Abstract

Tableware is among the important necessities of daily life, and children's tableware is especially valued by the society. Under such social background, a study centered at users of children's tableware was conducted from four aspects, including health & safety, sensory experience, behavior guide, and emotional cognition. Children's tableware products were evaluated using the Q method to understand users' cognition of children's tableware products. The interviewees' views about children's tableware design in China can be divided into four types,and put forward different psychological needs for these four types, In the interviews, some interviewees suggested that the ergonomic and regional cultural differences shall all be considered during children's tableware design. Therefore, this study evaluates the design preferences of Chinese children tableware and validates the results of the paper based on the results.

식기는 사람들의 일상생활용품으로 매우 중요한 역할을 하며, 특히 유아용 식기는 사회적으로 더 큰 관심을 받고 있다. 본 연구는 유아용 식기의 사용자를 중심으로 사회적 배경과 결합하고 Q방법론을 적용하여 건강과 안전, 감각적 체험, 행위 유도, 정서적 인지의 네 가지 관점에서 유아용 식기 제품에 관한 평가와 연구를 진행하였다. 연구를 통해 중국 유아용 식기의 디자인에 관한 조사 대상자들의 수요를 네 가지 유형으로 나눌 수 있었다.이 외에도 인터뷰 과정에서 일부 조사 대상자들은 유아용 식기 디자인의 인체공학과 각 지역의 문화 차이도 주목해야 한다고 제기하였다. 따라서 본 연구는 중국 유아용 식기의 디자인 선호도를 평가하였고, 그 결과에 따라 본 연구의 타당성을 검증하였다.
