Day 49: Integrating Research into the Design Process

I learned about the questions foundational research answers, the qualities of a UX researcher, research methods, what a bias is, and the kinds of it.

Foundational research answers the questions:

  1. What should we build?

  2. What are the user's problems?

  3. How can we solve them?

UX researcher qualities

  1. Empathy is understanding someone else's feelings or thoughts in a situation.

  2. Pragmatism is focused on reaching goals.

  3. Collaboration can work with a range of people, personalities, and work styles

This means favoring or having a prejudice against something based on limited information.

Kinds of biases

  1. Confirmation bias

  2. False consensus bias

  3. Primary bias

  4. Recency bias

  5. Implicit bias
