Designers are always pursuing design with suitable emotions. Effective emotional fusion not only produces a good user experience but also extends the product lifecycle. The decoding of design emotion and the use of design emotion language should run through the entire design process. In this study, we propose a new emotion-embedded design flow…

This study investigated how emotional valence of a perceived emotional state impacted performance on the Reading the Mind in the Eyes task (RMET) in adolescents with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and typically developing (TD) controls. Valence of items on the RMET, Adult (RMET-A) and Child (RMET-C) versions, was first classified in a survey of…

Using Habermas's three human interests as a philosophical lens, a typology of emotion regulation was developed based on previous work. There are three theoretical perspectives on emotion regulation. The first perspective, "emotion regulation as steps," considers emotion regulation as an individual phenomenon and detachable entity. The…

In recent years, many studies have highlighted the need to go beyond the "one-size-fits-all" gamification approach to tailored or personalised gamification to optimise students' engagement based on their user attributes. However, little is known about its effectiveness on student engagement. To advance the understanding of personalized…

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is characterized by impairments in many functional areas requiring long-term interventions to promote autonomy. This study aims to map The Sensory Profile™ 2 (SP-2), one of the most widely used assessment tools in children with ASD, with the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health for…

The present research aims to identify the depth of reflection attained by primary school teachers through the Critical Incident Technique (CIT) according to the categorisation of Lee (2005) and specific factors that could determine a higher level of reflection. For the first research phase twenty teacher semi-structured interviews were conducted.…

The 0.05 boundary within Null Hypothesis Statistical Testing (NHST) "has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move" (to quote Douglas Adams). Here, we move past meta-scientific arguments and ask an empirical question: What is the psychological standing of the 0.05 boundary for statistical significance? We…

This study explores the relationship between the Spiral Dynamics and the 3H (head, heart, hands) models of human growth and development, using constructs such as empathy, moral reasoning, forgiveness, and community mindedness that have been shown to have implications for education. The specific research question is, "Can a combination of…

The study aimed to verify the psychometric properties of the emotional-style scale and explore different clusters of emotional styles.

To examine patriarchies across campus, I explored unmarked spaces on campus which are generic, white spaces; and racially marked spaces, such as the Black Student Center. To better understand how racist patriarchy and Black patriarchy shape Black…

Although the thesis is an integral part of the study programme, the way the guidance for this work is supervised can highly differ between supervisors. Writing the thesis is a complicated process requiring tailored guidance, that is often not feasible due to increasing numbers of students and need for efficiency. One possible solution is working…
