Abstract

In recent years, there has been a significant amount
of literature on design, design thinking, and the design
process. Many researchers have conducted studies
to describe and explain the essence and mechanisms
of the design process, as well as the unique nature
of design thinking. However, this research aims to
systematically review the literature in the field of design
studies and related fields on the subject of negative
emotional experiences as perceived in these studies,
striving to present a comprehensive content and
theoretical framework for previous studies. The study
of this topic is significant due to its potential to enhance
our understanding of how designers' function during
the creative design process and the effects of these
emotions on them. This research serves as a foundation
for more precise analyses of these negative emotional
experiences, which can lead to the development of
effective and structured design approaches. n recent years, there has been a significant amount
