ABSTRACT
This paper describes some of the results of a probe study where members of three-generational families, where at least one person is geographically separated from the others, talk about their emotional experiences. The method for eliciting this information is briefly described along with some of the themes identified in a grounded theory analysis. These include: sharing the moment with pride; reassurance with regard to intergenerational obligations; comfort and consolation from yearning; and little time to give comfort to one another.

Designing Expressive Lights and In-Situ Motions for Robots to Express Emotions
HAI '18: Proceedings of the 6th International Conference on Human-Agent InteractionIn this paper, we explore how a utility robot might express emotions via expressive lights and in-situ motions. In most previous work, methods for either modality were investigated alone, leaving a huge potential to improve the expression of emotions by ...
"Out of sight, out of mind", investigating affective intergenerational communication over distance
OzCHI '16: Proceedings of the 28th Australian Conference on Computer-Human InteractionThe geographic separation of the generations due to globalisation decreases opportunities to maintain communication and connectedness between grandparents and adolescent grandchildren. Many studies consider the importance of social presence in ...
Social Sharing of Emotions on Facebook: Channel Differences, Satisfaction, and Replies
CSCW '15: Proceedings of the 18th ACM Conference on Computer Supported Cooperative Work & Social ComputingPeople often share emotions with others in order to manage their emotional experiences. We investigate how social media properties such as visibility and directedness affect how people share emotions in Facebook, and their satisfaction after doing so. ...
