Temporal Evaluation of Aesthetics of User Interfaces as one Component of User Experience

Vogel, M.

    User experience (UX) is gaining more and more relevance for designing interactive systems. But the real character, drivers and influences of UX are not sufficiently described until now. There are different theoretical models trying to explain UX in more detail, but there are still essential definitions missing regarding influencing factors i.e. temporal aspects. UX is increasingly seen as a dynamic phenomenon, that can be subdivided in different phases (Pohlmeyer, 2011; Karapanos, Zimmerman, Forlizzi, & Martens, 2009, ISO 9241-210). Trying to gain more knowledge about temporal changes in UX, an experiment was conducted examining the influence of exposure on the evaluation of aesthetics as one hedonic component of UX. A pre-use situation was focused including an anticipated experience of the user and no interaction was accomplished. It could be found that a repeated mere-exposure (Zajonc, 1969) does significantly influence the evaluation of aesthetics over time.
