- An exploration of how creativity, functionality, and aesthetics are related in design (2021, background): “Design researchers generally agree that aesthetics refers to two concepts: the senses, particularly vision, represented by a product; and the specific cognitive reaction or response to a product (Crilly et al. 2004; Sonderegger and Sauer 2010).”
- Predicting users' first impressions of website aesthetics with a quantification of perceived visual complexity and colorfulness (2013, background): “It is now known that our initial aesthetic response to products—the spontaneous emotional reaction we have based on our visual preferences—heavily influences whether we later perceive those products as usable [31].”
- Facets of visual aesthetics (2010, background): “Single-item measures are commonly used to assess visual aesthetics (e.g., Hassenzahl, 2004; Sonderegger and Sauer, 2010; Tractinsky et al., 2000).”
- Blissfully ignorant: the effects of general privacy concerns, general institutional trust, and affect in the privacy calculus (2015, background): “Given prior research in ergonomics showing that aesthetically appealing screenshots have the potential to raise positive feelings in users (Sonderegger & Sauer, 2010; Sonderegger et al., 2012), we expected cute and appealing screenshots to be equally effective in our context.”
