  Entering the 5G/6G era, the core concept of human-centric communications has
intensified the search effort into analytical frameworks for integrating
technological and non-technological domains. Among non-technological domains,
human behavioral, psychological, and socio-economic contexts are widely
considered as indispensable elements for characterizing user experience (UE).
In this study, we introduce the prospect theory as a promising methodology for
modeling UE and perceptual measurements for human-centric communications. As
the founding pillar of behavioral economics, the prospect theory proposes the
non-linear quantity and probability perception of human psychology, which
extends to five fundamental behavioral attributes that have profound
implications for diverse disciplines. By expatiating on the prospect theoretic
framework, we aim to provide a guideline for developing human-centric
communications and articulate a novel interdisciplinary research area for
further investigation.
