This religion is influenced by Hindu, Buddhist, and Java animist traditions. These beliefs are practiced by Javanese in a more syncretic way with Islam and Christianity, the major religions practiced in Indonesia. Javanese also perform traditional rituals related to Javanese culture in addition to their worship according to the main religion. In such rituals, offerings are the main component in their effort to establish “communication” with gods. The Javanese are primarily rice farmers and utilize postharvest rice plant parts as the artefacts and materials as offering elements in several rituals. These utilizations commonly represent their prayer to the gods as related to prosperity of rice and basic needs and the hope of fertility, protection, beauty, generosity, and purity. In addition to serving as a symbol for the suppliant’s desires, the Javanese also utilize postharvest rice plant part artefacts as representations of gods and as reminders of life values.","PeriodicalId":383659,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of Japanese Society for the Science of Design","volume":"46 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-11-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124362130","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}

Therefore, we quantitatively measured the effect of emotional vs. informational appeal on purchase intentions and favorability for two high-involvement products, OTC drugs and laptops. Participants having viewed and evaluated the appeal of TV advertisements, a multiple regression analysis indicated that informational appeal such as “product features” enabled the prediction of purchase intentions for laptops, while “product features” and “feeling of safety” were both significantly correlated to purchase intentions for OTC drugs. Favorability for these two categories was also significantly correlated to the “interesting” variable. Finally we examined consumer reliability across different media choices. Consumers relied heavily on internet advertising when purchasing laptops, while considering TV advertising to be the most reliable information source for OTC drugs.","PeriodicalId":383659,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of Japanese Society for the Science of Design","volume":"137 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-05-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126891196","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}

The present study demonstrated how the colors of eye shadow changed perception of redness or yellowness in the face. Three face colors, neutral, reddish, and yellowish, and 7 typical colors of eye shadow covering all hues were examined. The brightness of the faces was fairly high. Sixteen female students compared the color of faces and ellipses to evaluate their redness and yellowness. Serial and simultaneous presentation of the face and ellipse were implemented. The results showed that only some reddish eye shadows, like red, pink, or purple, enhanced the redness of reddish as well as yellowish faces in the serial presentation of face and ellipses. Examination of the chromaticness index of the colors that had a significant effect of color induction revealed that the colors with high positive values of a* and medium positive values of b* showed an assimilation effect in complexion.","PeriodicalId":383659,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of Japanese Society for the Science of Design","volume":"79 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-01-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124850398","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}

Generally, it is the creation of physical and emotional dialogues between a person and a product, system, or service that can be experienced during the action and reaction between form, function, and new technology. User-product interaction describes the behavioral relationships between user and product, which are analyzed to understand the tangible actions and apply that knowledge to product design applications, including the design of the symbols that help the user understand the product’s intended use. In any kind of interaction, affordances (characteristics of a product that help users perform tasks) play an important role. Proper evaluation of the role of affordances in these interactions can result in better-designed objects and consequently better user-product interactions. Current methods of evaluation in the user-product interaction design process have not been fully explored, and new, more scientific approaches are needed. In this study we focused on a statistic evaluation model of the behavioral relationship between user and product. By studying theoretically reviewed, multi-disciplinary papers and projects dealing with affordance and related fields, we summarized and systematically explained how to evaluate user-product interactions by analyzing the affordances, which are generally focused on cognitive, physical and functional information. This paper proposes a new analytics-based, user-product interaction evaluation (UPIE) model which can provide product designers with more informative and reliable interaction data, and ultimately help them redesign and improve user-product interaction.","PeriodicalId":383659,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of Japanese Society for the Science of Design","volume":"59 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-01-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120941447","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}
