감성 평가를 위한 감성의 의미 재정립과 어휘 체계에 관한 연구

Abstract

'Emotional value' has been a buzz word for design and ergonomics in the era of business innovation. However, the complication of 'emotion' in terms of literal and practical meaning has made it a challenging but confusing task for designers to develop a new product with emotional value. 'Sensibility' and 'emotion' are interchangeable terms to describe human feeling ('gamsung' in Korean). The confusion reached at its peak with Korean terms. Even scholars in Korean language, psychologists, ergonomists, and designers are bewildered at the choice of proper expression for human feeling in both Korean and English. The difficulty could explain the problems in 'sensibility ergonomics' in Korea. The purpose of this paper is to provide both fundamental and satisfying information with people in the area of 'sensibility ergonomics'. Therefore, in this paper, a number of articles and books on sensibility, psychology, sensibility ergonomics, and design were reviewed to clarify the meaning of sensibility and relationship among similar words that have been used with unintentional misunderstanding. Also many adjectives on human sensibility were collected and complied for the use of sensibility evaluation.
