Design of an Anti-domestic Violence Product Based on Emotion Regulation

Abstract

Domestic violence, as an act of serious violation of human rights, has indeed the very potential to render familial harmony as well as social stability in peril. Taking the current situation of domestic violence against women into consideration, this paper offers not only a comprehensive study on the users from the perspectives of their characteristics, requirements and relevant usage scenarios, but also a comparison of the existing products against domestic violence. On such basis, this paper attempts to put forward a design of anti-domestic violence product through the means of regulating emotions. Secondly, based on the detailed research of environmental psychology and the related theories of emotion regulation, three cost-effective emotion influencing elements are applied to the very design of a mood-soothing lamp which functions to prevent domestic violence from the perspective of the perpetrators.
