Abstract

Selfies may have an effect on the psychophysiological state. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the psychophysiological state by providing feedback for selfies. The effect of the time period was also investigated. The period from the date a selfie was taken to the experiment date was configured as 2 conditions: a Short period (1-40 days) and a Long period (41-80 days). In this study, the evocation of emotions was attempted by providing feedback for four types of selfie 1: good face, 2: bad face, 3: good psychological state, and 4: bad psychological state. “Comfort emotion”, “Like emotion”, and “Awareness” significantly increased when providing feedback for a selfie evaluated as having a good face and a good psychological state. The experimental results using two-way analysis of variance revealed that the physiological state was not affected by the time period, but the psychological state was affected by the time period. The combination of (Positive Face Evaluation) × (Long period) selfies had more positive effect on “Awareness”.
