Reflections on the previous interview, new interview and new feedback

| 0 comments

I found that my previous interview had little effect on my project, so I reflected on the content of my interview, and I found that I had two problems recently:

  1. I rely too much on letting everyone talk directly about their problems or their needs, and I lack the analysis of feedback.
  2. I try to presuppose the problems people encounter and the development direction of future projects.

Based on these two points, I canceled the third question in the previous interview because I am presupposing or guiding everyone’s thinking direction on this question. After that, I interviewed 8 home-based creative workers about the stressors of home-based work and whether they had any reflections and tried to combine the previously read “Consumer Society” and “One-dimensional Man” to conduct a better critical analysis.

  1. I find that most people lack thinking about work stress because people believe that a lot of stress caused by the society rule (or potential rule) and history cannot be changed, so thinking is useless.
  2. People generally know how to relax, but they will lose the ability to calm down and think and will negatively deny themselves when under stress and anxiety.
  3. Some people will think more after being stimulated by the outside world. Many people’s losing stress way depends on outside world’s change and other’s help rather than from their own perspective.

This reflects a lot of interesting issues. First of all, people need more time and space to think, but now the technological advancement in society (views from one-dimensional man) is constantly reducing people’s time to think, working from home also reduces the possibility of people’s space or environment to think (such as the way to work, the company’s lunch break, etc.), so the gaps created by the relaxing board( unit2’s intervention) will emphasize thinking more in unit3.

Secondly, for people over-relying on the outside world to solve their stress, I can refer more to “Nudge” to find a balance between free and control. Here I am not simply helping people think about how to relax; it is to help to think about why they need to think.
