Emotions impact how individuals engage with a design from "summary" of Design for How People Think by John Whalen Ph.D.

Emotions play a crucial role in how individuals interact with a design. When people engage with a product or service, their emotions can greatly influence their overall experience. Positive emotions, such as joy or excitement, can lead to a more enjoyable and satisfying interaction, while negative emotions, like frustration or confusion, can result in a negative user experience. Designers must be mindful of how different emotions can impact user engagement. By understanding the emotional responses that a design elicits, designers can create more effective and user-friendly experiences. For example, incorporating elements that evoke feelings of happiness or delight can help to create a positive emotional response and encourage users to engage with the design more fully. Conversely, designs that evoke negative emotions, such as anger or disappointment, can drive users away and result in decreased engagement. It is essential for designers to consider the emotional impact of their designs throughout the entire design process. By prioritizing the emotional experience of users, designers can create more engaging and successful designs. In order to create designs that resonate with users on an emotional level, designers must first understand the emotions that their target audience is likely to experience. By conducting research and gathering insights into the emotional needs and preferences of users, designers can tailor their designs to better meet these needs.
