How museum-based creative-product experiences shape cultural confidence via cultural cognition and cultural identity

Situated within a museum as a salient cultural place, the findings suggest that designed place-based experiences may relate to cultural confidence primarily through identity-related processes. Practically, designers and curators can leverage sense/act/think features to suggest cognition, emphasize think/relate to strengthen identity, and activate sense/relate/feel to support confidence-informing environmental psychology, design strategy, and policy/planning for places seeking to nurture identity processes under social and cultural change.
