The stimuli chosen for the interviews focused on three types
of household objects: kitchen products, hi-tech products and
household appliances. The category of hi-tech appliances (e.g.,
computer screens and computer mice) pertains to products
using digital technology, kitchen products (e.g., plates and other
tableware) to products used for serving food, and household
appliances (e.g., TVs, stereos, radios) to other products used in
the home. There are two reasons for selecting the above three
categories. The first is that hi-tech products are very commonly
used in the home environment. Secondly, household appliances
and kitchen products were mentioned most frequently by
interviewees in Csikszentmihalyi’s research on cherished
household possessions (Csikszentmihalyi & Rochberg-Halton,
1981). However, furniture items (e.g., chairs, tables, beds)
were ignored in this research because the pleasure evoked
from furniture sometimes relies more on physical, ergonomic
satisfaction, which is not the focus of this research.
