Abstract

Understanding of emotions and the appraisal patterns associated with emotions is vital in the fields such as user experience design, product design, advertising and fashion. People respond with different emotions to the same situation depending on how they interpret, or appraise the situation. It is important for a designer to understand the differentiation in emotions in order to design emotion-laden products. But assessment and mapping of emotions is always a tough task, because the topic itself is subjective and abstract. It is in this context that this paper presents an approach to differentiate emotions and to map emotions on the basis of the related appraisal patterns.
