Motivation -- to explore the nature and dimensions of attachment to digital and non-digital artefacts and explicate any differences in emotional attachment between digital and non-digital artefacts.
Research approach -- Repertory grid based study
Findings/Design -- no clear distinctions between attachment to digital and non-digital artefacts
Research limitations/Implications -- need to explore the underlying factors further in particular in relation to age and gender
Originality/Value -- complements earlier reported studies which suggest that digital artefacts are much less likely to afford attachment
Take away message -- digital artefacts do not pose unique challenges for sustainable interaction design
