本課程主要針對產品設計者、使用者或消費者為核心，探討工業產品與人類心理之間的互動研究議題及實證方法。學習本課程能從研究議題建立、理論建構、研究設計、研究方法與研究評價中奠定良好的研究基礎，同時增進對人類心理與行為的瞭解，提升產品設計的策略應用。This course mainly focuses on product designers, users or consumers, exploring the interactive research issues and empirical methods between industrial products and human psychology. Studying this course can lay a good research foundation from the establishment of research topics, theoretical construction, research design, research methods and research evaluation, while also enhancing the understanding of human psychology and behavior, and improving the strategic application of product design.
工業設計領域開始對環境產生關心乃是源自於對「人-機/物-環」三者相互關係之反省與檢討。以工業設計的「人-機/物-環」概念檢視「環境」的意義可得知，支持我們一切生活所需的並非單單只有自然環境中的諸多要件，從許多日常生活情境可察覺，我們是在自然環境條件的基礎上，再透過各種「人造」環境建構以支持人們進行各式各樣的活動，並滿足其各方面的需求。
因此，本課程所指稱的「環境」乃是將其定義為「環繞在我們身體周遭的一切狀況」，而我們的生活就是存在於一種人與人的相互關係所形成的「心理環境（軟體）」與人造物件或空間所形成的「物理環境（硬體）」兩者共同建構之總體環境中。人是社會性的動物，每個人都與其周遭環境關係密不可分。而人所創造出來的物件或空間，不只是為了滿足人們身體機能的需求或生理上的舒適性，其亦會刺激人們的情緒感覺，對人們的心理活動產生影響，而人與環境的相互關係甚至會改變物件或空間創造的樣貌。
本課程將以環境心理學專書與相關文獻的集體閱讀為主軸，透過文獻閱讀與共同討論的過程，建立對環境心理學知識系譜的基礎理解。另外，透過環境行為觀察等實際案例研究與分析，使環境心理學的學術理論能與生活環境現況進行對話。本課程不僅學習如何從「環境心理學」觀點考察「人-機/物-環」三者之相互關係，亦希望透過社會、文化等相關面向的綜合討論，探討人們如何在與環境互動中獲得生理與心理的「舒適感」，以做為未來進行產品物件或空間環境設計時之概念思考與論述基礎。
The industrial design field began to care about the environment due to the introspection and review of the interrelationship between "man-machine/thing-environment". Examining the meaning of "environment" based on the concept of "man-machine/thing-environment" of industrial design, we can see that what supports all our daily needs is not just the many elements in the natural environment. It can be seen from many daily life situations that we On the basis of natural environmental conditions, various "artificial" environmental structures are used to support people in carrying out various activities and meet their various needs.
Therefore, the "environment" referred to in this course is defined as "all the conditions surrounding our bodies", and our lives exist in a "psychological environment (software) formed by the mutual relationships between people" ” and the “physical environment (hardware)” formed by man-made objects or spaces are jointly constructed in the overall environment. Humans are social animals, and everyone is inseparable from their surrounding environment. The objects or spaces created by people are not only to meet people's physical functional needs or physiological comfort, they also stimulate people's emotional feelings and have an impact on people's psychological activities. The relationship between people and the environment It can even change the appearance of an object or space creation.
This course will focus on collective reading of environmental psychology books and related literature. Through the process of literature reading and joint discussion, a basic understanding of the knowledge genealogy of environmental psychology will be established. In addition, through actual case studies and analysis such as environmental behavior observation, the academic theory of environmental psychology can have a dialogue with the current situation of the living environment. This course not only learns how to examine the interrelationship between "human-machine/thing-environment" from the perspective of "environmental psychology", but also hopes to explore how people gain from interacting with the environment through comprehensive discussions on society, culture and other related aspects. Physiological and psychological "comfort" can serve as the basis for conceptual thinking and discussion when designing product objects or space environments in the future.
