隨著社會環境的變化，Arnett(2000) 提出「初顯成人(Emerging Adults)」一詞，描述一群既不是青少年也不是成年人、處於高度探索發展的人群，這時期大約發生在18到 30歲。因社會變遷快速，許多學者指出，舊的職涯規劃方法不再適用(Fouad, 2007; Cascio, 2007; Savickas, 2009) 他們也不再能參考父母那輩的生涯建議。

在這背景之下，生命設計(Designing Your Life) 應運而生。如今，運用設計思維 (Design Thinking) 於創建生涯的方式逐漸受到重視。然而，不少人發現西方和亞洲 文化之間存在著文化差異(Stanford Life Design Lab, 2018a)。此外，生命設計 (Designing Your Life) 也被鼓勵針對亞洲和臺灣教育環境進行修改。

透過回顧相關應用及文獻，本研究發現目前相關研究樣本大多為西方大學生。而在現有研究中也發現，現今仍需要一個有效的理論框架。本研究進一步認為，仍有一些現有理論能用來增強實施時的動機與認知。

因此，這個研究試圖提出一個優化版本，主要採用設計思維進行研究，過程包括:探索台灣初顯成人的需求、重新審思原有的元素(設計思維、故事、遊戲)、最後開發及測試出新的理論框架原型。

此初步研究結果，可作為後續產品或服務開發策略的參考。

With the changes in social structure, Arnett (2000) used the phrase "Emerging Adults" to characterize the group of people who are neither youths nor adults but are in a highly adventurous and developmental transitional stage. This period occurs between the ages of 18 and 30. Due to rapid changes in society, many scholars have pointed out that the previous methods of vocational planning are not applicable (Fouad, 2007; Cascio, 2007; Savickas, 2009).

In addition, they can no longer refer to the life advice of their parents' age.
In this social setting, Designing Your Life (DYL) was developed, and the use of Design Thinking in life is increasingly being appreciated. However, some people found that there are cultural differences between Western and Asian cultures (Stanford Life Design Lab, 2018a), and DYL may be modified for educational environments in Asia and Taiwan.

By reviewing the related literature, this study found that the majority of the existing study population were American college students. Besides, there is still a lack of a functioning methodological framework. Additionally, This study further concludes that some current theories that DYL might use to improve motivation and cognition during implementation.

Therefore, this study attempts to propose an optimized framework. This study uses the Design Thinking method to conduct the research. The process includes exploring the needs of Taiwanese emerging adults and reframing Design Thinking with Storytelling and Gamification. Finally, developing and testing a prototype framework.

The research results can be considered a design strategy for subsequent product or service development.
