Special Issue on Psychology-Driven and Human-Centered Approaches to Interaction Design Research 

This special issue presents the latest research in interaction design, merging psychological principles with human-centered methodologies. Understanding the psychological impact of design choices is vital in our tech-driven world. Emphasizing the fusion of psychology and user-centric design enhances experiences and promotes inclusive, sustainable solutions. Emphasizing the fusion of psychology and user-centric design enhances experiences and promotes inclusive, sustainable solutions. Contributions challenging conventions and offering fresh perspectives on transdisciplinary research, practice, and education are encouraged. We seek to explore the synergy between human-computer interaction, cognitive science, engineering psychology, and design. Designs should be functional, visually appealing, and informed by human behavior insights.
