Meaning-making

意义建构,指人们诠释、赋予并整合经验、数据或事件到自我与世界更宏观理解中的过程;是个人信息学、反思设计与 CSCW 中的核心概念。

English Definition

"The process by which people interpret, assign significance to, and integrate experiences, data, or events into their broader understanding of self and world; a central concept in personal informatics, reflective design, and CSCW."

用法说明 · 针对中文母语者

在 HCI/PI 文献中常与 reflection、sense-making 并用。区别于一般动词短语 'making meaning'——这里指有理论支撑的研究对象/设计目标。

常见错误

  • ·当作一般动词短语 'make meaning' 而忽略其作为研究概念的地位
  • ·与 'narrative' 或 'storytelling' 混用
