- 1. 1 Design for Well-being: Typology of Thirteen Fundamental Need for Human-Centered Design 为了幸福感而设计 Design Aesthetics-week 8.1 Meng Li (李萌) Desmet, P., & Fokkinga, S. (2020). Beyond Maslow’s Pyramid: Introducing a Typology of Thirteen Fundamental Needs for Human-Centered Design. Multimodal Technologies and Interaction, 4(3), 38.
- 2. 2 “Much recent design has satisfied only evanescent wants and desires, while the genuine needs of man have often been neglected. The economic, psychological, spiritual, social, technological, and intellectual needs of a human being are usually more difficult and less profitable to satisfy than the carefully engineered and manipulated “wants” inculcated by fad and fashion” ----Victor Papanek, 1971, Design for the Real World: Human Ecology and Social Change www.atomike-studio.com/
- 3. 3 What are human needs? --人的需要 “Human needs specify innate psychological nutriments（营养） that are essential for ongoing psychological growth, integrity, and well-being” （ Deci and Ryan, 2000 ） – Needs are the fundament of our motivation system, and all human activity is essentially fueled by the aspiration (意 愿) of need fulfilment (Ford and Ford, 2013) – Individuals can only fully develop if all their basic needs are satisfied, and none can be neglected without significant negative consequences (Tay and Diener, 2011)
- 4. 4 Importance of human needs-需要的重要性 • A positive relationship was found between need fulfilment and enjoyable experiences with artefacts (Hassenzahl et al., 2010) • Human needs provide a solid fundament for positive experience • A direct relationship was found between the emotion and the degree to which these products enable that person to satisfy his/her needs (Desmat, 2012) Further reading: Desmet, P. M. (2012). Faces of product pleasure: 25 positive emotions in human- product interactions. International Journal of design, 6(2).
- 5. 5 Maslow’s Motivational Theory- understanding positive behaviour 1) Human behavior is motivated. Behavior cannot be explained as mere reactions to external events and conditions. 2) A person's motivation is driven by their needs. Individuals strive to fulfil their needs and to avoid need dissatisfaction. 3) A broad diversity of behavior can be explained with a relatively small set of fundamental needs. 4) Fundamental needs are inborn and universal; they apply to all humans across ages and cultures. 5) For a human to survive, function, and flourish, all needs should be fulfilled, at least to some degree. 6) Only needs that are not yet satisfied motivate behavior; when a need is satisfied, it ceases to be a motivator. 7) Needs are organized in a hierarchy, addressed in an order, from basic to complex. 8) When a lower-order need is gratified, this will prompt the activation of a next-level need. Next-level needs remain dormant until lower-order needs are satisfied.

- 7. 7 Rethink about the Hierarchy of Needs-重新审 视需求层次 • Contribution 1: Human Needs are Universal • Contribution 2: Fulfilling Fundamental Needs Contribute to Well-Being – Propositions 1 to 5 have withstood the test of time. • Limitation 1: Hierarchal Order • Key Limitation 2: The Problem with Self-Actualization – Propositions 6 to 8 have proven faulty. • In general, Maslow’s motivational theory is limited due to its heavy focus on the individual.

- 13. 13 Reflections on 13 fundamental needs • The typology reduces the infinite complexity of the human biological, psychological, and sociocultural systems. • The salience of needs change throughout the life-span (Rudolph, 2016). • An individual’s repertoire of goals, values, drives and other motivations are influenced rather than determined by their fundamental needs (Brandtstädter, 1998). • This reductionist theory represents but a corner of the space of opportunities to design for meaning contributions to the dynamic, and ever-evolving holistic reality of any human being. • A person’s subject well-being is not only determined by the extent to which their individual needs are fulfilled, but also by the extent to which the needs of other people and society are fulfilled (Tay and Diener, 2011) • The value of balanced needs: all fundamental needs ought to be satisfied to a certain degree. Each need contributes distinctly to a person’s well-being and cannot be substituted by another need.
- 14. 14 Fundamental needs to design • “If designers do not know which fundamental needs their design satisfies, they probably need to redesign it.” ----Marc Hassenzahl
- 15. 15 A list of fundamental needs and 52 sub-needs
- 16. 16 Five criteria for fundamental psychological needs Baumeister and Leary, 1995 A need is fundamental when it… 1) is universal, that is, it applies to all people, transcending cultural boundaries; 2) Is not derived from another need; 3) Lead to (physical or mental) well-being (that goes beyond momentary pleasure) when fulfilled, and to pathology (medical, psychological, or behaviour) when unsatisfied; 4) Motivates behaviour in a wide variety of situations (not only in specific circumstances); 5) Affects a wide and diverse assortment of behaviours
