Summary:This research introduces how to analyse verbal data to identify appraisals themes that trigger specific emotions in the person-object interaction. Appraisal themes are general descriptions that synthesize and reflect similar responses that a group of people experience in particular emotions. Two emotions: confidence and frustration, are used as case studies to identify their appraisal themes. The article presents the general process to obtain the data and details how to undertake the analysis. Identifying appraisal themes helps designers understand the emotional experience that people have with objects. It can also be the starting point to design for eliciting specific emotions.
