Pitfalls?

What does the participant remember most from the interaction?

If he had a bad interaction in the end, is this what is reflected in the questionnaire?

Or is it the mean of the whole interaction?

Emotions

What are emotions?

James-Lange (1884):

  • "... the result of physical changes in autonomic and motor functions"
  • Sensory input creates bodily responses
  • Awareness of bodily changes constitutes an emotion.

Scherer (2005):

  • Mobilization and synchronization of organismic subsystems
  • A response to a cognitive evaluation of stimulus events
  • Events are "of major concerns for the organism"

Moods/Attitudes vs. Emotions (Scherer, 2005)

  • Emotions are intense and short-lived (connected to specific events)
  • Moods are of low intensity and may last for days

  • If one really cool thing makes us happy, this will dominate the evaluation
