Therefore, this study examined the emotional characteristics of facial stiffness—one of the indicators for estimating patients' flat affect—using average faces. First, we conducted an experiment for psychological evaluation of facial stiffness in 16 Japanese patients with schizophrenia. Twelve medical professionals rated the patients' facial stiffness in 147 videos. Their gaze data were also collected. To extract the physical characteristics of facial stiffness, 11 average faces of 14 male patients and one average face of a group of healthy subjects were generated. The average faces were subjected to an emotion evaluation test by the existing application and 33 medical experts. The results showed that most of the average faces differed in the proportions of the eight emotions between two tests. The most common emotions were anger for the stiffest average face and calm for the healthy average face. In the application analysis, the percentage of emotions other than calm, such as anger and sadness, ranged from 15–65%. In contrast, in the judgment by medical experts ranged from 55–97% for emotions other than calm. The results suggest that “the perception of anger” or “the perception of complex emotions with a mix of anger, confusion, disgust, fear or sadness” is related to the judgment of facial stiffness by medical professionals.","PeriodicalId":433529,"journal":{"name":"9th International Conference on Kansei Engineering and Emotion Research.

The present study aimed to investigate the motion factors and find how motion affects the evaluation of sense of being alive. Two sets of motion graphics, artifacts and natural creature were used in the evaluation. The artifact set was composed of three levels of displacement (Linear), sine curve, and noise factors. The natural creature set was composed of data from fish locomotion. The findings of the study presented that (1) motion graphics based on natural creature were rated more positively than those that are based on artifact, (2) the motion graphics based on artifact showed the importance of noise factors, which highly correlated with expressing the sense of being alive compared to other factors. Moreover, it was found that high and low noise factors positively influenced the evaluation of the sense of being alive more than those without noise.","PeriodicalId":433529,"journal":{"name":"9th International Conference on Kansei Engineering and Emotion Research.

This study aimed to examine the relationship between Japanese consumers’ current behaviors of purchasing OTC medicines and literacy through exploring the digital experience of purchasing based on tablets. An online questionnaire was conducted in the Kanto region of Japan, which included questions on purchasing behaviors and medication literacy, and the Japanese version of the eHealth Literacy Scale. Of the participants who had experience in purchasing OTC medicines, 89.47% preferred to buy them at pharmacies or stores, whereas 9.47% tended to purchase them online (χ2(2) = 271.50, p < .01); 64.24% accepted choosing medicines through a digital screen (χ2(3) = 102.36, p < .01) and 85.26% obtained information through smartphones while purchasing OTC medicines at pharmacies or stores. Young consumers aged 20-29 years used smartphones significantly more frequently than those aged 30-49 years (p <. 01). There was a positive correlation between eHealth literacy and smartphone use (r = .24, p < .01). The results suggest that Japanese consumers prefer to visit a pharmacy or drug store to purchase OTC medicines. They also prefer to search for information about OTC medicines on-site with a digital device, such as a smartphone, rather than buying OTC medicines from online stores. The digital experience of a tablet-based purchasing system would be useful and acceptable for young consumers and those with high eHealth literacy.","PeriodicalId":433529,"journal":{"name":"9th International Conference on Kansei Engineering and Emotion Research.

The value of the deformation resistance of the stimuli expresses the degree of deformation to return to the original of the object when touching it in VR space. The lower value indicates the larger deformation like pudding and the higher one is the smaller one like thick rubber they were used three types of values lower and higher, and no-deformation of the objects. The shapes of objects as the stimuli were three shapes (sphere, cube, pyramid). The colors of the stimuli were selected from five colors (red, green, green, gray, and white) and they have used two types of the feeling of materials (matte and metallic) in each color. Ten participants were asked to subjectively evaluate the softness and impression of the stimulus. In the results, the evaluation changes from soft to hard by increasing the values of deformation resistance in all the stimuli in VR space. It is suggested that the degree of the deformation to return to the original can express the softness of objects when touching them in VR space even though the user does not touch them physically. It also discussed the relationship between softness and its impression of the stimuli in VR space.","PeriodicalId":433529,"journal":{"name":"9th International Conference on Kansei Engineering and Emotion Research.

