摘要
本研究以感性工學理論為基礎，透過使用者感官實驗進行評價，深入訪談與分析，探討不同人格特質之高齡族群，對於機能性鞋款的使用性感受，研究流程分為五個階段：（1）篩選鞋款樣本；（2）拆解樣本設計要素；（3）高齡者DISC人格實驗；（4）感官評價實驗；（5）喜好度實驗。研究結果顯示，支配型與分析型人格著重機能鞋的方便感；影響型人格著重精美和舒適感；穩健型人格無顯著之感覺意象；感覺對應的鞋設計元素，在鞋身材質方面，支配型、穩健型與分析型之高齡者皆喜好絨布，鞋墊材質方面，多數高齡者偏好網布鞋墊，鞋身顏色方面，多數高齡者偏好黑色，僅穩健型的高齡者喜好偏向高貴感的紅色，研究結果期能幫助設計師或業者，設計生產出符合不同高齡者族群生心理需求之產品。

This research was based on Kansei engineering theory and evaluated through user sensory experiments. In-depth interviews and analysis were conducted to explore the perceptions of seniors with different personality traits towards functional shoes. The research process was divided into five stages: (1) Screening samples of shoes; (2) Dismantling sample design; (3) DISC personality experiment for the elderly; (4) Sensory evaluation experiment; (5) Preference experiment. The results showed that the dominant and conscientious personalities emphasize the convenience of functional shoes; Influential personalities emphasize exquisite and comfort; Stable personalities have no significant sensory imagery. About the design elements of shoes corresponding in feelings, in terms of vamp materials, the elders of Dominants, Influcens, and Conscientiousness all prefer flannel. In terms of insole materials, most elders prefer mesh insoles. In terms of colors, most prefer black, while only Steadiness prefer noble red. The results are expected to help designers and manufacturers to design and produce products that meet the physiological and psychological needs of different elderly.
