- More about A Psychology of User Experience: Involvement, Affect and Aesthetics
The second edition of A Psychology of User Experience is written for practitioners, focusing on UX-oriented psychology and discussing topics such as cognition, familiarity, and phone usage. It reflects the current vogue for "designing for experience" in HCI and introduces unfamiliar topics such as virtual experiences and emotions.

The second edition of A Psychology of User Experience takes advantage of the fact that mainstream psychology was never designed with HCI practitioners in mind. This edition creates a new chapter specifically tailored for practitioners, focusing on UX-oriented psychology rather than the more familiar everyday variety. Within this chapter, we delve into various topics relevant to UX, such as our two modes of cognition (fast/slow or controlled/automatic), the significance of familiarity, and the habitual checking of our phones, day or night. We also establish the context for user experience, acknowledging that cell phones and smartphones have become ubiquitous, with many people having years of experience using them.
User experience (UX) is closely tied to the current trend of "designing for experience" within the field of HCI, which we recognize as a feeling rather than a reasoned approach. In the real world, our feelings provide us with insights into our performance, but in the realm of UX, they reveal how we feel about using digital technology. The book introduces concepts that may be unfamiliar to practitioners, such as virtual experiences and virtual emotions, as well as the impact of uncontrolled use of digital technology.
A Psychology of User Experience serves as a companion text to the authors' HCI Redux text, which explores the contemporary treatment of cognition in human-computer interaction. By combining these two texts, readers gain a comprehensive understanding of the psychological aspects of UX and how they can be applied to design and enhance digital experiences for users.
