Product constructs : Investigating differences between human factors specialists, industrial designers and engineers

• In the product development work, differences in language, education and cultural thought worlds influence actors’ view of the product. Drawing on personal construct psychology, this paper investigates differences in how triads of products are distinguished from each other to reveal the usage of constructs depending on disciplinary belonging. The study identifies some differences in the use of constructs between human factors specialists, industrial designers and engineers.
