San Jose State University

The practice of studying user interactions and their experiences to design human-centered products that address their needs through quantitative and/or qualitative research with either an attitudinal and/or behavioral approach. UX Research reveals valuable information for the product at any point in an iterative design process.

User experience (UX) research

User Experience (UX) Research References

UX research methods can be used to generate insights about users’ behaviors, motivations, attitudes, and needs. You can use different UX research methods to assess pain points and highlight opportunities to improve the user experience of a product.

UX Research Methods

A High Level Map that communicates current, next, and future work for a team to solve a problem or improve/create a product.  It is designed to assist a team’s ability to establish and perform the necessary steps of achieving a particular goal.  It is meant to be a guiding document rather than a strict schedule; a centralized resource that all team members can access.

UX Roadmap: Definition and Components

Other Disciplines Related to UX 

The social psychology discipline has intensively studied how situations impact human states including the study of attitude and behavioral consistency, which are the common variables that UX researchers study. Overall, understanding and applying social psychology theories would help UX researchers and designers create products for specific situations and human states. 

Social Psychology and UX Research 


Cognitive psychology helps designers to overcome psychological barriers and create products that are more intuitive for the products to be more readable, accessible, easy to navigate and allowing for users to use products more intuitively. 

UX Research and Cognitive Psychology

User Research can be done at any point during a project or design project as ongoing research activities can provide valuable information and insight that can always help improve a project, and come in multiple varieties.
