Thus, this was the first paper that showed a body-specific space-valence mapping. These highly influential findings led to a substantial body of research and follow-up studies, which could confirm the original findings on a conceptual level. However, direct replications of the original study are scarce. Against this backdrop and given the replication crisis in psychology, we conducted a direct replication of Casasanto's original study with 2,222 participants from 12 countries to examine the aforementioned effects in general and also in a cross-cultural comparison. Our results support Casasanto's findings that right-handed people associate the right side with positivity and the left side with negativity and vice versa for left-handers.}, language = {en} } @misc{TorresRuizFernandezGerjets, author = {Torres, Sergio C. and Ruiz Fern{\´a}ndez, Susana and Gerjets, Peter}, title = {Positive-right and negative-left : affective spatialization by digital "Grab" interactions}, series = {HCI International 2024 Posters}, journal = {HCI International 2024 Posters}, publisher = {Springer Nature Switzerland}, isbn = {9783031619311}, issn = {1865-0929}, doi = {10.1007/978-3-031-61932-8_26}, pages = {215 -- 223}, abstract = {Recent research exploring embodied interactions with digital interfaces indicate cognitive and affective implications regarding the processing of visual stimuli when the hands are near to them (hand-proximity effect). In this regard, the present study delves into the affective implications of digital "grabbing", particularly within the context of affective spatialization by hand dominance. Concretely, the Body Specificity Hypothesis (BSH) suggests that right-handers associate the right space with positivity and the left space with negativity. To test this assumption within an interactive environment, sixty right-handed participants performed lateralized grab interactions with forty pictures (20 positive and 20 negative) displayed at the right or left space of a touchscreen monitor. The results support an interactive positivity bias effect whereby grabbing positive (vs. negative) pictures at the right (vs. left) space was significantly faster. This finding is discussed against the background of the Spatial Affective Interaction (SAI) framework, integrating hand-proximity, affective spatialization, and approach-avoidance mechanisms to understand embodied digital interactions. Limitations include the need for further research on left-handed interactions and decontextualized stimuli. The findings highlight the relevance of considering ergonomics and emotional context in interface design.}, language = {en} } @misc{TorresRuizFernandez, author = {Torres, Sergio C. and Ruiz Fernandez, Susana}, title = {Interacciones digitales al alcance de la mano : influyen en nuestras emociones?}, series = {Ciencia Cognitiva}, volume = {19}, journal = {Ciencia Cognitiva}, number = {2}, address = {Granada}, issn = {1988-7884}, pages = {30 -- 33}, abstract = {Las interacciones t{\´a}ctiles con nuestros dispositivos electr{\´o}nicos, como deslizar una imagen en la pantalla, pueden influir en nuestra experiencia emocional.
