Summary/Abstract: Every product that is designed for being liked and that bears aesthetical values is a social communication instrument that arouses pleasure on consumers by directly addressing to their senses. Blijlevens et al. made contribution to the body of literature by developing a scale that is reliable, validated and generalizable so that the aesthetic pleasure and the determinants of the aesthetic pleasure received from design products can be measured. The applicability of the scale were additionally tested in Austria, Netherlands and Taiwan by them. The scale comprises aesthetic pleasure (5 items) and typicality (6 items), extraordinary novelty (4 items), unity (4 items) and variety (4 items) aspects that are accepted to describe the determinants of aesthetic pleasure. By means of these aspects, it can be possible to respectively define both aesthetic pleasure and the determinants of aesthetic pleasure and to set forth the relationship between them.
