FIGURE Veerawat Sirivesmas (25157268) Other environmental sciences not elsewhere classified human–computer interaction digital character imagery visual aesthetics emotional response engagement intention user experience <p dir="ltr">This study examines how <b>character imagery in digital environments</b> relates to users’ aesthetic perceptions, emotional responses, and intended engagement. Using questionnaire data from 300 adults aged 18–35, the study evaluates three dimensions: <b>perceived character aesthetics, emotional response, and stated engagement</b>. The findings indicate strong positive associations among these measures, with aesthetics related to both emotional response and engagement, and emotional response showing a strong relationship with engagement. The study provides an initial psychological framework for understanding character-centered digital experiences and highlights the need for future research examining how specific visual characteristics translate into actual interactive behavior.</p> 2026-10-01T16:07:29Z Image Figure 10.6084/m9.figshare.34046772.v1 https://figshare.com/articles/figure/FIGURE/34046772 CC BY 4.0