In particular, new products offer new features requiring new customer behavior. This is typically driven by technology push, environmental concerns, or legal requirements. Due to inconvenience users do not easily change their behavior and thereby reject novel products unless they offer an obvious delight in the eyes of the user. Product developers need to take this in account when designing products. Tools such as UX, Kansei Engineering and Kano model are amongst those supporting product practitioners. This is exemplified by the affective evaluation of computer mice over three generations. It can be seen that in particular women have different affective needs in comparison to men related to auditive properties of mice. Hence it is important to adjust the user panel composition in accordance with the expected effect in order to avoid biases due to lacking diversity.","PeriodicalId":433529,"journal":{"name":"9th International Conference on Kansei Engineering and Emotion Research.

Three different products for daily use were chosen: food (a milk carton), clothing (a T-shirt) and a personal hygiene product (a bottle of shampoo). For each product and aspect of sustainability, the labels were chosen among the best known. Choices had to be made around various perceptions: quality, price, sustainability, trust, willingness to pay and general choice (preference). \u0000 \u0000The results show that, for some questions, the choice of the preferred sustainability aspect depends on the product.

Twenty subjects are asked to answer the questions from least to most of information, and the time taken to answer them is measured. Following the experiment, the attributes of the subjects, including gender, age, occupation are obtained via a questionnaire. The experiment reveals that as information increases in the tabular format, the answering slows proportionally. In contrast, in the graph format, the responses do not slow down proportional to the increase in information. The relationship between the subjects’ attributes and the speed of answering is determined and some significant differences are found. Six patterns of relationship between the answering time for the tables and graphs are obtained. Subsequently, the relationship between these attributes and “change of flow from data to action (hereinafter called “the decision-making process”)” are examined in Kansei engineering, and the data visualization is found to be potentially effective at speeding up the decision-making process.","PeriodicalId":433529,"journal":{"name":"9th International Conference on Kansei Engineering and Emotion Research.

Various types of data have been used in healthcare studies; however, imaging data are superior because they allow quick and remote measurements. Thermal face images can be measured safely and economically using infrared thermography. Many physiological and psychological states have been evaluated based on the data from these images. A previous study, using short-term experiments, confirmed that an anomaly detection model constructed using a variational autoencoder enables the detection of anomalous states of thermal face images. A long-term experiment is essential to estimate long-term fluctuating human states, such as health conditions. The purpose of this study is to construct a facial skin temperature-based anomaly detection model for human health conditions. The authors obtained thermal face images with health condition questionnaires for approximately a year. Based on the questionnaire responses, the thermal images in good and poor health conditions were labeled “normal state” and “anomaly state,” respectively. The facial skin temperature-based anomaly detection model for health conditions was constructed using a variational autoencoder with only thermal face images in the normal state. The AUC, which represents anomaly detection performance, was 0.70. In addition, an increasing trend of the performance of the model by learning a wider area of skin temperature was confirmed.","PeriodicalId":433529,"journal":{"name":"9th International Conference on Kansei Engineering and Emotion Research.

Well-being encompasses positive emotions, life satisfaction, healthy functioning, meaning of life, and self-growth. In ancient times, sharing was an intimate behavior that consolidated communities and led to an ideal life, which refers to well-being in the present. Sharing economy sheds light on a novel business model in which people can develop their well-being while sharing resources/goods and services among strangers. However, prior research shows that users participate in the sharing economy because of self-interest rather than social interaction or sustainability. Sustainable well-being is important not only for us but also for our communities and our planet. This study investigates how the components of well-being can be built into a sharing economy and foster users to pursue it in the long-term. It reviews and synthesizes prior studies to (1) elucidate the components of well-being in the peer-to-peer (P2P) sharing economy, (2) model the sharing ecosystem with components of well-being from a global perspective, and (3) discuss the design solutions for a P2P sharing platform to facilitate well-being. Furthermore, it provides examples of practices to illustrate the proposed model. We believe this study not only motivates platformers to consider users’ well-being but also promotes sustainable functioning of the sharing ecosystem.","PeriodicalId":433529,"journal":{"name":"9th International Conference on Kansei Engineering and Emotion Research.
