pointed out a new way that using combinatorial methods to solve the complex proble...

Research Aims: This research aims to discover work events that influence employees’ emotional states construct a more comprehensive Kansei-based scale. Design/Methodology/Approach: A mixed-method approach was adopted by combining qualitative and quantitative techniques in an Exploratory Sequential Design. Findings: In study 1, the Kawakita Jiro (KJ) method (i.e., focus group study) (N = 28) ide...
