This study experimentally compared the effects of two forms of inspirational information organization, single-organization (using folders only) and multi-organization (folders plus tags), on designers’ design creativity in the conceptual design stage. The main findings are: (1) The use of tags in the multi-organization form facilitates a more in-depth and involved processing of inspiration information, and significantly improves the effort score. In addition, it reduces the mental and temporal demands in the retrieval process and does not add too much workload to the subjects. (2) Information organization methods have different impacts on creativity. The results show that by using a multi-organization method, the novelty of design solutions can be improved. This study verifies the positive impact of multiple organizations as an inspirational information structuring method on design creativity, which provides a directional reference for the development activities of information organization tools for designers.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100031,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Design Research","volume":"1 2","pages":"Pages 78-86"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49752605","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Compared to an unsupported head, the final inflatable designs reduce positional diffusivity and drift over 120 s intervals by a factor of 2.

The difficulties of understanding design ethics as being the result of an impalpable ethical directive are explored.

This concept is presented as an antidote to the pervasive postmodern, nihilistic, and mercantile design ideology that has prevailed in recent decades. Hence the necessity to show how ethical issues designers face within the context of design thinking and practice are intrinsically not only complex but <em>multifocal</em>; they stem from several grounds that define the rights and obligations of a diversity of affected agents. <em>Virtue</em> is presented as a suitable ethical approach to engaging such a multifocal ethical phenomenon in design thinking and practice at all levels of design deliberation.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100031,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Design Research","volume":"1 1","pages":"Pages 1-6"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49748234","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Thus, this study first conducts a narrative review using a systematic search strategy to gain an understanding of the emotion regulation strategies related to Big Five personality traits for informing the designers in their ER tool design. Second, based on the understanding, it proposes an emotion regulation tool design framework with personality traits for guiding designers/design researchers to develop ER tools. Third, an ER tool is designed and prototyped based on the framework, then it is used in a case study to qualitatively evaluate the framework's usefulness. It is concluded that the framework can provide good guidelines for designers/design researchers to follow when developing ER tools, and in this study the resultant ER tool can better the end-users’ engagement in the ER process.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100031,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Design Research","volume":"1 1","pages":"Pages 38-49"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49764878","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, we proposed a design method for manned enclosed cabins driven by human operational performance. By identifying the critical factors influencing human operation performance, an ergonomic design index system for a manned cabin was constructed, and three ergonomic design methods for the manned cabin were proposed. Taking a manned submersible as an example, a case analysis and methods of application verification were conducted.
