“…Kandzhikova et al [5] based on a study among 28 experts and consumers, the properties that affect the quality of the towel fabric were evaluated subjectively. Ikiz et al [13] examined the subjective evaluation of 10 towel samples made of different fiber content visually and tactically. Although Turkish towel users do not know the fiber content, It has been observed that they prefer towels made of synthetic yarns more than 100% cotton, but if they know the fiber content, they prefer 100% cotton by far.…”

“…Subjective evaluation is used in many sectors to determine the preferences of consumers. The perception of touch properties of a textile product is significant for consumer choice, in this way, consumers can have a vision that cannot be handily found with the vision sense [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13]. In the simplest terms, it is difficult to perceive with the eye, however, touch properties such as softness, toughness, density, driftiness, smoothness, roughness, weight, thickness, etc., which can be interpreted when touched, have a very important place in the preferences of consumers [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][14][15][16][17].…”

“…The work by Kim and Na 21 showed that the bending property and shearing property of a fabric toward a men's suit affect the tactile preference.

Despite the recent boom in tourism in China, there is a severe lack of research into the psychological capacity and emotional perception of tourists in national-level scenic spots. Taking Changzhou Chunqiu Yancheng scenic spot as an example, this paper visually assesses the psychological capacity of tourists in national-level scenic spots and identifies its influencing factors. The author conducted a questionnaire survey on the scenic spot, and performed regression analysis on the survey data. The results show that the psychological acceptance of tourists decreases monotonically with the growing number of tourists in the scenic spot; the tourists' perception of psychological emotions plunged, as the number of tourists on visual assessment photo increased from 30 to 50; the scenic spot should intervene if the psychological acceptance dropped to or below level 4; tourism motivation has a significant influence on the psychological capacity of tourists. The research findings provide a reference for the management of tourists' psychological capacity in national-level scenic spots.
