Therese Fessenden:在用户体验设计中,我们常常过分关注‘体验’本身,而忽略了‘用户’这一核心要素。设计决策不应仅仅依靠假设或直觉,而应基于扎实的研究和数据。过度依赖学术文献可能会导致我们错过一些重要的用户需求。 Alita Joyce:即使拥有丰富的经验和专业知识,我们也需要对设计假设进行严格的测试。用户行为往往出乎意料,因此我们需要通过实际测试来验证我们的假设。虽然了解心理学和人类行为有助于提高效率,但这并不能替代用户研究。启发式评估等方法可以作为辅助手段,但最终只有用户研究才能保证良好的设计。 我们应该避免‘我即用户’的错误,要意识到‘虚假共识效应’的存在,即人们倾向于认为他人与自己有相同的观点和行为。观察用户行为比依赖设计指南更重要,因为设计具有很强的上下文相关性,用户和他们的行为也在不断变化。在设计早期阶段,用户研究至关重要,因为设计者往往比用户更了解系统,这可能会导致设计偏离用户的实际需求。 在设计过程中,应该充分考虑用户的需求和反馈,并结合观察性研究进行综合分析。用户反馈虽然有价值,但需要谨慎对待,不能完全依赖用户的建议。设计者应该引导用户参与设计过程,避免设计变成‘由委员会设计’。设计质量取决于数据的准确性,用户比设计者更了解自身需求。设计者应该努力做到换位思考,并让用户参与到决策中。 Alita Joyce:研究者可能会不自觉地带有偏见,影响研究结果的客观性。多个不同背景的研究者可以减少研究偏见。即使意识到偏见的存在,也无法完全避免偏见的影响。了解自身知识的局限性,才能做出更客观的判断。持续反思自身知识的不足,才能不断改进研究方法。保持好奇心,不断学习,才能应对变化。经验丰富的专业人士应培养和指导新人,共同进步。

Alita Joyce discusses the importance of not relying solely on intuition or academic literature in UX design, emphasizing the need for actual user testing to validate assumptions and understand user behaviors.

Shownotes Transcript

Does having more experience in the UX industry enable you to make better design decisions by intuition? Does user research ever become a waste of time if some research already exists in academic papers? The answer, it seems, is not that simple. In this episode, UX Specialists Alita Joyce and Therese Fessenden discuss why, after all these years doing independent user research, you should still test your interfaces and research with your own customers.
