抄録

Since wearable devices are attached to the body, the sense of fitness can be an important element. In this study,therefore, the affective quality of ear-related product was examined to quantify the structure of the process of affective quality. First, vocabularies related to the sense of fitness(the sensation when a person wears ear-related products) were collected and selected for the evaluation of affective quality of ear-related products. Second, factor analysis was conducted for these vocabularies. As a result, the hook part has four major affective vocabularies and the earplug part has three major affective vocabularies. Third, a causal relationship between the sense of fitness and affective quality variables was identified using structural equation modeling. The result showed that the design element that has the greatest impact on the fitness of the ear-related product is the earplug. Above all, a sense of comfort showed a significant impact on overall satisfaction. Through this study, we identify not only the main factors that affect the satisfaction from the sense of fitness but also product design elements that affect the sense of fitness were also identified.
