29 & 30 June 2023 · On site workshop with Martina Mitz

UX Psychology

The workshop
29 June, 14:00 - 18:00 (Thursday)
30 June, 9:30 - 18:00 (Friday)

In this workshop, you will first acquire a sound fundament of psychological knowledge, as well as its relevance for the field of User Experience (UX). Then, on the next day, we will apply this understanding of humans in the real world, following a UX-process.
The challenges
The first day is in the form of a 4h-lecture, in which you will learn all the important bits and pieces from Psychology and Psychotherapy. We will start with brains and neurones and work our way up to the different psychological approaches and applications. Examples from psychological research will help us deepen our understanding of humans along the way. In the final part, we will systematically look at the relevancy of all this knowledge for each stage of the UX-process. This, together with a good night's sleep will prepare our brains for the next day.

The second day is a full hands-on workshop in which you will work individually and in a small team. In a guided setting, we will develop products or services for the examined context. We will go through the process systematically, starting with explorative research at the beginning and finishing with an initial, early prototype. To wrap it up, we will discuss how you could go about testing the prototype(s). We'll also have enough time for all the questions at the end.

Target audience
The workshop doesn't require any preliminary knowledge about UX or Psychology, as it builds a common knowledge-fundament from the very beginning. Therefore it is suitable for everyone involved in the early stages of Product/Feature Development, as well as anyone interested in human behaviour and design.
