To address this limitation, We conducted an experience sampling method study to explore the emotions that individuals experience during their interactions with and through their mobile phones and what situations or events elicit these emotions. The preliminary findings show a number of significant relationships between emotions and specific clusters of situations and events. Additionally, age and gender were also important indicators.
