Abstract

From the perspective of compositional experience, we want to achieve harmonious relationships between people, products, and services in our environment. In order to achieve a harmonious relationship between any one of those items and within each category, the right level of relational cohesiveness is necessary. Relational cohesiveness is an important dimension that affects the compositional thread of experience with respect to changes in the environment. If so, which levers control cohesiveness? Which UX factors are important for achieving a harmonious experience? What types of design features help us to have harmonious experiences with products or services?
