摘要

There is a special group as a product of the times constantly expanding: OPHY. One-person Households who is Young (OPHY), aging between 20 and 35 years old. Combined with the characteristics of the OPHY group, this paper introduces a concept based on multi-dimensional user experience: social experience. This paper will focus on the OPHY, through three methods of design research, with the concept of 'social experience', analyze the deeper characteristics and needs of this group, seeking design directions and concepts that can help these strugglers enhance their interaction with society and improve their social experience. Through research, this paper finds that the living status of OPHY have a great correlation with their salary level, social status, personal mentality and gender. However, no matter what kind of typical participants, the status of living alone would indeed reduce their social interaction, even if they have a strong social tendency. On the one hand, designers should combine the OPH Y's characteristics to make change, through product design and interior design. On the other hand, designers should insist on enhancing the attractiveness of the outside world to help OPHY get out of their house, through service design, architecture design and environmental design. Based on the existing research, this paper has carried out a more detailed subdivision of the OPHY group. At the same time, this paper improves the user research methods in design, and innovatively applies them on sociological problems.
