Abstract

Today, there are many different options for the same product on the market. Users are becoming more and more demanding in their purchases and not only pay attention to the level of satisfaction provided and the functional quality, but there is also an emotional perception that is permeating the customer’s decisions. As a result, designers and manufacturers are increasingly concerned about the perceived qualities of their products. Kansei engineering and emotional design are responsible for translating the emotions that a product or service is intended to elicit in the user into product parameters, thus improving quality and customer satisfaction. This systematic literature review (SLR) analyzes different methodologies based on emotional design and to which products they have been successfully applied. Subsequently, it identifies the differential characteristics of each one, the advantages and disadvantages, and which methodology is the best for a specific type of product.
