Supplementary Data of the Thesis: 'Product lifetime extension through design: Encouraging consumers to repair electronic products in a circular economy'

Data files on which the studies presented in chapters 3-6 of the Ph.D. thesis of Renske van den Berge are based. The main objective of the thesis was to explore how design can prevent premature obsolescence by encouraging consumers to prolong the lifetimes of electronic products via repair. Chapter 3 was based on a qualitative interview study among Dutch consumers, for which the written interview transcripts are provided. Chapters 4, 5, and 6 were quantitative experimental studies with consumers, for which the means of the used variables are provided in spreadsheets.

该数据集为伦斯克·范登伯格（Renske van den Berge）博士学位论文第3至6章所呈现的各项研究所依托的数据文件。本论文的核心研究目标为探究：产品设计可通过何种路径鼓励消费者通过维修延长电子产品的使用寿命，进而规避电子产品的过早淘汰问题。第3章基于一项针对荷兰消费者的质性访谈研究（qualitative interview study），本次研究生成的书面访谈笔录已随数据集一并提供。第4、5、6章为针对消费者开展的量化实验研究（quantitative experimental study），本次研究所用各变量的均值已整理至电子表格（spreadsheets）中并随数据集提供。
