The current study explored perceiving emotion of video game characters. Previous studies on emotion proposed two types of emotion--primary and secondary emotion--and suggest that people tend to read primary emotion from non-human beings as well as humans, yet perceive secondary emotion only from humans. Acknowledging that a video game characters are often considered as humanlike objects despite their non-human nature, we examined whether people perceive both primary and secondary emotion from a video game character and whether emotion reading is influenced by character- and user-related factors. Participants were completed an online questionnaire, in which they reported to what extent they read each type of emotion from a female and male video game character. Results revealed that people read both primary and secondary emotion from a video game character, while positive emotion was more likely to be perceived than negative emotion. Prior video game experience was related to the extent to people read emotion, such that the more experience people have, to a lesser extent they read negative emotion. Furthermore, positive emotion reading was associated with likability of a video game character, suggesting that emotion reading may lead to positive evaluation of the character.
Abstract
The current study explored perceiving emotion of video game characters. Previous studies on emotion proposed two types of emotion--primary and secondary emotion--and suggest that people tend to read primary emotion from non-human beings as well as humans, yet perceive secondary emotion only from humans. Acknowledging that a video game characters are often considered as humanlike objects despite their non-human nature, we examined whether people perceive both primary and secondary emotion from a video game character and whether emotion reading is influenced by character- and user-related factors. Participants were completed an online questionnaire, in which they reported to what extent they read each type of emotion from a female and male video game character. Results revealed that people read both primary and secondary emotion from a video game character, while positive emotion was more likely to be perceived than negative emotion. Prior video game experience was related to the extent to people read emotion, such that the more experience people have, to a lesser extent they read negative emotion. Furthermore, positive emotion reading was associated with likability of a video game character, suggesting that emotion reading may lead to positive evaluation of the character.
