“…The theoretical background of these effects can be deduced from socialization theory, social expectancy theory and fitness-related evolutionary theories like mate selection theory (Langlois et al, 2000). However, the concept of attractiveness has also been used in the case of objects/places (Chang, Lai, & Chang, 2007), interactive systems (Hartmann et al, 2007), organizational units (Lekwa, Rice, & Hibbing, 2007) and ideas/attitudes (Hsu, Ito, Schweikert, Matsuda, & Shimojo, 2011).…”

The purpose of this paper is to comprehend the causes and outcome of website attractiveness in the travel and tourism context. To address this, we proposed three constructs, namely website analytics, website agility and website resilience, and tried to explore the contribution of each of these constructs to website attractiveness. This study conceptualizes website attractiveness as a very significant component of a travel/tourism website especially from the customer point of view because a customer will continue using the services of particular travel site depending on how responsive the website services are to the needs of the customers. Based on insights from resource-based view theory, supply chain and marketing perspectives, antecedents and consequence of website attractiveness are identified. The partial least squares method was used for exploring the relationship of website attractiveness with proposed antecedents and consequence. Website analytics and website agility positively impacts website attractiveness. Further positive association was also found between website analytics and website agility along with website resilience. Lastly, website attractiveness was found to positively influence website revisit intention of visitors.

“…There are a number of concepts in the research literature that refer to the exterior properties of a product and the user's response to it, such as aesthetics, appearance, attractiveness and beauty (e.g., Hekkert et al, 2003;Chang et al, 2007;Hassenzahl, 2004). However, these concepts are not employed consistently across research communities and research fields.…”

An empirical study examined the impact of prototype fidelity on user behaviour, subjective user evaluation and emotion. The independent factors of prototype fidelity (paper prototype, computer prototype, fully operational appliance) and aesthetics of design (high vs. moderate) were varied in a betweensubjects design. The 60 participants of the experiment were asked to complete two typical tasks of mobile phone usage: sending a text message and suppressing a phone number. Both performance data and a number of subjective measures were recorded. The results suggested that task completion time may be overestimated when a computer prototype is being used. Furthermore, users appeared to compensate for deficiencies in aesthetic design by overrating the aesthetic qualities of reduced fidelity prototypes. Finally, user emotions were more positively affected by the operation of the more attractive mobile phone than by the less appealing one.

“…One of the main aspects of product design is function. Different perceptions of design elements in meeting functionality indicate the quality which is called 'appropriateness' (Chang et al, 2006(Chang et al, , 2007. In other words, appropriateness shows what types of design elements are perceived appropriate and consequently pleasant for a certain product by a majority of people (Baxter, 1995).…”
