Outline of Final Research Achievements

The objective of this study is to clarify the physical condition of pleasure-unpleasure emotion and to design the material that induces “comfort”. In this study, to understand the physical feature of pleasure-unpleasure emotion by statistical analysis of the values of sensory evaluation and physical measurement. As a result, pleasure-unpleasure of tactile sensation of fluid strongly depends on discomfort components whereas that of solid largely depends on comfort components, not on discomfort components. In addition, uncomfortable tactile sensation of fluid is in proportion to some particular physical values, whereas comfortable tactile sensation of solid do not have proportional relation with any physical values but have the relation with maximal value.
