Developing an Emotional Interaction Design for Social Anxiety Disorders (SAD)

Abstract

This study focuses on using books in libraries as an interactive medium, aiming to help individuals with social anxiety disorder alleviate their anxiety and establish positive social experiences. The research background and literature review explore the relationship between social anxiety disorder and books, utilizing narrative frameworks and mirroring psychotherapy techniques to design an experience related to books, book reviews, and social experiences. Through case studies, needs exploration, scenario mapping systems, and interactive process design, we provide an innovative approach for individuals with social anxiety disorder who desire socialization, allowing them to find like-minded partners and engage in social interactions with reduced anxiety interference. Finally, this study summarizes system design, interface design, and user testing and evaluation.
