“…The results in this study, however, show that facially expressed sadness is the second-most prominent emotion expressed during the activity, second only to happiness 1 . A similar result was also found in another recent study where tourists watched tourist commercial films ( Hetland et al, 2015 ). Here the participants expressed more sadness and anger compared to happiness while they watched the films.…”

“…Still, the advantages of automatic coding in most cases outweigh the cost, making this method increasingly popular. It has previously been used in a number of fields like emotion science ( Bartlett et al, 1999 ; Chentsova-Dutton and Tsai, 2010 ), educational research ( Terzis et al, 2012 , 2013 ; Chiu et al, 2014 ), human-computer interaction ( Cohen et al, 2003 ), consumer behavior ( Garcia-Burgos and Zamora, 2013 ; Danner et al, 2014 ; de Wijk et al, 2014 ), user experience ( Goldberg, 2014 ), clinical investigations of facial nerve grading in medicine ( Dulguerov et al, 1999 ), monitoring pain ( Lucey et al, 2012 ) and reaction to advertisement and commercial films ( Teixeira et al, 2012 ; Hetland et al, 2015 ). With video cameras for capturing facial expressions becoming increasingly better and smaller, this method can now be applied in new areas of investigation like extreme sports.…”

Skiing and Thinking About It: Moment-to-Moment and Retrospective Analysis of Emotions in an Extreme Sport

Happiness is typically reported as an important reason for participating in challenging activities like extreme sport. While in the middle of the activity, however, participants do not seem particularly happy. So where does the happiness come from? The article proposes some answers from a study of facially expressed emotions measured moment-by-moment during a backcountry skiing event. Self-reported emotions were also assessed immediately after the skiing. Participants expressed lower levels of happiness while skiing, compared to when stopping for a break. Moment-to-moment and self-reported measures of emotions were largely unrelated. These findings are explained with reference to the Functional Wellbeing Approach (Vittersø, 2013), which argues that some moment-to-moment feelings are non-evaluative in the sense of being generated directly by the difficulty of an activity. By contrast, retrospective emotional feelings are more complex as they include an evaluation of the overall goals and values associated with the activity as a whole.

“…The survey stemmed from tourism and video marketing research. The survey examined if watching a 360-video would increase willingness to travel to the destination and participate in the activities on the video [2,30,53], participant feelings about the video [30], their spatial presence while watching the video [1,30,54,55] and their intentions to share the video on social media [46].…”

360-degree videos offer great tourism marketing opportunities. Compared to traditional videos, 360-degree videos offer more compelling imagery of potential travel destinations, a "try before you buy" experience. These 360-degree videos can be viewed with various devices, including tablet and VR (Virtual Reality) goggles. The study, conducted at Helsinki-Vantaa airport, comprised 221 international tourists given VR glasses or iPads to watch a 360-degree video and answer a survey. The results reveal that the VR glasses and the iPad tablet had similar effects on travel intentions and behaviours. However, the viewing experience differs depending on the device. These findings suggest that some 360-videos will actually perform better on a tablet than with VR glasses. Tourism businesses and destinations should develop different content and situations for different devices. This study contributes to media richness theory and helps us to understand VR content as a type of rich media.

The Thrill of Speedy Descents: A Pilot Study on Differences in Facially Expressed Online Emotions and Retrospective Measures of Emotions During a Downhill Mountain-Bike Descent

When extreme sport athletes explain the engagement behind their taxing and risky endeavors, they often refer to the happiness generated by the activities. However, during the activity, these athletes seem neither pleased nor happy. This article proposes some answers from a study of facially expressed emotions measured moment by moment during downhill mountain biking. Self-reported emotions were also assessed immediately after the trip was over. The participants display less happiness during the activity than before and after the activity. No significant associations between facially expressed and self-reported emotions were observed. Findings are discussed with reference to the functional well-being approach arguing that some momentary feelings are non-evaluative in the sense of being caused by the difficulty of the ongoing activity. Within this framework, easy tasks produce happy feelings while difficult tasks produce interest—regardless of whether a goal has been reached or not. By contrast, retrospective emotions involve the evaluation of the activity in relation to its goal. When a goal is accomplished, the accompanying feeling is positive. If a goal (or value) is threatened, lost, or not achieved, negative feelings follow.
