Commenting on the research, Thibault Richard-Folian, General Manager at Replay Poker says: “Showing emotion is something you don’t want to do when playing poker and you need to make sure your poker face is strong so nobody can read you – but a good cry can be therapeutic. “With the current global situation, we know that people are spending more time at home and watching more TV and film than ever before.
We conducted this survey as a fun and interesting way of understanding the psychological link between entertainment and emotions, and how the emotional elements of film and TV can really affect viewers. This, in turn, provides insight into how different situations can affect our players, helping us find new ways to offer the best user experience to them from an emotional standpoint.” To find out more about the saddest on-screen moments click here.
