Selecting the most suitable questionnaire(s) in comfort research for product design is always a challenge, even for experienced researchers.
The objective of this research is to create a list of Preferred Comfort Questionnaires (PCQ) for product design to help researchers in the selection of questionnaires for comfort research.
Fifteen questionnaires that are often used in comfort research for product design were selected as candidate questionnaires. During the Second International Comfort Congress (ICC 2019), 55 researchers and practitioners working in the field of comfort joined together in a workshop to rate these questionnaires individually as well as rank them in groups based on their experience. The criteria of rating and ranking included easiness to answer, easiness for data interpretation, time needed to complete, the need for prior training, as well as mapping the applicable design phases and field of application.
The elicited responses related to each questionnaire were analyzed. For comfort research in five proposed application fields and four design phases, the preferred questionnaires were highlighted and categorized into four categories: preferred questionnaire, suitable for less prior training, suitable for fast completion and generally applicable, which led to a list of PCQ for product design.
We expect that the PCQ list can be used as a useful instrument to help researchers in selecting questionnaires for comfort research in product design.
即使对于经验丰富的研究人员来说，在舒适性研究中选择最合适的问卷也始终是一项挑战。
本研究旨在创建一份产品设计舒适性研究用首选舒适度问卷（PCQ）列表，以帮助研究人员选择舒适度研究问卷。
选择了十五份常用于产品设计舒适性研究的问卷作为候选问卷。在第二届国际舒适大会（ICC 2019）期间，55 名从事舒适性研究的研究人员和从业者在一个研讨会上共同合作，根据他们的经验对这些问卷进行单独评分，并对其进行分组排名。评分和排名的标准包括回答的难易程度、数据解释的难易程度、完成所需的时间、是否需要事先培训，以及适用于设计阶段和应用领域的映射。
分析了与每个问卷相关的应答。对于五个提出的应用领域和四个设计阶段的舒适性研究，突出了首选问卷，并将其分为四类：首选问卷、适合较少事先培训、适合快速完成和普遍适用，从而生成了一份产品设计用 PCQ 列表。
我们希望该 PCQ 列表可用作有用的工具，帮助研究人员在产品设计舒适性研究中选择问卷。
