User experience with public products needs special attention considering the
specific context. Different from other consumer or personal products that users
own, public products do not belong to the user / they are shared with and used in
front of other people. Thus, different concerns and problems are incorporated
affecting the user experiences. This thesis dwells on the effects of presence of
other people on user-public product interaction. The relationships between social
context, users&rsquo / feelings, and task performances constitute the basis of the thesis.
These relationships were investigated by consulting to the literature, but mainly by
conducting three empirical studies. All these studies revealed that the presence of
other people affects the users&rsquo / feelings and task performances greatly.
