Abstract

This paper presents the major outcomes of a comparative survey on aesthetic boredom of Mobile Phone (MP) in the contexts of Japanese and Iranian university students that is the second phase of a research experimentally founded on an inverse approach to product aesthetic durability, the particular indication of product aesthetic sustainability. Based on the results of first phase of research shown in the last paper, MP and the youth are decided as the object and subject age range for the research fieldwork on product aesthetic boredom, the opposite of product aesthetic durability. In this survey, the required data are gathered through the definite questionnaire to investigate the users' actual experiences of MP aesthetic boredom. The survey aims to extract, itemize and classify the causal elements and factors of product aesthetic boredom in terms of using MP in Japan and Iran to finally compare it between two countries' contexts.
