The process of design involves rich emotional experiences from resolving team conflict to breaking impasses to discovering creative insight. To explore emotion in designing we present a mixed-method study of experienced designers. Situated emotion is assessed by triangulating speech acoustics, electrodermal activity, and semantics with contextual inquiry of video data and retrospective self-reporting. We show the value of triangulating multimodal data in dealing with discrepancies amongst different measures. We present results to show how situated emotion mediates design work using multi-level model analysis. To conclude, we discuss how emotion relates to design ability and the role of emotion in designing. Finally, we reflect on the methodological approach we have taken and indicate directions for future emotion research in the process of design.

设计过程涉及丰富的情感体验，从解决团队冲突到打破僵局，再到发现创造性洞察力。为了探索设计中的情感，我们对有经验的设计师进行了一项混合方法研究。通过对语音数据、皮肤电活动和语义进行三角测量，以及视频数据的上下文查询和回顾性自我报告来评估情境情绪。我们展示了三角测量多模态数据在处理不同度量之间的差异方面的价值。我们展示了结果，以展示情境情感如何使用多级模型分析来调节设计工作。最后，我们讨论了情感与设计能力的关系以及情感在设计中的作用。最后，我们反思了我们所采取的方法论方法，并为设计过程中未来的情感研究指明了方向。
