Good Vibrations: Consumer Responses to Technologically-Mediated Social Touch
Device notifications are often administered with vibrotactile sensations (e.g. on mobile phones, wearables), yet little research has examined the psychological and behavioral implications of this haptic feedback. We explore how vibrotactile alerts can represent technologically-mediated social touch, and ultimately influence both performance and certain incidental judgments (e.g. sender attributions).
