Abstract :
The paper presents a study of emotional states during a gameplay. An experiment of two-player Tetris game is reported, followed by the analysis of the results - self-reported emotional states as well as physiological signals measurements interpretation. The study reveals the diversity of emotional reactions and concludes, that a representative player´s emotional model is hard to define. Instead, an adaptive approach to emotion recognition and individualized classifiers seem to be a better solution for affect-aware digital games.
