Abstract
Workplace stress caused by negative emotions is a common issue among office workers. This study focuses on emotional psychotherapeutic stress control methods using personal information devices, which promote mental well-being by enhancing self-awareness of emotions. A practical way to capture and analyse emotions is by using personal information devices with camera devices. However, automatically recording emotions through cameras can lead to user rejection. To overcome this challenge, this study aims to investigate how incorporating aesthetic interaction as a means of delivering positive emotional experiences can minimize user repulsion. For this study, three experimental stimuli representing three different aesthetic interaction were designed. The experiment involved three designers and ten participants. The findings revealed that aesthetic interaction plays a significant role in reducing user repulsion. Additionally, this research discusses the design implications derived from the study and suggests potential avenues for future research in this area.
