Userfied content of The Four Types of Pleasure, per Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Four Types of Pleasure
'''The Four Types of Pleasure''' is a framework to classify pleasure devised by [[Canadian]] [[anthropologist]] [[Lionel Tiger]]. Tiger identified four distinct types of pleasure; physical, social, psychological and ideological. This framework has been used in product and user-interface design.<ref>[http://openlearn.open.ac.uk/mod/resource/view.php?id=159825 Open University] URL accessed 28 January, 2008</ref> ==The four types of pleasure== ===Physical=== Physical pleasure is derived from the sensory organs, examples might include the tactile feel of a phone handset or a [[New car smell|new car smell]]. ===Social=== Social pleasure comes from the social interaction that a product causes or stimulates, like chat around a [[Water cooler|water cooler]] or comments attracted by new jewellery or a new device. ===Psychological=== Psychological pleasure is generated by cognitive and emotional reactions. An example might be software that enables the user to accomplish tasks more simply or more accurately than previously. ===Ideological=== Ideological pleasure pertains to people's values. Products that are manufactured using environmentally-friendly processes would give pleasure to a user whose ideology placed a high value on ideological issues. ==Further reading== Frascara, Jorge: "Design and the Social Sciences: Making Connections".
