设计心理学在适老化产品设计中的应用原则
Research on the Application of Design Psychology in the Design of Products Suitable for Aging

现代信息技术不断发展，老年人对日新月异的事物较难理解，在生活中对新生事物的接受度也不高。社会不断发展，我们总是忘记去回头看看步履蹒跚的老年群体，他们在面对孤独和挫败时的无力感。因此本文以设计心理学为研究基础，探究适老化产品设计的应用，让老年人在使用产品的过程中不再有困惑和为难。首先对老年用户这一目标群体的生理特征以及心理特征进行深入分析，理解并认同老年人的生活方式和价值理念，在此基础上对设计心理学的基本概念进行阐述，再一次探究示能、意符、约束、映射、反馈、约束和概念模型这些重要概念在老年人产品设计领域的应用原则。总结设计心理学在适老化产品中应具备可视性、易通性、情感化的设计原则，以此为设计研究者提供研究思路，也为面向关注老年人需求的设计者提供新的设计实践方向。
With the continuous development of modern information technology, the elderly are more difficult to understand things that change with each passing day, and their acceptance of new things in life is not high. As society continues to evolve, we often forget to look back at the hobbled elderly, their sense of powerlessness in the face of loneliness and defeat. Therefore, this paper explores the application of age-appropriate product design on the basis of design psychology, letting the elderly in the process of using products no longer have confusion and embarrassment. Firstly, the physiological and psychological characteristics of the target group of elderly users are deeply analyzed, and the lifestyle and value concept of the elderly are understood and recognized. On this basis, the basic concepts of design psychology are elaborated, and the applica-tion principles of these important concepts such as indication, signifier, constraint, mapping, feedback, constraint and conceptual model in the field of product design for the elderly are explored again. This paper summarizes the design principles that design psychology should have visibility, accessibility and emotion in age-appropriate products, so as to provide research ideas for design researchers and new design practice directions for designers who pay attention to the needs of the elderly.
