A couple of weeks ago Steven Fokkinga received his PhD for his research onderzoek ‘Design -|+ Negative emotions for positive experiences’. With his Steven also launched the website Negative Emotion Typology. This tool for designers includes a rich and varied database about the nuances of negative emotions. The tool is an initiative of the
Delft Institute of Positive Design, part of the TU Delft. The research was part of
CRISP. How to use the tool.
