“…'Natural' experiences (15) appeared primarily as background sound which was least prominent in this scenario, appearing 17 times primarily as 'Music', 'Nature' and 'Machine Sounds' (e.g. "traffic").…”

“…Emotional resonance has also been used in affective haptics. The Haptic Remembrance Book utilised pictures, sound and haptics to help elderly users reminisce about past experiences [15]. Macdonald et al [34] converted real-world sounds to vibrations to produce new emotionally resonant haptic stimuli and Shim et al utilised a 3x3 array of vibrotactile motors to craft cues emotionally resonant cues [51], eliciting a wider than typical range of affective responses.…”

“…Similarly, The Haptic Creature uses haptic interaction to simulate animal behaviours and communicate its internal emotional state [60]. Likewise, the Haptic Remembrance Book [15] used an affective haptic object to stimulate social interaction, by playing vibrations and audio to remind nursing home residents of past experiences, helping to prompt conversation.…”

“…This survey prompted users to make either tactile or audible suggestions for three reasons. Auditory and haptic often have strong cross-modal correspondence and some sounds have been successfully evoked using haptic technology with pleasant results [15,34]. Auditory suggestions also inform the a wider variety of experiences that users want , allowing for exploration of related haptic sensations.…”

This paper presents a survey informing a user-first approach to designing calming affective haptic stimuli by eliciting user preferences in different social scenarios. Prior affective haptics research presented users with stimuli and recorded emotional responses. By contrast this work focuses on the sensations users wish to experience and how these can be simulated using haptics. The survey (n=81) investigated which users preferences in four social situations to reduce social anxiety. Using thematic analysis of responses we created a coding scheme of stimuli derived from real-world experiences to emulate with affective haptics. By cross-referencing these categories with affective haptics research, we provide recommendations to designers about which calming stimuli users wish to experience socially and how they can be implemented.

Social anxiety is a prevalent mental health concern that impacts quality of life and makes social spaces less accessible. We conducted two studies with socially anxious participants, investigating using affective haptic comfort objects to provide calming support during social exposure. Participatory prototyping informed the design and use of the intervention, which was then evaluated between-groups with a social exposure task. Treatment participants held their preferred vibration-augmented prototype during this task; control participants did not. We observed no change in physiological measures, but treatment participants exhibited a significantly broader distribution of psychological anxiety scores. Participants in both studies found their objects pleasant and calming, made positive emotional associations with resonant stimuli, and used their objects to afford self-soothing tactile experiences. We discuss how future designers can facilitate calming affective haptic interfaces for socially anxious settings.
