Emotions and Emotions in Design

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Emotional Design in Human-Robot Interaction

Part of the book series: Human–Computer Interaction Series ((HCIS))

Abstract

This chapter discusses and clarifies the concepts and definitions of emotion, feeling, and mood. Although they refer to distinct phenomena, these concepts are normally used indiscriminately when someone refers to emotions. This is followed by a brief review of the literature on the main theories applied to the study of emotions. This reference to the study of emotions will serve as the basis for the introduction and exploration of the concept, purpose, and application of Emotional Design.
