As mainstream psychology was never intended for the HCI
practitioner, this second edition of A Psychology of User
Experience takes the opportunity to create a new chapter
specifically written for practitioners, that is, UX-oriented
psychology rather than the all-too familiar everyday variety. For
example, we discuss our two modes of cognition (fast / slow or
controlled / automatic); we underline the importance of
familiarity; and how and why we check our phones every few seconds
day or night. We also establish the ‘context for user
experience’ noting that just about everyone uses a cell phone and
very many own a smartphone too and have done so for years (so, how
did they learn to use them?). User experience reflects the
current vogue for “designing for experience” within HCI which
we recognise as something we feel rather than have reasoned about.
In the real world, our feelings tell us how we are doing but with
UX, they tell us how we feel about using digital technology. Topics
are introduced to UX which maybe unfamiliar such as virtual
experiences and virtual emotions and the affect associated with the
uncontrolled use of digital technology. A Psychology of User
Experience stands as a companion text to the
author’s HCI Redux text which discusses the
contemporary treatment of cognition in human-computer interaction.
