Designing such toys remains challenging because limited research addresses how to structure their concepts and development. This thesis synthesizes stress-related theories, emotional design principles, and adult toy development, supported by case studies, to propose a systematic and scientific design approach. It categorizes stressful emotion relief toys into four types based on Norman’s emotional design framework and summarizes recurring strategies and design patterns.","Guidelines for Designing Stressful Emotion Relief Toys for Adults  \nby  \nJiaxuan Ma  \nA thesis submitted to the Graduate Faculty of Auburn University  \nin partial fulfillment of the  \nrequirements for the Degree of  \nMaster of Industrial Design  \nAuburn, Alabama  \nMay 5, 2019  \nKeywords: Stress relief, Toys design, Adults, Emotional design.  \nCopyright 2019 by Jiaxuan Ma  \nApproved by  \nTin-Man Lau, Graduate Chair, Professor of Industrial Design Christopher Arnold, Associate Professor of Industrial Design Jerrod Windham, Associate Professor of Industrial Design  \nAbstract  \nNowadays, the rapid development of society not only fulfill people’s material needs and allow them to focus more on their spiritual needs, but also stress people out. Stressful emotion relief toys are noticed by more and more people. But designing a stressful emotion relief toy can be a huge challenge for designers since there are few research and study on this field.  \nBy studying the stress related theories, emotional design, development of adult toy and several case studies, this thesis will establish a way of designing a stressful emotion relief toy systematically and scientifically. In this study, stressful emotion relief toys will be categorized into four types based on Norman’s emotional design principles. Also common strategies and design patterns used in case studies will be summarized. As a result, by applying the strategies that designers like and following the design principles, designer will be successful to design a functional stressful emotion relief toy.  \nAcknowledgments  \nI would like to thank my major Professor Tin Man Lau for always supporting, encouraging and urging me through the whole thesis writing process.
