The relationships between cultural values and product emotional attachment

Kamali, Fatima (2020) The relationships between cultural values and product emotional attachment. PhD thesis, Queensland University of Technology.

Description

This research aims to provide a better understanding about the relationship between a user's cultural values and the emotional attachment they develop with products through a cross-cultural study on Australian and Iranian cultures. This research undertook two studies employing a mixed method approach comprising a quantitative study in the form of a survey and a qualitative study through in-depth semi-structured interviews. The outcomes were consolidated and analysed to inform the development of a framework to assist designers to increase sustainability by improving product attachment through encompassing a user's cultural attributes in their designs.
