Abstract or Description

Engagement is a broad and multifaceted research subject. Self-report engagement data of time-based experiences such as life performance or films is mostly collected through post-hoc questionnaires. The present study compares two devices that allow for real-time continuous self-report while watching 2 short films featuring contemporary dance. The first device is a squeeze ball with a pressure sensor inside and the second device a mechanical linear slider.
Users are prompted to indicate their emotional engagement throughout each film using a device. Electrodermal activity (EDA) was also recorded as an indicator of arousal. Across a study involving 31 participants, the squeeze ball and slider reveal comparable overall correlations to EDA data. However there are indications of user-preference for the squeeze ball in the context of rating emotional involvement.
