Abstract

Emotions are omnipresent in our lives. They influence our health, decision making, and social interactions—bilateral as well as multilateral. Hence also modern forms of opinion building and exchange, e.g., on e-participation platforms, should consider the effects of emotions on individual and group level. Previous research on group interactions demonstrated that providing the members with information about the affective state of the entire group, reciprocally influences the affective states of the individuals and can even increase group performance. Hence, in the current short paper we propose group affect live biofeedback (LBF) as a beneficial feature for e-participation platforms. We want to examine how group affect LBF based on the participant’s heart rate impacts participation behavior.
