Abstract
A vocabulary of tactile perception is essential for the evaluation of the feel of materials. Different tactile vocabulary has been established by various industries, making the understanding and comparison of tactile perceptions challenging. In this study, we developed a universal tactile vocabulary applicable across various industries. Based on our participants' tactile evaluations of 32 materials, we compiled a vocabulary of 273 words, categorizing them into a perceptual hierarchy: sensory and affective. Additionally, we recorded and analyzed the word use frequencies, suitability, intensity, and similarities of the tactile evaluations. Finally, we selected 31 words that each accurately expresses a particular tactile perception and can be applied to materials and products in diverse industries. The vocabulary developed in this study is expected to be a useful aid in designing the tactile aspects of various products.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Sensory Studies publishes original research and review articles, as well as expository and tutorial papers focusing on observational and experimental studies that lead to development and application of sensory and consumer (including behavior) methods to products such as food and beverage, medical, agricultural, biological, pharmaceutical, cosmetics, or other materials; information such as marketing and consumer information; or improvement of services based on sensory methods. All papers should show some advancement of sensory science in terms of methods. The journal does NOT publish papers that focus primarily on the application of standard sensory techniques to experimental variations in products unless the authors can show a unique application of sensory in an unusual way or in a new product category where sensory methods usually have not been applied.
