Abstract:

This method measures user’s subjective feelings, although users are often reluctant to disclose their inner feelings to researchers in order to avoid embarrassment (Wong, 2006). They cannot be easily used in parallel with the user task, only in very specific cases where mannequins and imaginaries are used for quick and short answers.
