Socio-emotional Experience in Human Technology Interaction Design – A Fashion Framework Proposal

2021

Technology designers and developers can be understood as social experience (SE) mediators. In user experience (UX), notions of SE have served to identify and define the factors contributing to human-technology interaction (HTI). Three dominant perspectives have been promoted in UX discourse: 1) SE of brand, brand value and consumer culture; 2) technology design as mediator of human-to-human interactions; and 3) meaning generation through action and interaction between actors. Symbolic interactionalism understands meaning as occurring through dialogue, in the construction of the social self, promoting self-reflection as a social construction.

Emotions in second language learning as seen in autobiographical narratives written by university students : a discursive study

2016

Tunteet ovat osa jokapäiväistä elämäämme, niin hyvässä, kuin pahassakin, ja ne voivat olla ihmisiä eteenpäin vievä tai toisaalta lamaannuttava voima. Tunteet rakentuvat sosiaalisessa kanssakäymisessä, mutta yksilökohtaiset kokemukset tunteiden merkityksestä ja voimakkuudesta ovat avain niiden ymmärtämiseen. Tieteellisessä tutkimuksessa tunteet on usein jätetty huomiotta, sillä niiden on perinteisesti koettu olevan joko liian haastavia tai liian merkityksettömiä tutkittavaksi. 1990-luvulta lähtien tunteiden merkitystä on kuitenkin alettu arvostaa enenevässä määrin ja yhä suurempi määrä tutkijoita on huomioinut tunteet tutkimuksissaan. Myös kielitieteissä tunteiden tärkeä rooli on alettu ymmä…
